Hi All,

The 1st official Wakefield track day for 2009 will be held on Saturday May 2. As usual all are welcome, especially newbies. Last year this track day had 50% of the entrants being newbies. It was great to see. The reason why the newbies feel comfortable coming as well as the experienced folk is how we run it.

The first sessions for the newbs are done with an experienced driver in the passenger seat giving tips. We structure this day, officially, as a driver training day. After this newbs can go out on their own the rest of the day but there will always be plenty of experienced track heads on hand to jump in and give you a few pointers at any time.

The attraction for the experienced track peeps is pure track time. We limit the day to 46 cars which means heaps of track time.

Now for the great news:

As a special treat for members we are making this a $70 track day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will still need a CAMS or Wakefield licence, more on those later, but the club is charging you only $70 to participate in the track day. Non member cost is $140. If you were feeling really sneaky you could become a member for $60 and then it's only $70 for the track day. $130 for track AND membership!

IMPORTANT - Follow these instructions please. Never in all my years doing this has everyone followed all the instructions so let's see if we can pull it off this time.

1. Make your deposit to:

Bank - NAB

Branch - Marrickville

Account name - Skylines Australia NSW

BSB - 082 356

Account number - 546 393 766

Please put your full name in the description.

2. Email me - bob at estc dot net dot au -

Cut and paste this into your email:

Full Name:

Forum Name:

Car Type:

Newb or not:

Most recent lap time if not newb (can be another track if necessary but make sure you mention which one):

Power atw if Newb:

Mobile no:

Email Address:

3. Post up here once you have done this.

Things to take note of:

1. You need either a CAMS L2S licence or a Wakefield/AASA Licence. The CAMS one costs $95 for this year and is used on most tracks around the country for a number of different kind of events (particularly the L2S open days that a number of us go to quite regularly) and must be purchased before the event (best to do it as soon as you have confirmation that you have a spot in this track day). You need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club, like SAU, to get one of these too. The Wakefield licence costs about $50 a year and is available on the day from the track.

Link to CAMS licence.

2. You will need a helmet, full length sleeves, full length pants and proper shoes.

3. You will get an emailed reply confirming your spot in the track day in the following week after you deposit.

4. This is limited to members only at this stage. If we need more numbers we will open it up but at full price.

5. Bleed your brakes before you come unless you have done it in the last 6 months. Check for at least 50% meat on your pads while you're at it.

6. Add an extra 1/2 to full litre of oil before you take it out on the track. Protect those bearings.

On the day.

Gates open officially at 8am although they usually appear to be open by about 7:30.

Sign on from 8am.

Scruitineering at the scruitineering shed from 8am until 8:40.

Drivers briefing and full track walk around at 8:40am - ALL DRIVERS MUST ATTEND.

First session which will be noobs 9am.

Remember there are a lot of people to get signed on so can I suggest that noobs get there as early as possible, sign on before doing anything else then get your car ready and scruitineered. Scruitineering will stop at 8:40 for the drivers briefing and start again for the stragglers at 9.

The scruitineering will be done at the shed behind the garages. Two lines, noobs to the left, the rest to the right. Bring your helmet and what you will be wearing on the track as all this needs to pass scruitineering too.

For anyone who has been thinking about taking their car onto a track, this is your opportunity. You dont get any better beginner track than Wakefield. Plenty of wide open run-off if you get a little too ambitious!

There will be a good mix of noobies and peeps with track time experience, so to quote a really annoying ad....

Be a doer not a gonna!! and get your buttocks into the hotseat and sign up!!!

:D

This is going to be a great day guys, as what Ando said before, if you wanna track your car and have zero experience, or wanna push your car to the limit and learn what your car is capable of, wakefield is a great track to do all that! I was there last year for the first time, had an awesome day :P

SOOOO get in quick! :thumbsup:

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
