Which day for the track day? No dates yet. Tickets would be around the 150 to 155 mark with these numbers.

Update on the Skyline V Supra track day.

This has been sometime in the planning and it has not been the easiest thing to get going, so I’ll let you in on the current status. I’m taking holidays soon so nothing will get looked at until March now.

In short this will not happen in the March/April time period I had hoped, due to supplier issues. I am still hoping to offer a track day in the future. However all is not lost as the Skyline boys are very keen on running a Dyno day at ESP in early March (see ACT Skyline forum)

The reasons for the delay in running the track day are listed below:

Some of the current facts:

• With the increased price at Wakefield it would be unprofitable to run the day on a weekend.

• It will costs approx $6000 to run a day like the one we want.

• Every Friday was booked for the next 3 months, only one Monday was available in the same time period.

• There is a $500 non refundable deposit on a booking. I can’t offer a fixed date without a booking. As per above

• No supplier has been able to provide/confirm a total package that only costs $150 a head with between 40 and 60 entrants.

• Each supplier would like to receive a prepayment of the full amount before running a day like this.

I could run the day myself risking the entry fee etc, but if I did I would obviously want to receive the profits (if any) of the day (my money, my risk, my profits) But having a professional place run the day would encourage more people to attend and the idea was to give the clubs the ability to receive any profits made from the day.

I’ve been offered a session for approx $165 a head but 35 cars only. All payment would have to be upfront before I could set a date. This clearly will not work, people have lives.

Lame...

"I've been offered a session for approx $165 a head but 35 cars only." I am in :huh: lol

Now autosports have a weekend at wakefield, maybe its easier to get asmany people there as posible.

Do thye have official timing?

Yes, its pretty full on though, they seem to have too many cars there (60 I think)

I'd be all for only having 35 cars and having to pay extra, but is that with timing?

Specs on the 26/30? :banana::(

I wont put them all up but here's the rough idea:

26 head (well, duh)

rb30 bottom

forged rods

cp pistons

jun oil pump

tomei restrictor

r33 gtr n1 balancer

crank collar

sump baffles

cam baffles

gt42r (Slide built)

44mm gate

screamer

8.6:1 CR

With 23psi i should see a fu(kload of power and the 3L means nice down low drivability when tuned up :)

Yours is the stock height black one?

I was there watching you go round, your supra sounds really nice! What exhaust has it got?

yeah, I think I was probably talking to you on the day? Its got a JASMA system, but the front section including cat has been replaced since it arrived in Aus, presumably for compliancing. The Jasma muffler kind of fell to peices last weekend at QR anyway - all the stainless steel wool packing came shooting out of it on the track, and there's still some strands hanging out the tailpipe now... strangely it didn't get any louder!

I'll still be in for $165.00, but I dont like the idea of a set date after Ive paid, what if I cant get time off work?

if its far enough in advance, like july or something, that shouldn't be a problem would it???

Nah i didnt come over, but i did enjoy listening to it :banana:

Thats strange it didnt get louder!

Is it stock boost etc?

yeah, stock everything apart from pod, exhaust and jap spec Tein Super Street coilovers. Ran a 1:16.4 in the wet which I was fairly happy with for my first time there, and first time with the Supra on the track. Would like to go back there with a dry track. Trying to get my act together for their next day in March, but I want to bring my Datto track car down for that.

I was talking to someone from SAU down there who was thinking about buying a Supra, but I'm hopeless with names!

Upcoming Events

Date Cost Name Location

15-Mar-2008 $160.00 AUTOsports @ Wakefield Wakefield Park Raceway

And thats for 60 cars...

If we had less cars get more track time and its only 5 dollars more.

The only way to do it would be find a date that the track is free, get payment within a week and if its booked by then refund all money. (the date would have to be a fair while in the future...)

I would pay 165.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
