lol I'm thinking of going into the easy group to begin with as my brakes/car setup is no where like the other guys who'll be aiming sub 1:25's. If i see any blue machines or fancy colored cars coming up my rear I'll be definitely making sure they past before moving around

Off the top of my head, the Radical was doing 1:06, Jenkies did a 1:19, tryin to remember more off the top of my head

No major breakages today, nobody getting towed home with stuffed motors or anything is always good

Jenkies managed a 1:18.1, fantastic really. Great day all round, best ever I'd say. To those that missed out, get your asses down to the next one, awesome fun to be had! The feedback on both the BBQ and passenger rides was awesome, so much so we will look into holding another in the near future

Great to hear guys had a blast - sadly I didn't make it at all as work went crazy and time well and truly got away from me :( .... I was busting to go for a passenger blast in Munro's R35GTR or Daniel's Radical as well :( .....

G3TR4G remember that most SAU:SA track days are not opened up to the general SAU community, so if you want to be guaranteed on future days you gotta join up :) ..... it is cheap and easy - and membership has it's benefits :D

Was great to get a ride in Munros R35. Did 2 laps in 2 1/2 minutes from start to finish included slow down. Cant wait to see it go with new turbos. Was good to meet a few new faces. I wish I had more time to see the Radical again. Hopefully I'll be out on the track next time

Looks like everyone had fun out there, good to see that nothing was broken or bent

R32 in the shed would nearly have been ready, pity the owner is broke.

S14 is still a little bit off but that owner is just lazy, hopefully get both of them out to the next track day and cut some laps and some skids

    • 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. 😛
