Autosports "christmas At Wakefield" Dec 15th 2007


Recommended Posts

AUTOsports Australia are proud to announce:

Family Christmas Track Day

Saturday 15th of December 2007 at Wakefield Park Raceway

The AUTOsports Crew are happy to announce the next and last track day for 2007.

Sorry guys, this has been cancelled due to wakefield resurfacing the track. Another date will take it's place.

* Maximum of 60 cars

* Full timing as well as passenger sessions

* Christmas fun for the kids

* Each Driver will receive an Autosports long sleeve track shirt

With the success of previous events, we would like to extend an invitation to performance and motorsport fans, to come down to Wakefield and have a heap of fun.

We will have on hand John “Bozman” Boston, Australia’s best driver trainer… we will also have 2006 Aussie Racing Car Champion Paul Kemal as well as multiple Dutton Rally winner Martin Notaris along for driver training. The services of these skilled driver trainers, is included in the $160.00 entry fee.

Normally when we head to the race-track, our partners and kids don’t get along and see how much fun we are all having. This event, we would like to encourage everyone to bring their Wife’s and Children and find out how much fun we have.

We will set up a marquee on the back straight (between turn 9 and 10) as well as maybe a jumping castle and other activities for the kids as well as what ever else we can get going for them. Given that it is Christmas… we will have Santa come along with a few surprises.

* This event will have timing for all cars.

* Each group will have a session without timing for passenger rides.

You will need to have a valid CAMS or Wakefield Park licence. A Wakefield Park licence can be purchased at the track when you register. I believe that the cost of the Wakefield Park licences have recently increased to $50.00. Note that all passengers will also require a Wakefield Park licence.

AUTOsports has invested a serious amount of time and resources into getting our new online event registration system up and running. Please let us know if you have any problems.

Please take note of your reference number as displayed on your registration page. If you forget this you can click on your name below and see it again.

i really wanna do wakefield, this sounds like a good opportunity...

On a seperate note, does purchasing a Wakefield park licence automatically cancel the need to have a valid CAMS licence for the day? (sorry i'm a wakefield virgin)

hey corinne :rolleyes:

if everything goes well with 'hitman' in the next couple of weeks, i'm in for this one

i'm assuming this isn't a skyline only event??

It's an open event to all car makes and models, we had a Ford GT40 at the last one and had a Ferrari F430 at the one before that just to give you an idea. :thumbsup:

Corrine if your car isn't ready and you still want to go down anyway let me know and i'll collect you on the way down. :P 90% chance i'll have the wagon by then :(

hey corinne :D

Sure thing James!

Hope all goes well. AUTOsports is an all car club, we have lots of evo's, wrx's nissans galore even some prestige cars.

Everyone who is motorsport minded is welcome. :)

Hey Hey Ian,

I'm hoping my car is, I've actually been asked to do a charity event on this day. If my car isn't ready buy then I will be either riding down or taking the ute down to wakie :)

And I'm In.

I expect it's BYO trailer ?

You got that right. BYO glue gun too for your little spills all over the track missy!

No you're not. The only reason you are in is because Beau is going and you're trying to get into his pants again.

I'm amazed that you thought that up without a glass of wine in your hand corinne. :)

Beau is only going so he can attempt to defend his time against the GTS lol.

Remember everyone. Your position is only confirmed when we have recieved payment. We are already half full!

Who is confirming payments? I paid the day I signed up but still have the asterix thingy next to my name :/

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
