Skid pan! Now that I would love to do. Is that on a specific day or on all days?

(I'm hoping to be able to go to either the 31st March or April 1st)

Also, what is Oran Park's policy regarding cameras in cars?

Oh... and is there quality fuel available in or near the track?

Sorry for all the questions but I have never driven at any track before :)

Its true it is a nugget. Just a reasonably quick nugget thats all.

If Ive got it ready for the skid pan I may share it around.

Chances are yes Ill be at the Skid pan day. I have not entered as yet but ill get onto eddie this week about it.

Thanks edge mate, I might get in touch with them after the Easter break and have a chat.

Mind you, my engine light is now flickering on @ 6OOORPM... hmm (!). Need to suss that out as well before a track day!

Cheers

Wayne_J talk to a club exec If you can meet up with one you should be able to get the L2S licence on the spot.

so where was everyone today!??!?!

had a mad day! heaps of track time. was sedans vs a truck for the morning and then the truck left so just open circuit!!!

yay

so much tuning time, to day it was tuning the power fc with my new datalogic. really moved forward with the tune. shes running great now...

awesome but upsetting crash from some torana, he flipped over on the dirt at the end of the straight. felt very bad for him, no one likes to see that at all....lots of damage.

and the best thing was i didnt get pulled over by the cops this time...double YAY!

time for a real seat now and some lightweight rims...

PS, today i was told no to drift?!! whats the go? why do you recon that was?

I just got back from the track, fun fun. My first time!

6-8 times round track - from memory corner speeds end straight 60 70 70 130 70 80 120 ? 100 100 then last corner 70 onto straight -- only from memory which is shaky as I had an hour and a half of trouble on the way home. make 190-200kph on straight.

then boiled my brake fluid

The nut on the bolt holding the clamp for the lower radiator hose onto the radiator fell off and only discovered it coming off the freeway on the way back when it stalled and there was abit of smoke. I will need to pop by nissan spares when they open. At the moment though with the cap off and the pipe just lossely conencted by hand seems like in 3rd gear something might have been damaged as the engine is haveing spark breakdown a bit over 3000rpm, hope its just a coil pack which got wet from the water spray onto the top of the engine which happened when I was filling the radiator (steam was spewing out as I poured the warter in) and not due to a damaged piston or ring.

frozenwaffles maybe the drift concerns were due to the truck being on the track? I wasn't given any special instructions before I went on, just told the truck had just come off.

Just noticed lots of large lumps of rubber picked up from the track seem to have melted onto my tyres.

The surface of the tyres look like they melted too. Hope it doesn't ruin them with temp cycling for next time.

TUESDAY 25th IS NEXT TRACK DAY I'll be there if I can get the clamp and the missing is fixed. I'm ready to do the brake fluid Monday morning.

As of right now No. Im planning to shake the car down at the skid pan next weekend with the new transmission and brakes then the 1st at Oran THEN if there are any spots available Ill enter it into the state round once im confident it will be okay.

Have the 2nd round of the MRA series coming up too, I missed the first round due to broken gearbox.

sounds like everyone had a mad day. good to see.

weather was great too!

as much as i love oran park need to give wakefield a go...

does eastern creek do private practice at all?

whens the next biggie for us 'line drivers?

yeah eastern creek do have private practice. about 3 times a year and about 400 cars turn up :)

best way to get out there is to do a super sprint, state rounds are held there and so are individual clubs ones.

the place is just way too expensive for most clubs to risk hiring it for the day (think $10k once you add all the insurance and other extras)

wakefield is open often (around once a week depending on bookings). yesterday was really busy though the state champs are going there in 4 weeks and everyone wanted to get practice on the new circuit (tar was relaid over xmas)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
