G'day

The old man and I are taking the skylines to another tuning day this Saturday 3 September. There is also a hill climb at jacks hill the same day.

Does anyone have there CAMS license and WASCC membership and want to bring their cars out? Anyone who doesn't but want to come out for a look anyway are most welcome. There's no spectator entry fees and there is a lunch canteen.

9am - 4pm

Would be a great opportunity to meet and greet.

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi Brendan, Normally I'd be keen, but still waiting to get my car finished. Will definately be out there as soon as I can. WASCC Tuning days are one of the best value for money events around :thumbsup:

Don't forget to check out here for other events :thumbsup:

Yeah nothing else compares for me at this point in time.

Any idea when your car will be finished?

I'll be at the next one on the following Friday as well.

So not for everyday driving then :P

any word on when they are selling it at the pump here? last i heard someone was trying to manafacture it here a couple of years back but it fell thru...

Nope, only for the true motorsport enthusiast :thumbsup:

None of the petrol companies have any plans to bring it over, not only due to legal restrictions, but also due to not being able to fully supply the eastern states markets.

I would be keen to do some laps of Barbagallo!

I am part of the speed event series that are running the Jacks Hill- hillclimb, but its a long way for me to travel for only 4min of racing!!

I have cams L2S lisence and a car thats ready to go.

Can somebody tell me if this is going ahead and costs??

I dont have WASCC membership.. yet.. depending what this is worth- I may join up

That's why WASCC Tuning days are awesome, heaps of track time, so really good bang for your buck. They tend to alternate tin-tops and open-wheelers in 20-30min sessions. With your WASCC Membership you get a free Tuning Day (Normal cost about $75), so helps offset the cost.

WASCC Membership is annual, but membership is now being charged on a pro-rata basis, so you only pay a reduced amount till the end of the year :)

not wanting to put a dampner on this but, Tuning Days aren't really an event, there is no timing, racing, fastest, slowest, winners, losers etc you just get access to the track to do laps, which after a couple of times can get a bit boring, sure you can pump out some laps,to get familiar with the track and tune your setup. I find the Nolimits nights a bit more exciting with live timing and a leader board, you can see if you are actually getting quicker, and where you stand.. just my 2c

I see what you're saying, and agree totally that it's not an event, however the only way to improve as a driver is by doing lap after lap etc. Lap times are improtant too, and grabbing a Performance Box, which can provide lap times and race lines are an excellent investment for the racing enthusiast.

I've done lots of No Limits events, and certainly would recommend them to anyone getting into Motorsport :thumbsup:, but for me time on the track is more important, so tuning days are great value for money :D

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
