Hi,

Since we lost the old post, I thought I'd post up a reminder:

Mallala public track day

Sat 6th Dec

meet Sefton Plaza cnr Main North and Regency Roads 9am

Racing/Scrutineering starts at 10am (I think)

approx. 7 x 1 hour blocks, with 4 x 15 minute sessions (one of each class - car, bike, go-kart and open wheeler I believe) in each block. So you get to race 15 minutes in every hour (which u want to do to cool down anyhow).

Cost $70

Need:

- helmet

- long sleeves

- closed shoes

- non nylon-flammable clothing

- full licence - NO P-PLATERS - sorry :D

We will be cooking a basic bbq on the day and ask a gold coin donation or whatever you deem appropriate. I will bring a little barbie, utensils, sauce, bread, snags and chevaps. If you want anything else to cook on the bbq feel free to bring it.

I think that about covers it!! Come out even if you don't want to race (not that there's ANY excuse for not racing :D ).

Please post your intentions below so I can get a rough idea of food requirements (again - sorry).

For anybody that is going to the track day it is always a good idea to take a jerry can of spare fuel with you. As you will be surprised at how much fuel you go through when you are booting it all the time.

Have been to track days out there before and learnt the hard way, by going to the local service station, which only serves regular unleaded and had to get octane booster as well. It is just easier to take some premo up with you in a jerry can.

Just my 2 c.:burnout:

I'm not too sure mate .... people I know for sure (well last I heard anyhow):

Me

Mattr (as passenger)

32godzilla

9krpm

Miss33/Boostd (as spectators)

grepin ?

a few of my mates (as spectators)

JSpec (John from PSI in his S15)

Matt whatsisname - sorry bud :cheers:

I hope John is coming out for a few laps - but I believe the engine is going in Boost6 late this week - so may be impossible.

I'm not really fussed if not many people come - less traffic on the track for us :wassup:

oh, and all the lurkers out there - post if you're coming!!! I need to know food numbers! :blast:

At the moment my car is up on a hoist with it's bell housing and clutch removed. It's a long story, but basically the 2nd hand OS twin plate I got from D1 is pull type and I need push type (or vice versa, I can't remember - it's way too confusing).

Anyway, I spoke to James and he said you can modify the bellhousing by drilling and tapping two holes and getting a housing with clutch fork off the other style clutch and bolting it in...... Well, I went all over Adelaide and finally got one from Tilbrook's, went up to the mechanic doing the job and it ending up being exactly the f**king same as the one already in my car!! :rofl: (btw nothing against Tilbrook's, they were really helpful, it was just unfortunate).

So anyway, before I bore you to death my car isn't going to be ready for possibly ages... and I'm way pis?ed off. Oh, and my exhaust as some of you will remember had seen better days and needs replacing - just another thing.

So have fun everyone, I'll see you out there next time.

P.S. Saw John's DRIFT 6 at Tilbrook's, dog box apparently arrived today, can't wait to see on the road! :D

damn it Craig .... ah well

It's ok Paul, I bought a helmet today (am sick of borrowing/hiring all the time) - thanks anyhow!

So it looks like it's only Dan (9krpm Supercharged S2000) and I running. Anyone else?

If there's only gonna be this many people I might not bother with the bbq. Anyone wanna make picnic baskets?

I think the finish time is supposed to be 5pm. Not sure what time the street meet drags start, but the pro car test and tune starts at AIR at 10am (with public street meet to be after that).

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
