Hi

The Calder date I am now reasonably sure of (well as sure as anything held there)

I am sort of debating if it should be twilight again or not.

There are advantages in twilight ..cheaper , great experience.

There are disadvantages .. track hire is for 6 hrs not 9.

I am running a vote on our forums ... but what do you lot think.

It was a great spectacle last year. It is something you don't get to do that often. The venue is close to melbourne, friends and family

can come along. That out weighs the session or two you may miss for the event.

You had a few prangs last year, that slowed the event down. I don't see why you couldn't get through the groups quicker without

that issue. Knowing what you do now, parking (lack of), sign-in (30deg, line out the door) should be much better.

Our main problem this year was that a V8Ride day .. overflowed into our time. So we had location problems etc etc etc.

Finally got my car registered, so I'm looking to do some track work this year. Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find out some more info on the SAU days, such as:

1) How much the events cost?

2) How I put my name down?

3) What the format of the day is (e.g. open pit, sessions etc.)?

4) Are there any non-competitive days?

5) Do I need a CAMS licence on top of my SAU membership? (and which one?)

I've done a fair amount of searching, but can't seem to find the answers to these questions.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave...couple of answers to your q's:

1. They vary depending on the circuit (some more $$$ than others) - expect to pay between $100 (haunted hills) to around $250 (phillip island).

2. A few weeks before the event the supp regs and entry forms are released....simply fill in and fax off. There is no pressure to do rounds - you do as many as you are willing to do. As long as you are a current SAUvic member and do at least one round you will be part of the championship.

3. Events are generally done on a session basis - based on experience/past lap time you will be placed in a group. They then cycle through the groups until closing time.

4. All the days are as competative as you want them to be - do not feel under pressure to set the world on fire at your first couple of events - just go out there and have some fun.

5. Yes you will require a CAMS L2S licence. They will cost around the $100 mark for a year. Don't have a link handy but all the info is on the CAMS website.

Cheers

Ant.

2. you can also use the online entry forms, http://www.wrx.com.au/motorsport.html

The CAMS website is a little bit of a maze, so this is what you want.

If you haven't been to the circuit before, just put down that you haven't been there. They will group you accordingly.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
