Wakefield Park Track Day 16/9/03- all welcome (organised by OZ GTI-R Owners Club)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

For anyone who is interested, the GTI-R Owners Club (Australian Chapter) is holding a track day at Wakefield Park, to be held on Tuesday 16 September.

The day is primarily for GTI-R owners to test their cars on the track, but as we are a small club we would welcome SAU members (or anyone) who would like to come. For the day to be fun (not too many cars) but affordable we have limited places to 35 participants. This makes the cost $50 each :D

Be aware that to drive you will either need a cams licence or a "wakefield licence" which costs $30 (valid for 1 year) and you will need to have (or hire for $20) an approved helmet. For more info on Wakefield Park go to: http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au

If you would like to come, you will need to pay your $50 in advance, to do so, or for more infor PM me :D

This will be a great day and a chance to get away from speed limits and speed humps and enojy your car as it's maker intended.

ha haah - just a joke for the GTiR guys.

A GTiR that ran an 11.4. should go better soon...

But yeah, hope you can come, the more the merrier. :)

C'mon guys! Where are all the die-hard track-fiend, schumacher wannabe skyline pilots? Consider this: A lightly modified GTST should be a good match for a gti-r. Both 2 litre (1 a 6, 1 a 4), both single turbo, one rear wheel drive, one four wheel drive. I guarantee a good day :P

Duncan,

We have hired the track for the day :)

Hope to see some of you there.

Wooo Hoo! Almost empty track!

I'll have to confirm closer to the date, but I'll be along for sure if work is OK...can't wait to whip some of those little gtirs :)

BTW, 11.4sec is bloody quick around wakefield, I can hardly get below 71sec :D

The only way I am going to beat one of these things around the track is if it has stock suspension with compliance wheels and tyres:cool:

& maybe if he has his hands sticky taped to the steering wheel!

I didn't have this much power of the FMIC last time I went down. best time I did all day was 1 min 21 secs. my mate with the stock as a rock MR2 did a 1 min 16secs I think. he was laughin the whole way home!

I may be able to fit it in...let you know closer.

I think they're talking about that straight line track thingy not real driving Duncan. :D [flack jacket]

Been hanging to go down again, havent had a licence for 3 months so gives me some actual competition down there!!

maybe let us know how many places are available for SAU members!!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
