Thursday 23rd July, Oran Park Gp Circuit, That's This Thursday!


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

With Oran Park closing very very soon it is time to take advantage of the track while it is still there.

They run open practice days on all the 3 layouts of the track, this Thursday (23-07-09) is going be a GP layout.

What you need.

CAMS level 2 Speed licence. You can join Skylines Australia NSW and buy a licence which will last you approximately $150 total. This last for a whole year and gives you access to these days at both Oran Park and Eastern Creek and Wakefield.

A working car, with no oil leaks and loose parts etc.

A Helmet and long cotton clothing.

Fuel, some lubes and your toolbox. Food is not available at the track, so bring some or take a trip into Narrellen.

Camera (There will be some pretty cool race cars out at the track.)

Probably something else I forgot.

For More info contact Oran Park. www.oranpark.com.au

See you there,

Dan.

Ryan, I won't know till probably the start of each month, but I'll try to let everybody know ASAP.

Thanks mate, if you get a chance this week shoot me through some pics :)

I still have not heard back from BBM?

I just called and he said "Dan who?"

LOL not really mate all good thanks for that waiting for stock 2-4 weeks away.

Comon people this is a super track and will be one of the last times you can drive OP GP. I wish i was going to be there. :-(

Lol, I'm looking for pictures later tonight hopefully... see how busy I get between now and then, followed by how buggered I am as a result.

I'm going either way... OP GP Rocks out!

Mate these day's are the best kept secret... I could have lapped continuously from 9:30am to 4:30pm if the car could have handled it, only once was there the maximum of 4 cars out there. Mostly there was only 2 cars on track.

Spewin Ports... you missed a good day... probably only 8 cars there... HEAPS of track time... I was buggered by 1:30.

Not happy, took the dude 20 minutes to fix under warranty, but had to wait till he arrived :P .........8 cars all day aaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!! :blush:

I'm gonna start a "Late Notice Track day" thread and see if we can generate some interest around town and for the next ones. I'll post a link in here when I get it going...

Man I had some fun... Slick tyres are very awesome fun. :P

Controlling 700rwkw... Stuuuuupidly fun... and breaking for turn 1 into turn 2 at around 255km/h SCARY! :blush:

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
