Thanks Duncan. It shaping up for a great weekend.

My MR2 is in pieces and will not be ready till later this year so Im leasing a drive for the race.

We are planning a 300km race for Eastern Creek next year so you wont have to wait till November for a 300km enduro. We were also looking at Winton but its very hard to organise as the track is already booked out for next year.

Good luck with the build up and hope to see it on the track soon.

Cheers

Steve

Yes leasing is a great option.

Im looking into a future racer for the weekend.

Its $4000 for the weekend for the car,pit crew and team manager.

With 3 drivers it works out OK.

Even with two its ok based on the fact you arrive and drive. No set ups, endless hours prepping the car, towing it to the track, pit crew plus plenty more.

I show up, jump in a car with a pit crew ready including team manager and go racing.

Anyone seriously interested in joining in??

The Wakefield 300 turned out to be a great race.

I managed some footage which is available on my youtube site. The link is http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=CViGljv2H1k

It would have been great to see a gtr,silvia, subaru,evo and mr2 battling it out with the top teams over the weekend

MAybe next year..

We will have a dedicated site up and runnig inthe near future for those interested in being involved at any level in Australia's only 300km enduro for everyone

cheers

skylines are not eligible for bathurst 12 hours or the national production car series - the car has to be within 5 years from new and sold in Aus (unless its a holden in which case the rules will be changed for it).

skylines are welcome in the NSW state production car series though

I was referring to the camry comment, not the GTR.

I well aware of what can and cannot run at Bathurst 12hr/Production car series. You can run R33/R34 skylines in Production Sports. I had a conversation with the president of Production sports a few years ago when I was toying with the idea of building one for racing. Instead of the R33 Im building a MR2 turbo atm to run in Production Sports which will be an experience.I dont expect to all that competitive but gives a me a chance to run with a great class of cars and have some fun. Its also aimed at the W300 for next year.

I heard a rumour there may be a 300km race at EC on the same format as the W300 for next year. If I hear more on it I will let you know.

Cheers

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
