Pfft just go lizzeh!

Just wondering if we are allowed passengers? I doubt it but I thought id ask..

I might go ahead and do this with a mate for shits and giggles.. I assume this is going to be busy as hell?

definitely no passengers, mate

I haven't been to one of these days in a few years... but I imagine they'd still be pretty busy! they're quite good in terms of the number of cars on the track at any one time.

If I were you, I'd go turn up about lunchtime as a fair few people either break down or pack up before the end of the day!

unfortunately, I've been taking a little too much time off work lately to take another day!! :)

nah, no timing... it's just an open day like wakie

but i believe they're a bit better about limiting the number of cars on the track at any one time. I don't even know anyone who's done one of these in the last year to be able to judge. I'll ask them when I call up to confirm the day if you like.

I did one last month and looking to get out to this one also, so have listed some points below

1) No passengers allowed

2) no timing but can setup your own timing equipment

3) the 28th May has three sessions: cars, ls2, bikes. LS2 (most of us) start at about 9:20am and sessions are for 20 mins.

4) Lunch break for an hour somewhere between 12:00 - 1:30pm

5) costs as mentioned by Liz. Can get a garage for an extra $25

6) gets pretty busy but this one might be quiet seeing it's straight after Superlap, but who knows?

7) I haven't seen a car limit per session yet. There was almost 40 cars in one LS2 session last time I was there!!

8) Some drivers are aggressive (yes even in LS2) so be careful.

Checkout the link recorded by someone on NS forum. The white s13 with the black rear wing at the start of the clip is mine!!!!

nah you'll have to Buy your own, you cant hire their's as they use dorian timers which means they need to hire staff for timing in the control tower! 9i.e. similar to a state round etc)

ebay has a few for sale, cheaper ones like the motorbike lap timers work well too!

I wont make it as I doubt my car will be ready :cool:

Being that im a contractor and cant just 'take a sickie' the above is what worries me most as I dont want to lose a days pay just to find im held up or watching my mirrors the entire day because 30 other idiots are on the track.

yeah, fair enough... It does tend to get a lot quieter after lunch though as most ppl tend to do the morning sessions and then start packing up to leave around lunch time

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
