I have organized to have the day off work, so i am able to attend.

If anyone needs to buy a helmet - like i do, you can get them here.

Niwce, cheers for that Abe. Too bad if you get the wrong size and its too small or something lol

just a thought.

Someone who has been to a private day at Mallala before, would you mind posting up some basics on the Scrutineering side of things?

ie:

what type of helmet is required?

does the car need to have a fire extinguisher fitted?

are batteries in the cabin allowed?

are screamer pipes allowed?

are externally mounted cameras allowed?

does the glass on the car have to be taped up?

etc.

Cheers.

Someone who has been to a private day at Mallala before, would you mind posting up some basics on the Scrutineering side of things?

ie:

what type of helmet is required? They didn't check but IIRC it must be either ADR or CAMS approved.

does the car need to have a fire extinguisher fitted? No.

are batteries in the cabin allowed? Don't know but they didn't scrutinise the cars at all.

are screamer pipes allowed? See above.

are externally mounted cameras allowed? Yes.

does the glass on the car have to be taped up? No.

etc.

Cheers.

What other questions do you have?

just a thought.

what type of helmet is required? If it's AS approved then yes

does the car need to have a fire extinguisher fitted? No

are batteries in the cabin allowed? If the battery is fixed, it's fine

are screamer pipes allowed? Yes

are externally mounted cameras allowed? Yes

does the glass on the car have to be taped up? No

1. "Non Competition drivers need a Helmet with AS1698 APPROVAL by CAMS, clothing (non synthetic) with full length sleeves and leg coverage. " these helmets have the four tick logo that says aus approved i think

2. No

3. nothing in cabin not secured

4."Cars will not be scrutineered, but on your entry form you will sign-off to say that your car is safe and suitable for practice." So yes they are allowed

5. Dont know bout external cameras

6. No

Hope that helps :banana:

Just under a month to get those deposits in people and just over 2 months to go for the day. Start prepping your cars and make sure you clear the day off with work first. Don't want to leave that till the last minute

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
