well we were just out there last week.

but you need at least your CAMS level 2S licence, fire extinguisher (mounted correctly), blue triangle on the bonnet to show where the battery is located. you also need to be a member of a car club. have a helmet (obviously) need to wear long sleves (preferably cotton) you need to make sure your bonnet has a secondary latch (if its got a standard bonnet it SHOULD pass)

also it pays to go over your car before you get there to make sure it will pass scruteneering, ie. battery is secured, tyres are good etc...

thats about it, im sure if i have missed anything i will be corrected...

Certain times of the year - yes, only when track days are on

License - yes, CAMS L2S

Club - yes, to get the CAMS licence, must be part of a club affiliated

Basically join SAU-Vic, get CAMS, go racing.

Cheapest option in Vic :)

Thanks ferni:

Hey mate.

First of all you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club, such as SAU Vic. You can join for $70 first year and $50/y after that. See this thread for info on joining. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sa...ber-t60590.html

You will also need to get your cams L2S License - think it's about $95/year (from memory last time i renewed). See here for the form: http://cams.com.au/downloads/paperforms/20...Application.pdf

Once you have these 2 things you can go to any club level track day you want. Plenty are run by different clubs. WRX Club, HSV Club, PIARC Club, MG Club etc...

We (SAU Vic) run our track championship at WRX days. See this link for more info: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/20...-C-t203667.html

Next SAU day is on 1st June at Sandown. These days cost around $150 give or take.

As for what has to be done to your car, not a whole lot. You will need a fire extinguisher mounted in cabin (About $20 from kmart, autobarn, etc...) - I mount mine behind the passenger seat under where the legs of a rear passenger would sit. You also need pants, long sleeves and covered shoes. And of course a Helmet (ADR approved).

Also make sure your car is in good condition - ie no oil leaks, working brake lights, all simple stuff that you should have sorted on your car just to drive it on the street :)

See this link for more info about other events SAU Vic runs for its members:

If you want to have a look at some Club lap records and past motorsport championship results. Check these links:

Hope this helps :(

MOTORSPORT EVENTS is good to find out what is going on in Vic.

Actually that first link is out of date now - how to join SAU VIC:

Basically if you have any queries on joining SAU VIC you can send an email to [email protected] or send me a PM.

If you have any other motorsport specific queries, you are better off sending a PM to Ferni, Belsil80 or Scotsman (our motorsport director) or send an email to [email protected]

Cheers!! :)

The big difference is however is tht a club track day is about half the price of a training day so if you plan on going to the track more than once it quickly pays for itself to go the club route. If it is just a once off fun thing then the training days are probably the better option.

^^^ Both true, although the good thing I find about the training days is you get 10 times more track time and by the end of the day there aren't that many people out there so you can go as fast as you like :wub:

*Edit: Although what I call fast and what you two call fast is two different things :/*

That's a good point. But the other side of it, is doing 20min sessions flat out isn't usually the best for the car, plus everything starts overheating - brakes, tyres, engine.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
