This wed is the last test day at Morgan till feb 2009.

I will heading out to test some roll center changes.

track is open 7am till 3pm.

Cost is about $50 1/2 day and about $70 for a full day.

Anyone tempted?

Are those timings and prices still correct? do they still do half and full days?

Cheers, Alex.

Your Aware this thread is almost a yr old????

Good luck in getting a hiring the track for a full day for the next 2 yrs!!!!!

Try http://www.morganparkraceway.com.au/ for Open days or for contact info.

Yeah I am aware of it thanks mate :happy:

I see the calender, it shows maybe 60 to 70 booked days. Now, wanna tell me how many days there is in a year?

They don't hire the track every day of the week. Best way to find out what available would be to Contact the Warwick Sporting Car Club.

Not say you won't be able just remember it being pretty full.

The website is usually the best place to start but can be unreliable at times... but only rarely.

I plan to be out this coming week with the police operation drift/track car and to do some testing on my car too before the Oakey Street Sprints next weekend and will probably be out for a play the following week as well before heading down to Oran Park for the SAU day.

To organize an SAU type day at Morgan, the best way is to contact Bill Campbell in exactly the way it says on the website. He is very particular about that. I have a friends who are friendly with Campbell's and could be a better way to approach them for a skyline only day. Could be a good opportunity to have a track school day? Just an idea.

If you can you get some frimish numbers and dates to me, I'll see what we can do.

I have just put a query in in the MP website. Might even put a EOI in a track training day up in the QLD section.

Im interested to take the 32gtr and Evo out to Morgan park.

I also have other mates in Evo's that would be interested.

let me know how you go.

Cheers

The long circuit with the planned extension should be a big improvement, less flip flop more speed. A lot of people rave about MP but bugger me you are constantly racking the steering wheel back and forwards as it is now, Lakeside is so much faster (better!), present MP is second rate by comparison.

As it is it suits old light short wheelbase cars like Escorts or modern cars with all the driver aids, particularly AWD's.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm not so much interested in organising an SAU day out there, most SAU Queenslanders are more interested in ice cream and wristing eachother off than motorsport.

In our little group of cars we have 9 guys who are nearly always up for it, so adding a couple of you guys into and we could make it a date I reckon >_<

Morgan Park website says;

"Track Open for Practice (Cars Only):

Wednesday 16th September

Wednesday 23rd September

Wednesday 30th September

*Please Note: All practice will be cancelled if weather is wet*

(Note: Car Race Meetings Competitor ONLY Practice Friday before an event, unless otherwise stated.)"

I'm going out this week for the morning session, which exp has shown to be the best because you can stay pretty much all day and tinker for an hour between runs. The guy who generally runs the practice days is a tip top bloke too. It might be $55 for the 1/2 day option now.

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
