-2 is balmy.

some ppl got air, but you have to really push it. most of the time its just the suspension droop, and most of the time your survival instincts kick in and make you slow down for it...

how powerful is your car? you probably won’t get to 4th.

They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though.

yep as I posted earlier (I think) they are running a Motorkhana on the vehicle manouvering (sp?) area on the Sunday. Pretty sure there wont be any more spots for that, they had 10 left a week ago. I'll be doing both :)

Oh and picked these up today, will be giving them a run on Saturday :D

A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time:

  • does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course?
  • is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video?

I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds.

Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers!

No air but car gets light depending on your approach speed. It's up to you how fast or slow you approach it.

No cones will not be exactly the same places as that video

4th won't happen on the straight unless you have mega power

Scott, don't worry so much! You'll live longer :D

There is a slow lap at the start where everyone goes in single file at a slow pace so you will be familiar with the track.

By mega power, I'm talking 420rwkw and upwards. I'd expect you to be in 2nd or 3rd for the whole run (of course with the exception of 1st at 7500rpm for the launch at the start)

Also that crest is like any crest you see in hilly parts of Sydney, for example the big one in Greenwich. You're not encouraged to go flat out over it and by doing so your time will be slower anyway so stuff that. If it's really bothering you I'll take you to it in the morning before runs start and drive over it myself with you in the car to demonstrate it's perfectly harmless when common sense is used :)

Hey,

I'm keen, can't believe i only just found out about this.

Are there any spaces left?

and is there any extra cost to get the appropriate cams license on the day?

Yes spaces left. Send the form and money today and you'll be fine.

There is no extra cost for the CAMS license other than the actual cost of the license (eg it costs you no more to do it on the day, but the license cost still has to be paid)

Hey guys,

Any chance of entering on the day? Only just remembered about it now. I've already got CAMS etc

Thanks

We prefer to not do entries on the day as it's pretty crazy for the volunteers in the mornings, and we are short a few volunteers for this, but if that's the only way you can do it.....

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
