When - 2001/2002?!?!

Where - Eastern Creek

With who - Motoconcept gang... fatz, marjanal, bonkers etc...

Any pre-setup involved - none

Favourite memory of the day - using blinkers when cornering

Things you learnt; about your car, yourself or the track - Power is nothing, balls is everything.

fark even toulia is alive in this thread!

I'm pretty sure my first track day was with Honda Car Club at Wakie in 2001....their (ex-)famous GOHCCDTD. Pretty sure I met Pete there he was the only other skyline guy there.

Team trackday were great days....bloody hell they used to be cheap before insurance went crazy...and no problems with passengers back then either.

Bottom line is....even stock, skylines are one of *the* best track cars around. And there is not much more fun in life than doing laps of a race track.

If you haven't given it a go, have a chat to some of the people in here, and come along some time. It looks pretty frightening from the outside, but give it a go....you will love it.

I'm still around. Just in ninja mode!

I'm hankering for some track action but no car anymore. Hopefully I'll be on 2 wheels in 2010 and get my track day fix.

Warning to anyone thinking about going to the track. It's addictive. The only cure for it is more track days.

I have always been so apprehensive of taking the plunge into track days because of fear of being seen as a "novice" or "poorly skilled" but I can see by reading this thread that everybody is nervous and not exactly sure of what to do thier first track day.

I hope all the "Old Timers" in the track days dont mind teaching us noobs the ways of the force.

so true... all I can say is give it a go

I made the mistake of never trying it out when I had my Gt-t for that exact reason. it certainly would've been more suited to track work than my current car

I had a fantastic time at Oran Park and glad I had the opportunity to run before it closed, everybody was helpful in providing tips and pointers (like NOT leaving yor handbrake on after a run, I'm such a noob :ermm: )

I even snuck a session in with group 4 to make me feel better, was stuck in the 'experienced' group even though it was my first trackday :rant:

so to anyone who is holding back but always wanted to do a trackday, all I can say harden the F&ck up and do it!

there was a mazda 3 even giving it a shot good on 'em!

First time at the SAU OP track day, was awesome. Hell I'm a poor hobo and I still went, had to borrow a helmet at the inconvenience of a fellow skyline-r but was awesome. Now to get a helmet and prepare for the next one!

It's not exactly ideal to jump onto the track while it's wet, first corner I almost lost it on the outlap behind the ute and couldn't catch up to it because I was too scared to put my car into a wall. But it's still a lot of fun and pushes you as a driver (especially if you're in a slow car like my R31).

Don't be afraid, the track is a hell of a lot safer than the road and you can really push your car to it's limit with no worries of police or other public (apart from other cars on the track).

    • 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  
    • 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.
