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???

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
