Hey guys I definately want to come to this track day but my s13 is currently getting tuned and so if all goes well I'll rock up and pay cash on the day. Is that ok?

Duncan has confirmed that payments on the day are being accepted so you should be fine ;)

all aboard!!!!!! HMAS Cassbo / Hello Kitty mobile!!!

A couple of weeks ago at OP i moved asside to let Matt through, and when he passed, I was pi$$ing myself so much after seeing kitty swinging on the back that i locked up and nearly went off teh track. At the same time Matt passes just before a corner and is to busy waving hello so he ends up with with his right wheels on the ripple strip on a left hand turn. Was a hilarious 10 secs.

kids these days, just dont understand how serious racing is.......... :thumbsup:

Those hello kitty things are dead set hilarious, they crack me up everytime i see them!!!!

:)

When i say that, like usual i mean be there and help entrants like the rest of the execs who put in hours of work in a normally thankless job :O

Im more than happy to get the GTR out in colder weather and get on track with/against you if you want :)

Looks like the weather might be "interesting" on Sunday. Given i just got slicks, i may not be able to run.

Question: what is the latest time we can present for scruitineering?

thx.

haha. im scared too but i man up

I don't know about the garages Ben,,,suppose we will find out on the day. You would think after hiring their track we would get garages but I think I'm dreaming.

What sort of weather forecast are you anticipating by the way?. I'm not really fussed either way,,,I could do with some wet practice. Oh shit Ben I just thought of something,,,do you have tail lights?,,,if it pisses down and you don't,,,they may not let you out.

Neil.

I think the weather will be the same as the skidpan at quakers hill, damp in the morning and threatening to rain all day with just a tiny shower now n then (but without the wind) but in all honesty I have no idea :)

Yes have had tail lights for the past 2 events :)

I'm assuming like last time that garages are not available for free?

Give the garages a shot Ben when you get there. At the Autosports day a few weeks back, I got there and found Eugen all set up in one. He said he tried it and it was open, we found another 7 or 8 also open and they were all being used and no said anything.

Worth a shot. If they get the sh!ts, reverse out :)

Duncan we really need you there by 8.30 at latest....all the scruits are volunteers and we want to get it sorted by 9am so we can all enjoy ourselves.

I was going to run slicks too but I'll just bring some semis as well in case the weather changes.

    • 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.
