Hey all just curious as to what we do if it rains??? Are we still on???

I know my tyres are hoping for rain ;) .....

Worse case scenario for me probably keep my daily tyres on, as they are pretty good in the wet, somehow don't think my semi's will be any good in the wet.

Yeah the last wakefield day I went to it was fairly damp in the morning so I left my street tyres on... After 1-2 sessions though the racing line dried up really quickly.

Fuel is a part of life. With the petrol price rising we all have to deal with it. It's a 1/4 tank to get down there from the start of the M5 a full day on the track in my car takes up another 1/4 full day in the GTR is 1/2 tank.

Wow thats good economy last track day i did at wakey i got 60 kms racing to 3/4 of a tank

Yeah.. strongly recommend bringing some jerry cans with fuel. It's a 15 min drive to Goulburn which eats into your track time if you have to go fill up... You dont want to race on less than a 1/8 tank because you can starve the pump of fuel when you're belting around corners :happy:

Last day I did I went through about 70L of fuel.

You'll be fine with semis on driving on the road :ermm: (cop wise)

backseat out is easy, however I can fot my tyres in with my backseat in....although mine is a boat

Not when they have printed "for competition use only" on the sidewalls on each tire lol. :happy:

Wasn't going to spectate at this trackday however i've just realised my parents will be up here (Penrith) staying a night at my place which means there place in Goulburn will be vacant - hrmmm that sounds like a fair swap for the weekend.

If I do end up going down I can help out Abo.

pfft I'm going to go broke with all these extra's :P:ermm: Think I have a jerry can somewhere, anyone got an attachment/cone to fill up, as I think mines a big jerry can.

I'll have a funnel... just ask :happy:

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
