Circuit Club Wakefield Park On Australia Day Jan 26th


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

went to the last meeting just before xmas and it was a very enjoyable day. The fact i was the only one of 2 skylines there prompts me to post this email i

received from circuit club. Im new to the track scene and could not find much info on or about whether SAU organises any events of this nature.

i have just recently got back into a GTR and i am loving the adrenalin associated with this type of racing. Hope to see you guys out there

Cheers

Steve

I was going to attend the day just before Xmas until I found out it had over 70 cars...

That was actually a trial format which had 6 groups. I dont think there would have been 70 cars that day, 50 at most - plenty of track time that day. :woot:

After speaking to Jane, they will be going back to the old format of 4 groups capped at 60 cars. First in best dressed! :D

the last one was pretty awesome, even though there were more groups, there was heaps of tracktime!

I wont make this one, need to finish the car first, but I want to be back out for the following one.

Also, there was more like 5 skylines there last time, its just yours was the only really worth watching :)

Stu,

You should get your dinosky AASA log booked and do MRA at wakefield too :P

I wont be at c/club as I'll hopefully be down a week later with MRA

Will try and make it!

The Christmas trackday was fun but had to leave early as rear brake pads were shot.

My tires got chewed up pretty badly too for some reason. I have done a few trackdays at Wakefiled and i never got chunks torn out of my tire as badly as I did on that day..

is this event noob friendly???

im keen to do a few track days this year but have very little track experience

It will be my brother in laws first time at the track as well :P he is also from the hills,

so you are not alone! You will be basically put in the slowest group for the day. (make sure

you get there early to listen in on the drivers brief to learn about the rules)

I have just finished putting his gtr together - hoping for 300awkw - cant wait to see

him pilot this for the first time :)

Well my trailer is loaded, just gotta throw some tools + fuel in the back of the ute and im ready to go.

Hoping for 1:14's or better :P

4

Will be good to catch up with you cheif!

will load the trailer tomoz :O

the less ppl = the more track time,

both fingers crossed for good weather!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
