Hehe! Just be weary of ebay.. If you can try pick up..

I'm looking into doing a group buy on track cameras the same ones that VZSS had at the texi if anyone is interested.

Still finalising some costs. But they should be here before the track day for anyone to use.

Was it the "gopro" or something like that?

There's already a buy going for them on these forums, a guy in tasmania is doing it

I've got the gopro and their pretty good, but as a heads up, your really paying for the mounts.

The camera is not very flexible, but it's tiny and is not too bad. I screwed up the sound setting first time out and so got no engine noise.

The mounts though are sensational, and make it very easy to move it around. Safely attaches to the front bumper, bonnet, windows dash anywhere you want it. And it's weather proof.

As per usual I will be there with bells on!!! Support crew for the chris's.

Only wish i had a car... :wub:

Soon, soon it WILL happen.

To newbie's to Wakey... dont stress too much about setup, wakefield is very forgiving, just concentrate on braking points and hitting apex's at Wakey and you should hit some good times! If the Ceffie could do it, anyone can!! :banana:

PS. Anyone got a cheap car wanna sell me ;)

G'day everyone,

Just posting a "heads up" thread for people to get ready for our annual SAU NSW track day.

Its at Wakefield park raceway just outside Goulburn.

track_arial.jpg

This will be classed as a "Driver training" day and all are welcome, and all types of cars a welcome, (cept for rotaries! ;) j/k)

We are just finalising some details and the proper thread will be started asap.

So, saturday June 21st, gear up and lets go racing :wub:

Bring your friends as passengers are welcome on the day.

Stay tuned for more details, however please post in here if you are interested!

Cheers,

Chris

Very interested

Can u please let me know how much it will cost and can my brother with a EVO 6.5 come??

thanks

Hey folks see the interest in cameras. I finally got to try mine out too and I thought it worked pretty good. I need to put some tape over the mic hole cause the wind noise is annoying but the video turned out pretty good.

Only other drawback is that it only comes with one mount so it would have been nice if they gave a couple.

Camera details: http://www.atc2k.com/

Footage from my car @ Wakefield 26th April:

(note I overlaid the info from my G-Tech RR in the video - the car pulled just over 1 G! whoohoo!)

These go for about $100 USD in the US and about $200 AUD here gotta love how everything is so expensive here. I shipped my from the US for about AUD $150 all up.

Oh, an no critics about my driving I know I have a lot to learn hehe.

Hmm.. the go pro quality seems a lot better..

I'm going to look into some different cameras. I like the mount on the go pro and the fact that the camera is in cased for scrutiny purposes.

Haha, im counting my dollars to see what i can do to the 33 for extra seconds. Saw some footage of my car on the skid pan and realised just how crap my suspension is......roll city!!! ;)

Anyone got some adjustable coilovers for a 33 gtst they wanna sell...preferably before June 21??

hmmm I need to make sure I get my split dump pipe in there before this day :wub:

Yeah, the mounting on the Go Pro looks superb. Keep the notice up if you get a group buy going. I might go for it to have a couple angles when running in the car.

The video conversion on Youtube also sucks. The native footage looks much better.

Oh, I get about 1 hr of video @ 30 FPS 640 x 480 mode on 2GB SD card. 2x 2500 mah NiMh batts power about that same time too.

Where Chris goes, I go... ;)

Yeah, I'm in.

haha..Thanks... I have reserved a spot in the passenger seat for you too. :)

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
