as i have never been to sandown before, can someone tell my which entry gate we have to go in and how to get to it?

cheers.

Head down Princess Hwy - Outbound (Away from the City) go over big Springvale Rd intersection. Look for a left hand slip turn to sandown raceway prior to the over pass (bridge), which you will driver over. (Sandown is on your right)

Enter at the first gate. Usually always manned by security. Let them know you are here for WRX Club Sprints if asked.

For everyone else - The old entrance near springvale train station is apparently going to be locked these days to minimise traffic in suburbian area.

Nah, Wish I could.. Sandown and I still have some unfinished business. But unfortunatly Dutton has sucked me dry and there are no funds avaliable.

I was hopeing to get a dry run at Dutton so I could get into the teens (1m1*sec), but it will have to wait.

Bwahaha na i can do that all by myself.

Lets be honest here Adam. There are things that i will openly admit you can do better then me. Like punting a car around a race track, keeping your shit in check when ppl are trying to feck you up with shots, excelling after a night out at Dutton etc etc. But i bet if we sit down for a few drinks and exchange stories i have it on you when it comes to binning cars :/ So let me have my tim in the sun....upside down with cruch ed roof and spilt fuel burning my skin and eyes :wave:

man, i am lucky!

As usual before each track day i like to get under the car and make sure everything is nice an tight.

After struggling to get it on the hoist because it was sitting lower in the front we found that the sway bar had come undone at the center mounts, bending all kinds of shit, the forward arm attached to the castor rod had both undone bolts and torn other bolts out causing the whole front of the car to bust its welds between the chassi rails and the cross bar at the front.

the arm attached to the castor rod would have definantly given way on the track, probably after one stop, shooting my wheel straight back into the fire wall, similar to that of the GTR and Dutton..

it is all most likely related to the fact my engine mounts are made from granite. oh, and to top it off, i have lost power to wipers, climate and the dash. yay.

Bring on tommorow...

& thanks Mick for giving me your workshop for another marathon fix.

See you all there. I have to come along and try and keep Clayton honest in his WRX. They were taking it back to the workshop after the Island so this time its going to be real interesting.

Snowman, time for some 18s for you.... The car, the track and the weather all say yes !

Man , the Micolour R32 was doing an Endurance Race all day. LOL, i think the only car that came close to doing as many laps was the yellow Commodore :down:

Shame to see so many people having problems today. But good work to Matt for winding the time he did out of his bus before problems struck :down: LOL, like last track day i am pumped about the next one now, though as the date looms closer i am sure my enthusiasm will wane as the dollars add up :down:

And top work to the Datta Mafia. First thing i saw in the morning when i got there was Lee and Troy (feck...bless you) in the Dattos passing a whote R33 GTR :D Good to see scrutineering went your way as well :)

Same here Aaron.. although I did punch out a pb 1:22.7 in the first session before I got a puncture in the rear left tyre.. then I changed over to running on crappy used advan A048's on the black TE37's, but I wasn't able to improve my time throughout the day due to lack of grip. Oh and then I blew a turbo. Game over! :down:

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
