So is that gospel then? have run a 11.92 previously, hoping to run quicker this time.

Do i need to hook up something or will it get through scrutineering ok?

I wouldnt be to worried about it. Normally at these events you self scrutineer your car anyway. I would just throw a blue triangle on the car just so they know where the islation switch is. I have run an 11.0 and i am meant to have a lot more safety gear in the car than i do have and they have never said anything to me about it. I would be more concerned about an ANDRA licence than the isolation switch. You do have an ANDRA licence dont you? They can probably be purchased on the day but its quite a bit more expensive doing it that way. If you plan on continuing to race the car it would be much cheaper to buy a yearly licence

Bank transfer done.

Emailed entry form.

We may finally have that race Brad (ido09s) :thumbsup:

Oh sweet. Will be good to catch up mate and have that long awaited race :nyaanyaa: How did your car go on E85? Did you make much more power? Ours went backwards according to the rollers hehe

Given the event is only a week away and there is only around 30 competitors.... is it going to go ahead or not? Unless the club makes up for the shortfall in costs i thought that WSID had a minimum of 40 cars, max of 50, for these private hires.

It's all in the first post;

4. Club Execs will be at the entry gate from 830am until 10am to hand out tickets. Get there before 10am to get a ticket, we wont stand there all day as we're there to enjoy the day aswel :)

IDO09S, Aaron (1320ft) has made himself available to be there on the day and can issue the ANDRA licences. I am sure he will post in here to answer any questions.

As usual, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a number of last-minute entries and SAU reached the minimum 40 entries. The track day is booked and it's going ahead...unless the track isn't ready :unsure:

Awesome about Aaron being there :rolleyes: Aaron is pretty fair with running the joint from an ANDRA perspective

I am with you on the track conditions..... have they had a street meet yet to get some rubber down? We might be the first to christen the new surface, which i wont be happy about to be honest :( The new management is doing an awesome job with the place though. Its come ahead in leaps and bounds since the departure of Jim Read

Oh sweet. Will be good to catch up mate and have that long awaited race :nyaanyaa: How did your car go on E85? Did you make much more power? Ours went backwards according to the rollers hehe

Getting tuned, will find out next week mate :whistling:

Hey fellas, I don't know if WSID will let us run our GoPro's but I have the three for the club up for rent. Is $35 paid on the day. That includes me making DVD copy of the video files and mailing them to you about a week after the event.

PM me for reserving one. First in, best dressed.

I ran mine inside the car and have had no problems.. I Dont think outside the car is allowed..

Entries will be updated shortly, we are closing in on the 40 entrants :)

I always have my gopro hanging from the sunroof inside the car and they havent pulled me up on it so far.

I would like to try it outside the car this time so lets see what they say.

Cars use them on the outside all the time so i doubt they will have any problems with it.

The new management seems to be a bit more laid back than the old management which is good to see as they were pretty hard assed on trivial things previously

If you like Jarrod just send me a PM with all of your details that should be on the form and ill do it for you.. (im thinking you are just using microsoft word viewer not the actual program so you cant edit documents)

This event is absolutely going forward, and it's going to be great :D

There are about 15 spots remaining until we are full, but WSID require us to cut off entries after this weekend.

So get in quickly!

Thats fine, Matt is being paid to cover the event and the agreement I made with him is that he's the only one who will get a Media pass on the day but around the pits or from the stands is no drama.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
