I dont even get what this thread is about.....

It doesnt take a genius to figure out what "when, where and how much?" would mean? I cant believe you actually need me to explain the title.

is he asking if there are any time attacks within 100km of sydney?? :S

Yes

as in sprints or hillclimbs

That would be great too, but i was thinking more circuit time attacks like oran park, wakefield or eastern creek. I was just wondering if there are any events coming up that the public can participate in.

on crack much?

No, can you speak english? "On crack much" doesn't make sense.

yeah....the m2-m7 time attack...

Haha, very funny.

harbour tunnel time attack

redhot

You and lingeringsoul should date each other.

So why not just ask that? I usually find if you take the time to articulate what you do know (or what you suspect to be the case) then properly phrase your question you'll get fewer spankers taking the piss out of your post.

Try the kindly folk at SAU NSW as there are a number of them who participate in track days and sprints/time attacks (The latter is just the Japanese term for the former. It is mostly used by 16 year olds & may explain the nonsense in this thread).

Beyond that have a look at the websites belonging to the circuits - specifically their calenders & try some of the larger performance shops who run track days..

Time attack...curse those BMI DVDs for having all new comers calling circuit sprints "Time attacks" :)

Look up the ARDC/Eastern Creek Calender for their next Friday L2S practice day and go have a blast. You will need a CAMS L2S licence which means you will have to join SAU-NSW to get the licence (Other clubs can do it, but you do own a Skyline :ph34r: )

Oran Park is not so easy to get on , but soon you will have your L2S licence which means you can attend any number of multi car club sprints at Oran Park. So look up various clubs websites and look at their calenders.

Next, there is Wakefield, they have plenty of open days you can attend, just look at their website for their calender.

AND, you would have been able to work all this out if you had of just looked at the website of any of the circuits you mentioned :wave:

Ahh, so its called circuit sprint in Oz, i did look on the track sites but i just couldn't find time attack or time trial.. bugger me. Thanks for that. HAHA BMI, yeah those damn dvd's got me really hyped up... especially anything that had the mine's gt-r in it... *dreams of owning that car*

I absolutely cant wait to get my hands on a cams license... soon, very soon.

I thought he was referring to Volk Racing Time Attack rims at first.

So yeah, say what you mean. We're not mind readers.

Oh, and just go do Wakefield. Easiest track to get onto in NSW (although it is 200km from Sydney), in terms of availability and licensing.

Fark. You keep starting dumb threads (re: I want a quiet exhaust should I buy a stagea will cops pull me over in a stagea) and wonder why you get flamed.

Also I doubt you will get a CAMS license "soon..very soon".

Now to your 'question' go attend a Wakefield track day...factor in costs for new brake fluid, possibly brake pads, maybe need to machine discs, oil change, helmet. A couple of laps at a track will rape your car so make sure it is properly maintained/prepared.

      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?

      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.

      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.
