ECIR has been booked for a private day on Friday 31st October. Main aim is for the Production Sports Association to have an end of year event to thank their supporters.

There will be spare spots available and we need to get the numbers to break even on the day.

So all types of car are welcome.

If openwheelers turn up we will have to make separate groups.

Otherwise you will be able to go out when and as you like.

No 20 minutes on then 60 minutes off as in ARDC days.

Passenger rides are permitted so a chance to thank those who have helped.

Also an ideal day to sort out a car as there will be no lost time between tweaks to forget what it was like.

Seat belts and helmets / clothing to Supersprint requirements for Drivers and passengers.

L2S license as a minimum for Drivers.

Road cars to Supersprint standards also so effectively as they are.

We will have an Ambulance and a couple of recovery vehicles but no flaggies, just spotters with radios.

No limit on visitors and passengers, They will sign a form if going out but no charge for them.

Garages and pit lane available.

Gourmet sandwich lunch, tea, coffee, soft drinks available for $15 head. BYO after drinks if needed.

I need numbers of people taking part in that lunch.

Costs, Well , we have to cover the ARDC bill which is close to $10K so if we get 40 cars that’s $250 /car or if we get to what I think is the maximum for a clear go then 50 cars = $200 each.

We will initially ask for the $250 then refund on the day if we get the 50 cars.

I need an indication of who might be coming ASAP as we need to be sure we can cover the bill.

Please feel free to send this email on to anyone you think is suitable for such a day.

I will be Clerk of Course so I can assure you of the minimum of rules to make it a great day.

The entry form is attached and most details are on it.

I will have some indemnity forms at the track on the day so each driver will complete one, present their CAMS license and collect an armband to show the controller as you approach pit exit.

Passengers will fill in a similar form and collect a different coloured armband. They will also show this as the car exits pit lane.

Fatz and I are going

This is not organised by me. Just thought a few might be interested. Also if they get a total of 50 drivers the price drops to $200.

I believe there only a few spots left so it will almost certainly be $200 for the day.

Yeah $95 bux for a cams license for the year.

This day would probably not be suitable for anyone who has not done a club track day before.

Also be prepared for about $200 worth of fuel. These open days you can easily do 100's of laps which is tough on the car.

Either way its a steal for $200 and a good excuse to take a day off work.

I did a day a couple years ago on OP South with Aaron McGill and his race team. They took their sponsers out and he had an invite to other guys, and I was one. I was on the track with about 5 V8 lites....at first I was scared but after a while you can hear them coming and just know to get out of their way haha

I already have the friday off - Will see how I go with funds

anyone had much experience in one of these days? it sounds like it would get a bit sloppy...with all those cars out there.

Come down for a free joy ride.

You find that at the start of the day you have alot of cars on the track. A few hours in there are hardly any cars on the track.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
