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.

ah so this is where the debrief is :cool:

good day, some nice cars there. shame about the guy who rolled, i was considering going out again but felt a bit so-so.. then that happened and i went "yeah... i'm gonna call it a day". had fun, but cornering speed pathetic with standard rims and tyres! need sway bars too heh.

i'll whore my fav pic of the day in this thread too:

are you entered for the state super sprint the sunday after?

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)

Good to see you had a fun day Daniel, i got called up for work later on :merli: so couldnt make it.

yeah i was pretty pumped after i popped my track cherry lol, never felt i had so much fun in the my car in my whole

driving life. but then again things do break :D but look at the bright side, you learnt so much aspect of your car(hopefully :)), ie next suspension upgrade, better tyres for next track day...

i so dying for one now :(

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
