The last fun day for the year will be held on the 13th of December, a Sunday, so for anyone looking for some very cheap track time put this on your calendar.

This is an 80% circuit event (drive too hard or recklessly and you will be black flagged). You will be cutting laps of the track and having fun and remember this is not a race and people driving as such will be black flagged - I know from experience 0_0

I'll be there in the SlowVia for some fun and to give the missus a bit of track time, who else is going?

For those who've never been before I'll throw up a few quick points.

- There is no timing

- There are quite a few cars on the track at any one time

- There will DEFINITELY be some idiots with no idea about driving on or off the track attending this event

- There will be passenger sessions in which a roll cage is not required (I have confirmed this with Winton)

- Sessions are around 30mins and alternate between driver only and passengers

- Learners/Kids get a session over lunch where they can circulate behind a safety car

- It's crazy cheap at around $30 and there are no race licensing requirements.

- Your car will have to pass scrutineering, bringing a bomb for fun will not impress officials.

That covers some of the common questions, you can hit the FAQ's at the Winton site HERE

Hope to see you all there.

Kez... fastest reply in the west!

You didn't answer my FB query about how you did it and what it actually was etc.

Yeah, my mate who f**ked the car is on FB. Part of the deals was "I pay for it, you never mention it again". Think he's embarrassed.

The smoke coming from the hood was most definitely the clutch, what was once a nice bright pink clutch no less than 4 weeks before this incident is now pretty much black. Huge chunks of the clutch pad had been removed and it was pretty much gone.

First and second gear were a mess of mashed metal and the whole thing had been completely cooked. Dunno what temperature this gearbox reached, but they mechanic claimed they were pulling out masses of "fluff" from the clutch pad.

Mechanics theory: my mate may have been slamming the car into gear and not giving the syncos a chance to work.

It's difficult to know, because my mate claims he did nothing at all. Yet he offered straight off the bat to pay for everything, which leads me to suspect he feels guilty about something. Only thing certain is that in the 15-20min he had the car he royally f**ked it.

Wow, super gay, that's some "mate" you have there =\ At least he's willing to pay the damages.

I should be there. Gotta atleast make one day this year. I wonder if i can make it all the way to the venue before breaking something this time?

lol Go for it! Make sure you come say hey btw.

hmmm thinking about it...never been to winton

Do it!

god damn - this is really tempting me!!!!! i want to take my car to the track again!

See above

i'll be skiing up that way over that weekend so i might come and do a few laps, weather permitting.

Sif choose skiing over Motorsport... :P

How long is a piece of string? lol

Seriously though I can't answer that question and neither can Winton as you can pretty much turn up on the day and have a go.

To be honest though, these fun days are the busiest Winton track days of the year as they do not require racing licenses and are open to the general public.

As I mentioned above, there will definitely be plenty of people and some of those will not be as aware as others when on the track as it can be a daunting experience especially for first timers.

As with any form of motorsport there are risks to yourself and the car and you will be hard up to get any insurance to cover you while on the track so keep that in mind.

Now, having said all that... You can do a lot to avoid any incidents by driving safely, being alert and treating every other car on the track like it's loaded with plastic explosives, works for me :D

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
