Tech night explaining entry level motorsport covering things like;

-Different catagories

-Explain the rules and regs for different catagories

-Car choices

-Basic modifications to compete

Prob a few other things that could be discussed but i think that would be a good start.

wow thats such a good idea, i bet duncan wish he thought of it. :D

and as for the membership, i'm keen but it will have to wait till this drama with my lude is over. :)

oh man I am being stitched up good tonight!

Seriously though, intro to racing night with a couple of sample cars to pore over, and a quick overview of different categories and realistic budgets would make good night.

How about a theory based circuit night?

Something where people can ask a professional driver or two or three about racing lines, car control, setup advise etc etc.

You could run one before the eastern creek day so people can get some theory advise before heading out to the track....

Boz was looking at running one for trackschool, could easily be converted to a skyline specfic thing too.

Can you imagine it?

If you turn left and it goes rattle rattle your bearings are gone.

Turn right and the oil pump makes this noise "crack pop pop bleh"

hehe

Let me know the date :)

Any questions or main topics anyone wants us to focus on?

IMO A big point should be that simply whacking in some forged slugs and rods won't make an engine bullet proof.

and making a point that the machine work/clearences is 99% of what makes an engine survive and not those $$$11ty HKS pistons

basic maintenance?

Brake pad change and bleed

Coolant flush

Plugs change

Fuel filter change

Fuel pump change

Brake master cylinder change

yep they're pretty basic but i think a night which covers common consumeables for skylines now that they're getting a bit long on the tooth would be great. Especially for some first time owners??

This get's a big +1 from me. It may be basic stuff to a lot of people on here but for some us it would be a great starting point. One of the reasons I joined was to give me access to people and information that I just don't have in my normal circle of friends ( to many inner city tree hugging hippies )

I will be attending every Tech night I can but I'd like to get my head around the basic stuff first. I'm reading as much I can but you can't beat practical teaching.

I don't suppose there's any chance they can be filmed?

*Crosses fingers*

if they are please make em available to interstate members action-smiley-069.gif - id gladly pay for recordings of these :)

I would actually die for something like this to happen in perth, the only way I can learn about this is for me to buy a cheaper car to work on and just jump right in and hope for the best confused.gif i tried a short weekend tafe course on basic car maintenance but it was useless really.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
