did you pay on their website as per recommened or just write on entry form?

He got back to me reasonably quickly yesterday afternoon so maybe give it a bit longer. If you dont get anywhere send me a PM.

is there a list of confirmed entrants, and a blue sticker on a blue car, will that work or do i have to put another colour under it so it can be seen

No passengers allowed

And mark the outline of the triangle with some black electrical tape so it stands out

I am getting updates on a weekly basis from the WRX club regarding entrant numbers.

At the moment there are a few skylines but there is plenty of room for more. There's a bunch of WRX's and Evo's to show up so hopefully we see more Nissan entries soon.

is there a comfired entry list somewhere, i still haven't been sent anything saying my entry is comfirmed

Hey Michael I'm going to have to hand the "road car" championship to you (OK you would have needed to come 3rd or 4th in each round for me to close the gap). Seeing as the person caculating the scores has stuffed it up yet again for the 2nd round, who knows where the real points should be allocated. If the EVO comes close, just point out to them they allocated my 1:09.3770 time to the EVO in the R3 points, 2nd tack day. Good luck and do SAU proud.

Shame, I was really looking forward to our battle with 50kw more and coilover upgrades from our last meet. Unfortunatly just realised the new date is my first wedding anniversary and is too close to the due date for first bub, to travel more then 1hr away from the ACT.

Dam renew for changing the date. Bring on SAU December track day.

Thank you, was looking forward to having you chase me and make me drive better, i have already pointed that mistake out in the results thread on the other page.

i've fixed the leak between the rear manifold and turbo and fitted a set of CES comp series dump pipes and have a set of cusco sway bars on order, so this would have been a good day of close compertion

cangrates on anniversary and good luck with the bub, i had twin girls 4 weeks ago and was debating attending, but someone has to carry the SAU and the GTR banners and the more that enter the better and the fact i live 10mins from EC doesn't hurt

is there a comfired entry list somewhere, i still haven't been sent anything saying my entry is comfirmed

Send me a PM with your full name and I'll let you know if its on the list I have. I wont put up the list at the moment since my copy would be a few days out of date but anyone wanting confirmation can PM me.

I'll get the point mix up sorted out.

Sorry to hear you cant make it a20089 - it was good talking to you at the previous rounds. Hope everything goes well with the birth and that we'll see the family at the track another time.

Likewise Chris.

Matt 100 entrants, 25 of each make, unless that changed.

That's right. maximum 100 entrants. Likely numbers will be somewhere between 80 and 100, looking for around 20-25 per manufacturer.

That might sound like a lot but it's a bigger track than wakefield and with the cost of EC you need a fair few entrants. I dont think anyone will go home unhappy with the amount of track time they get.

Im just waiting on getting my car back before I commit funds at this stage, BUT, I picked up 2 x KUMHO V700 235/40 17 from FSPORT which was my prize from the last track day, ( I think it was for spilling the most oil........sorry)

They should fit nice on the front of the boat

Im super happy.

Thankyou KUMHO and John from FSPORT.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
