lol, sorry richard, you've got the wrong person here - I don't even know how to open that lid over the engine thingy :bahaha:

Good luck getting it on the road before then - its only next Thursday, remember!

tell me about it. I have someone down at earls buying stuff for me as I type. I really want to fit my oil cooler before then too so that I can do more than 5 laps in one go.

Looks like I have a fun weekend ahead :D

I just had an even better idea! Forget fixing my car, lend me yours - you can now live your trackday dreams vicariously through me :uh-huh:

:D

c'mon.....

Very doubtful that I will have a car by the 2nd - I thought I'd have it 2 weeks ago, 1 week for bluey etc, so should have been cooking with gas - But alas - it is not to be -

Looks like I I have to wait till next time to make my Team Trackday debut.

Unless........ I hire a Lotus Elise for the day - only $400. I wonder if they would let me take to Eastern Creek ????? :D

really? that's cheap....but an even cheaper option is a $110 mx5 from sky vehicles in haberfield.....and their insurance contract does *not* exclude track use :D

Payment made in Cash or Credit Cards only.  

Security Bond $15,000 Credit Card ONLY  

100km Free included per day, 500km Free for weekend package. Excess kms are charged at $1 per km. Minimum of 2 days on weekends.

All,

I have some good news and some bad news.

The bad news, looks like I wont make the afternoon.

The good news, I will be sailing on a 72ft America cup sail boat around the harbour all ofternoon. Everyone enjoy the day and I do my best to enjoy mine.

Paul, can I come with you???

PLEASE!

Spoke to Moto,

We have spots bookes and a few spare, so if you want to come along even for a half day then let me know asap.

I have to work untill 8:30am so I won't be there to set you all up. I have your deposits organised though so just go to the garage at pit exit and sign up and pay the balance (should be $130) and you'll be right to go. I should be at the track right on 9am.

Don't forget your water and a full tank of fuel!!!!

Those that wanted to do a half day that will be fine. As Duncan said it will be negotiate a price on arrivial!

See you all Thursday,

Dan.

Done... wiring transfer now...

I WISH!!!

As said earlier, I won't be there in time to get all set up. Bonkers is now able to do a full day and has organised these days before so if you find him (Black GTS) I'm sure he can set you in the right direction if your having problems. I have also asked Zane (White GTS) to help out also.

See you at 9am,

Dan.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
