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!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
