Hi all

On behalf of the ACT Supra Club I am trying to gauge who might be interested in coming to a private track day at Western Sydney International Dragway (WSID) for a Supra v Skyline event held by the ACT Supra Club. We will try and have this event sometime this year (at the worst, early next year) with the prospect of running it as an Annual Event.

At a minimum we will require at least 40 cars to keep the cost down to $200 per entrant. We are trying to keep this to 20 cars of each model. A deposit will be required to reserve your spot for the event within 8 weeks of the event start date. The full amount is required by no later than 4 weeks of the event start date and is non refundable. If you are unable to attend the event after you have paid the full amount then you will have to find a replacement car of the same model car as your own.

What I would like to get from you all is if there is a minimum of 20 Skyline’s here that may be interested in participating in this event. It would be great if we could get 10 from NSW and 10 from the ACT.

As stated earlier, this is a private track day and it is limited to the following access for drivers, crew and spectators:

1 driver will be allowed two crew members and 3 guests/spectators. Basically, each driver can have no more that 5 people excluding themselves, therefore limiting the day to a possible 240 people.

In line with the mandatory rules of WSID, some of the other rules we have been thinking of are:

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

2. All cars must be street registered.

3. All cars are limited to no more than semi-slick tyres.

If there is a car that does not comply with any of the above additional rules but intends on joining us for the day then this car will be excluded from all prizes.

Depending on sponsor availability, there will be prizes available.

Some additional details of the proposed day are:

When: Sunday Date to be finalised

Where: Western Sydney International Dragway

Start time: 8:00 am to 10:00 am for scrutineering

Finish time: 4:00 pm for drivers briefing

Cheers

Ross

<<Reserved for interested participants>>

I don't think you can edit posts now Ross.

Anyway I always said I would be in on this and I know some cheap local accommodation.

So long as the money is guaranteed to be returned if the event does not go ahead or you have to change dates unexpectedly and we can not make the new date (we had some trouble with paintball). Yes I'm in.

Please let us know of any requirements for the car (Fire extinguisher etc).

Hope you posted in NSW section

I totally understand that the price is a little on the expensive side, but please note that this is for a full day of drag racing for up to 40 vehicles. So if your car is totally unbreakable you can expect a bucket load of runs. I went to WSID a couple of months ago for Wicket Wednesday and only got 4 runs for my $50 and that was no where near enough for me.

I'm in the process of obtaining sponsors to assist with reducing the cost of the day and also prizes for specific classess. eg Naturally Aspirated, standard turbo, aftermarket turbo, burnout, top Supra & Skyline etc....

If 40 cars cannot be obtained then the cost will blow out, that's why I need an indication of who might be interested and if you budget $200 just for racing and if we can be assured of 40 cars, then the price will only get cheaper.

I now have two dates that are available for this year.

Sunday 16 November

Sunday 21 December

The December date might be too hot for the turbo cars, so I would rather doing this in November if possible.

I'll put a post in the NSW section now.

Cheers

Ross

To give you guys who dont like the price it cost $50 on a Wednesday you get 3-4 runs max. I have been with Rotary/SAUNSW drag day and seen people get up 30+ runs so for the number of runs you get the price is cheap plus there will be like minded people there to help you get your times down.

Hi guys,

Just a quick update for you.

So far from what I can see is that from the NSW Skyline owners, there are 9 interested people pending date. In the ACT we have 1 (John) and 2 that are not happy about the price.........

Looks like this event might be NSW Skyline's v ACT Supra's as I'm having the same problems with the NSW Supra Owner's.......

Guys/gals, I've done the hard work so far, all you need to do is say you're in or out.......

    • 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
