stick it on the front lawn tell the neighbours to eat a dick

you probably shoul dnot listen to me as im currently washing a car just im jocks while the neighbour auctions his house accross the road

Everyday I'm just little bit more grateful I don't live near you.

If a company is willing to assist in fund raising, you should take it.

I reckon a dyno day where anyone from SAU can dyno tune their car for like... $40, $20 goes to the company, $20 goes to the pot.

Have a sausage sizzle on the day. Profits go to the pot.

Collate pot.

Hand over opot.

Win at life.

Idealistic thinking etc.

I agree with the whole "track days isn't racing" thing... well.. they shouldn't be. I haven't been to a track day yet and this is making me a little worried about taking my car onto a track.

I can't hardly afford my car as it is... but I still want track time.

It would be an effort and a half to get some sort of system in place to fund prangs on track days, though. And it'd require a lot of debating by whoever manages CAMs to get track days and race days separated.

Hey mate,

I totally understand where you're coming from. I've always wanted to do track days, and this thread sure isn't going to stop me. It has made me think though, maybe it's worth buying a cheap old mx5 or something and making it a track car, rather than driving my pride and joy around. I say that though, then think that this is the first time it's ever happened, so the odds are stacked way in the favour of being safe.

What is much much much much MUCH more likely to happen is some form of mechanical failure. Think of the millions of things that can go wrong, track is waiting to bring them to the surface. In terms of probability, that doesn't compare to the few people around you on the track.

If you're really worried, buy a dedicated, no waste racing machine. I seem to remember hearing of a kart for sale...

(sorry sau, couldn't help it)

anymore derogatory comments and finger pointing etc will be met with warnings and banning should they continue..

Thunder or Greg if you will enough is enough, everyone has moved on and so should you. Posting irrelevant things trying to prove a point is off topic and well if im honest bloody annoying so just stop. If you feel unfairly portrayed take it up with a moderator and get it sorted instead of looking like an idiot.

To the rest of SAU remember what this thread is about.. Eric is sharing his story and journey from start to finish so if you absolutely have to be a keyboard warrior and say something that could be offensive or derogatory to a person or buisness do it via PM and not publically those are the rules..

Anyone reading this and having second thoughts about doing trackdays etc I emplore you to re-think it. SAU:NSW has and always will put safety first at everyone of our events, If you are still unsure come and watch one of our events and judge it for yourself..

Everyone,

This thread has run its course.

What happened was an accident, the first at one of our days out of about 9 years running them and the first one the Wakefield staff have ever seen at a club trackday.

This was not a raceday, so any references to incidents on race days is silly. Thunder/Greg im looking at you here.

We, ths club execs, do everything possible to make these days as safe as possible and as enjoyable and rewarding to participate in as humanly possible.

As far as myself and the other execs are concerned to have one incident in so many years of running these days we are happy that the safety record is so good but on the other hand we are still working very hard to make sure we evaluate the day, make changes as we see fit and continue running these days. We know most of the people there on the day, and we care. Simple. We arent a business doing this to make money, we do this for the enjoyment of members and that will always be the case. If anyone has any realistic suggestions, feel free to pass them on, or better yet come along and help run the day.

With that said, we are working to release the entry forms for the next Wakefield day and the next Texi day aswel, so like always, come along and have a go, we dont bite and as so many people have said in this thread, SAUNSW club events are fun, safe and affordable.

This thread will now be locked. Not because anyone has anything to hide, but because everything that needs to be said has been, anything from here on in is just arguments for the sake of arguments.

Cheers

-Steve

SAUNSW President.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
