The Speel

REX.NET Track day is Thursday May 6th 2004

probably the most fun you'll have in your car yet while learning a heap about your car, your driving and the limits of both put together in a safe environment and controlled environment.

no need to think that you aren't fast enough, or your car is not moded enough, the first time I went there was a stock Gemini and a stock Toyota Corolla from a car rental company racing around. we all had our first time, and had loads of fun in doing so.

I am booking the Track for REX.NET and friends for a private track day for us only to give you a feel for what its like to be on a track and also see just how fun your car really can be.

again REX.NET Track day is Thursday May 6th 2004

NOTE: I am booking the day out of my own pocket, so I will need for people to pay up before hand so I can finish paying for the track before the day.

Cost will be $80 per driver (+ $40 12 month Wakefield licence payable on the day if you don't already have one).

Please PM or email me to arrange payment as soon as is possible, as payment will secure your spot in an ABSOLUTE maximum 40 car field.

BONUS: confirmed is Mark Pakula (Fast Fours photographer) will be there on the day to take photos throughout the day, and CDs will be available from him of all the photo he takes of you and your car on and off the track that day.

Layout Everyone will be split into 4 groups and will be on the track in 15 minute lots, giving everyone fair time on the track, plenty of time to give drivers and cars a rest, with assurance of 15 minutes every hour on the track. More experienced drivers will be on hand to give the first timers a ride as passengers and also ride as passengers for the first few laps to show you the lines of the track

Please remember, I have organised this and paid out of my own pocket so need payment before the day to me to secure your spot. It will be a great and enjoyable rex.net event and opertunity for some more laughs .

i will definately be going to wave the Skylines Australia flag, i hope many of you can join me down there!!!

franks.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
