Now thats just getting too logical Alex :D I think that would just lead to confusion champ, the simpler things are, the easier it is for all parties, the smoother it will run.

*lol* Sorry mate. Twas just a suggestion. I knew it would seem silly though. haha. ;)

Nah Alex, it is a great idea in a perfect world!! No need to be sorry it makes perfect sense, but could just end up a bit of a 'shemozzle' with people trying to remember what group is out, are they next, who was next etc etc.

With simple 5,4,3,2,1, you can easily keep track of when your group is due up! We will be announcing groups to the marshalling area to keep everyone in the 'loop'!!

spectators are free!

Spectators if they feel up to it can also pay $20 and go out with people that will let them in their cars.

Obviously all passengers need a helmet and ankle to wrist and neck clothing.

ITs all good. We actually did the 5 - 4 - 2 - 1 - 3 setup for the last Evo Oz trackday. ;)

Worked pritty good.

wow all this talk of being fast etcand having no power and heaps of power! ARGH!

who cares!!! just get out there and have fun!!

if you want to compare your lap times do a supersprint and see how you go

this is a fun day :)

Its not a matter of lap time, its still fun just seeing different cars/drivers compare in the corners/straights

SpoonDC5 was expressing his concern about him not having much power in the fastest group in a SAU track day, I was just saying he won't be the only one.

On another note, I am so pumped about this because I went around wakefield in a R35 GTR on wednesday, driven by Warren Luff. Bloody effin Crazy car, 1:05 he managed. Need to drive on track after this

Thanks for helping out with instructing!

I may have missed something, but you're in group 2, and in accordance with your time so not sure why you feel 'out of place'. I can certainly review on the day if you truley are 'lapping' the rest of your group.

Instructing was more for my GF :-)

Yes missed last lap time was with 595SS tyres , and post related to "IF" I started getting substantially better times.

Installed my rollcage in the car yesterday... question i have.. can i attach my fire extinguisher to one of the rollbars , will that pass the inspection.

I was speaking to a few guys that race and build cages... They say it can be a bad idea... What happens IF it comes loose? It's now in a spot that is easier for it to become a huge projectile...

picking up a new set of RSRs tonight, fitting them tomorrow :) . then just the check over followed by the check over and then im good to go.

then another check over...

****QUICK NOTE TO GROUP 5 ENTRANTS/CARS****

****QUICK NOTE TO GROUP 5 ENTRANTS/CARS****

****QUICK NOTE TO GROUP 5 ENTRANTS/CARS****

As you will be the first group out on the track, after your car has been scruitineered, can you please park in the marshalling area BEFORE the drivers briefing!

This way, as soon as the breifing is over, we can get you guys out on the track for that long awaited blood bubbling rush!!!

As soon as Group 5 are out on the track we will get Group 4 cars up to marshalling area, then 3 and so on and so on.....

We will have a PA system on the day to make things easier, so please PLEASE keep an idea of when you are due up and listen out for your group being called up!

If you miss your group, sorry but ke sera sera!!!

    • 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"
