Normally its a no refund policy. However, if you give me enough notice that you cant make it (and by that i dont mean 5pm friday before the event :() then i will try to find one of the standby people to fill in. If i fill the spot, then i am happy to refund you. Does that make sense?

I have attached the official flyer for the event. It has all the infomation about the event. It is outdated a bit in the pricing, this event is now $1070 to run. (just letting you all know so there is not confusions etc.)

Yes there is a class type briefing. When we get there all drivers will be taken to a room and briefed on what is expected, what they will teach you etc etc. Takes ten minutes.

Appealing, it is completely upto you if you want to be a part of this event or not. I have not sent you payment details, because you have not PM'd me to say you want to join in on this event. I only give the details to those who are confirmed entrants. I feel it may be best if you do not enter this event, but come out and have a look at how the event runs/operates etc. I have a feeling that you may get upset if it is not what you wanted and i understand that completely, you should be as fully informed as you can be that this is the sort of training you want/need. I also suspect that the level of training you want, you may be better signing up for the next "noLimitEvents" 1 on 1 driver training. (4-5 hours of 1 on 1 training with your own personal instructor at Wanneroo in your own car), or even Trackskill commodore training? Now, while these are fantastic ways to learn to drive correctly, you will pay at least $650+.

Just my thoughts. If i can help any further, let me know.

Cheers

Brad

Thanks Brad, I have already done the commodore Trackskill, (great day & worth every cent), and entered a No limits night event, which was very informing... I learnt lots... I went with about 4 instructors during the evening. Drove like crap at times, found the Stagea very heavy, amazing cornering though and great speed out of the corners. The car didn't miss a beat. I found that the seats (mine are leather) left a lot to be desired as did the brakes. So maybe you now understand why I was so keen to get the car into a skid so that I could explore the limit of traction and how to control it. I am keen to get Iolanda (my wife) having a go too. So as long as we can take it turns, (and you said that was ok earlier), then we're in. The car will be fitted with std tyres and wheels for this event, cause a new set of tyres gets fitted next week, and I don't want them to get torn up.

So Count us in.

Brad, Seems like there may be a few free spots for some Skylines to come along and dish some chop :D

atleast u will have an excuse for spinning out on this event as it does involve cornering lol :blink: how come i never saw u cruisin around at all Paul? i also loved the Meisters on the 350z they looked great

Brad, Seems like there may be a few free spots for some Skylines to come along and dish some chop :D

yeahhh bring it biatch!!!!!!

*snaps fingers*

teh pulsar will pwn joo too! :blink:

PS - will you be bringing the "screaming dan" mascot doll for your passenger seat?

Brad, Hmm, tripple plate clutch and a traffic jam (Supercruise), didn't seem like a great mix. Beside the Zed has aircon and, stereo etc :D And you can talk about spinning, I thought your attempt at the Motorkhana would never end, even I was getting dizzy just watching you :blink:

Dale, Nah, the mascot will be staying home this time :blush:

Brad, Seems like there may be a few free spots for some Skylines to come along and dish some chop :D

Yeah i may enter in your car Paul. I have a score to settle with that car at AHG :blink:

haha the motorkana was supposed to be like that, i did a proper go first time and then the guy running it said just cut sick and do donuts etc wherever u want (and thats no word of lie), hence me just cutting it up :blink: he timed everyone and said like 40 sec for others and i was like 1 min 30 sec or something lol, i love taking advantage of being able to cut up some grass legally :D

can we see if a few other legnum owners would like to join us ??(if they want to of course)... as there is only a few of them in Perth... and I can't see them having an AHG day anytime soon...

maybe 1 or 2 :D to make it interesting

i got a few mates possibly keen, theres a 300hp 7m soarer mz20, 400hp+ 1jz soarer mz20 (they are the older models not the boat versions), a 450-500hp r31 rb26 skyline, and maybe a r32 gtst with 440hp rb26, add abit of variety to the mix :D

if theres space free later on let me know and ill see if these guys are keen

Lets see if we can fill it with Wagons first LOL

Jippa, your happy to let in say 2 more Legnum's? At least Mitchy can have some mates there then :D

Do you mind if i enter in to the event? Ill either Drive my Skylines or GTS-tVSPECs as i need to get used to that car? lol

p.s. Payment list is updated as or 21-1-08. :(

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
