Timespan is going to let me know the dates - I will put the forms up here when I know.

I'm thinking about putting a challenge out to the Supra Club as well, that should be fun.

So start planning :)

$80

Certificate to place winners. Two cars on the track at a time at released intervals, lap finishes just before pit entry (they have taken out the straight). A very well organised event and professionally timed.

It will be a fun day.

This is where I understand the track will run...

Michelle!

Cheers for posting!!

wow - sounds like a great day but as Tim said, a few of us are at the Mountain that weekend for the supersprint/hillclimb!

How often does this event run?

Would be keen next year for sure!

Looks like fun - how many runs do you get?

I know a lot of the guy are headed to Bathhurst that day.

I don't know how many runs as we haven't done this one before... I'll find out and get back to you.

Cheers

Michele

I just seen this thread...

why was it cancelled, not enough interest?

Is it possible to post a link on the supraforums when a event like this(or any other) is available? (in the cruise section).

I dont come in here often enough, and just like today, i havent seen this thread until now, so it would of been late anyway... but otherwise i would of been keen.

Ohh nooo :rofl:

It seems there may be new rules with the new track owners... not making it viable to hold future events at Wakefield *sob* - I wonder where this leaves us holding SAU Track Days at Wakie in future? I was soooo looking forward to this event.

---------------------------------------

Folks

Following a brief discussion with Wakefield Park management today, I have to report that in view of the operating rules recently handed down by the new track owners, it is no longer viable for me to organize events there. Track hire charges are now prohibitive, the rules on event cancellation untenable & the apparent demise of karting events would appear to rule out any further 'standard' hillclimbs. Clearly, only 'big money' events will run at Wakefield Park in the future. Fortunately for the rest of us, Fairbairn Park (hillclimb) on Sutton Road in Canberra continues to be good value-for-money & as such, is worth the support of club motorsport folks. There are several other club level venues/events in our area equally worthy of your support.

I would like to thank you for participation in Timespan@Wakefield events over the past few years & wish you all a safe & pleasant Christmas & a great 2008.

Cheers......

Dave

SAU Canberra together with 5th Gear Motorsport were investigating holding a Supra vs Skyline Track Day @ Wakefield. I'm not sure where we stand now, but if it proceeds I will rally things up here and let everyone know.

*still sobbing*

that really sucks.

Michelle - I know we are looking at a day next year for a track day - I have also eailed them last few weeks and haven;t heard. Lets hope we can still book. We will keep you all updated.

But that really sucks :rofl:

new owners suck! :rofl:

  • 1 month later...

Make it a date 2 months down the track on one of the no speed limit days, and just pack the place full

Btw id be in FOR SURE if my motor is run in by then

Id love to race against supras

ACT is in the process of organising a Skyline vs Supra day which may extend to other clubs to make up the numbers.

clicky clicky for Skyline vs Supra thread

We are looking for approx 40 cars to break even on costs. We're looking for some interesting fun prize/trophy/certifcate ideas to make it interesting... see the ACT thread for more details.

I'll keep you posted once we know what is happening.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
