All the cars will be owned by "million dollar driver challenge" so we dont have to answer to anyone re: damage etc.

All participants are not liable for any damage done to cars in any of the sessions, it is all part of motorsport and we have allowed for it.

Having said that, drivers will be let out in 10 second increments so there shouldnt be any hassles and we will have the event fully marshalled too.

Called up to speak to Jason this morning but got his secretary - lindsay (I think), anyway 2 of mates wanted to enter in the Monday trackday but cant come up with the funds till mid next week. Lindsay spoke to Jason then rang me back to say that was ok and will put their names on the list anyway.............seriously, what more can these guys do!!! Thanks Jason, cant wait for the trackday.

Hi

The Friday shakedown is only open to people attending the weekend "challenge" event unfortunately.

The Monday and Tuesday events do have alot of track time for entrants so there should be ample time to get used to the cars ie: 4 x 1/2 hour sessions throughout the day.

Thanks,

Lindy (on behalf of Jason)

Million Dollar Driver Challenge

Hi all,

The Million Dollar Driver Challenge main event is almost sold out - we have just 11 spots remaining to fill of the 300 we are allowing.

We are making it a priority to fill all the remaining spots by this weekend!

As a result we are offering a really good deal to those who are interested in competing in the event at a reduced rate - please email me for more details, it is less than what we posted on this site earlier on and those 10 of you who took up the earlier deal will be given this new deal too - so dont worry!!!

This will be the best value motorsport you will ever get guys and girls.

Fuel tv - part of the Fox organisation are also on board as a partner and will be producing a 1 hour program on the event which will be aired 2 weeks after the event, they will also be producing a 1/2 hour program dedicated to the 2 1 day track days which will air 1 month later.

Also, the 1 day track days are filling fast too guys:

Monday - 52 paid and confirmed

Tuesday - 27 paid and confirmed

We are also doing a special deal for SAU members for these days - email for details.

Just registred for the weekend event with Lindy - what a great deal....anyone else here entered?

Yeah, chris, send lindy an email as they have an awesome deal for the mon/tues trackdays, much cheaper than the $400 advertised and I think they are only doing it for sau forum members.

Ok there are plenty of sceptics about this event actually taking place. Can we get a list going of the 275 people that have actually forked out full price.

I spoke to Subaru today and they do not know anything about the event. Jason, you said you had 28 cars already, can we see pictures of them?? As the order is for some 45 cars, I thought that this would come up on Subaru's radar. Have you got them from Japan.

I would love this event to be true, but I would like to see proof ie pics, entry list etc

If it's on, I'm in :)

Boz, I was thinking the same thing re Subaru. i have a friend very high up in the chain who looks after cars coming in and he also knew nothing about it. However if it were me, i would be bringing them in from Japan as track only cars and avoid all the taxes etc which is why i decided that my mate not knowing wasn't enough reason to doubt it :-)

Re the C63 AMG........I spoke to merc and they know nothing about it as well. How are you going to get one as there is a decent waiting list. I work for Merc as well.

I will speak to ACP magazines tomorrow and see what they know as they own Unique cars. Has anybody made contact with wakefield to find out if the bookings have been made. If not, I will speak to them tomorrow as well :D

It is always amazes me how when it comes to things motorsport related that everybody knows somebody and everyone is an expert - so without getting excited let me set the record VERY straigt for you Bozman1 and others.

When I spoke to you the other day and you asked me if Nick Senior had done me a good deal, I didnt say yes, in fact I didnt say anything at all. The reason for this is that yes, I did source the vehicles overseas as after speaking to a few local Australian Subaru dealers it quickly became clear that purchasing the vehicles here would not make the best economic sense.

We also spoke to a few workshops about preparing and running the cars for us those that did get back to us wanted drug money and some of the more reputable ones, well, I am still waiting for them to get back to me, so we decided to go it alone on this front too.

In terms of the C63, if you do indeed have something to do with Mercedes Benz you would know that currently there are atleast 6 cars sitting on showroom floors across the country for immediate delivery - we have one coming in February.

Please feel free to contact Justine or David Keens at Unique cars to verify their involvement - we have a full back page advert in the current issue and another full page advert advertising the 1 day track days in the December issue due out early December.

Please feel free to contact Robyn at Wakefield too and she can enlighten you on our booking with them too.

On our website and all our advertising it states very clearly that we have no affiliation with Subaru Australia or Mercedes Benz Australia in any way, shape or form.

Finally, if anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me on my mobile 0410614330 at any time, I will be more than happy to take your calls.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
