The issue with that is that SD have set pricing and it makes it hard for a club like SAUNSW to make it work.

If only they were like any other venue and just had a hire price and thats it, we could allocate how many entrants, then it would be fine, but as it stands, the clubs events are not full enough most of the time to put any money back into the account so it's hard to justify booking a venue that doesnt sell out

Its good to see the government looking after us, NOT.

When the boat has its bits back in it Ill do a bit of research on the weather and try to work out a dry spell, Ill post up a day that weather wise should be fine a month or so in advance and see if anyone else is keen.

Im interested to see if changing tyres and reducing some rear camber can get me in the 11s

Steve, I agree re: the way that SD has its track hire set up. However, hopefully this will change in the future (as they are losing money), particularly with the new management. They just have to look across the road and see how full the track days are at EC.

Levinboy & mlr, that was my plan: have one lane dedicated to SAU:NSW and nominate one Wednesday night street meet (in advance with pre-bookings). This would be much more feasible idea and the club won't have to outlay a massive amount of money. I will see what can be done with this.

I spoke with them directly and they said they weren't going to make any changes to the structure of their club day offering. Like it or not, we have little say and minimal influence for change.

To rent a lane you have to pre-book 20 spots at the normal $50 rate (from memory). And then they put you in the "short lane" so I assume they still have all the lanes open but just rotate through the grid like normal.

We can poll for interest in doing this but might just be easier to agree a date and show up ad-hoc since you really don't gain all that much on a normal Wed night.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
