Sau Nsw Oran Park South Track Driver Training Day


Recommended Posts

Well everybody It's OFFICAL.

We are having one last run on this most fantastic track,,,if you think oh,,,it's only the short track,,,think again,,,turn one and the setting up of 2 and 3 will put a massive smile on your dial when you get it right.

Please have a good read of the Sup Regs,,,they will tell you almost everything you need to know. Wondering why I did it this way with a pdf file,,,easy. This is how it's done when you start racing and I'm sort of hoping SAU will find a young driver that can go on to bigger and better things.

Trackwise are running the day,,,so that means we have Garry Baxter,,,he's currently a front running V8 ute driver and his team of professonal driver trainers will be in attendance. While we have some great drivers within our ranks,,,we are actually paying these guys,,,so work them HARD. Someone should have them in their car every session ALL day. Thats not to say you don't have the SAU boys,,our ranks include successful circuit racers/supersprinters/hillclimbers/maybe even a DA drifter and some of us that have been doing this stuff for years.

This day is for everybody,,,from the most track hardy to girls or guys that just want to have some fun on a race track.

Please up-load these and if you have any questions,,,post them or PM me.

See that, everyone? Read it, then read it again for maximum impact!

This will be an awesome day, and well worth the $200 even if there weren't professionals on hand to provide training, so this is a BARGAIN!

Count me in please!

In fo sure! With or without the nugget..... maybe good excuse to throw the racing slicks on if they dont sell ;) If not, usual hand up for helping and showing nuggetesq driver habits :(

no no no, ive already targeted the blue nugget.......it has to be there or ill get lost.

:P Im sure you will be right champ... but will happily give you a blue nugget to chase :thumbsup:

If anybody is concerned about noise,,,It's simple,,,don't have a screamer pointing out of your sill panel,,,if indeed you run a screamer have it pointing down which I would expect everyone does anyway. Stuart's V8 Skyline is no way going to pop any Db meter,,,not in a million years,,If in fact there will be one.

Remember this day is a Sunday with a public holiday on the Monday making everybodies life easier.

I took the weekend off but Dentist this morning ate my track money,

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
