I'm actually off this Wednesday; I might join you!

I've been keen to get back out there, as I only had a dump pipe on mine; nothing else. Hence my 14.9.

It would be interesting to see what difference my mild mods so far have made; it's certainly a different car on the road.

How much is it and what time do they start?

I think gates open around 4:30pm and cost is around $50. You also need a compliant helmet; there is a list.

I just received this on FB from the Sydney Dragway feed;

Hi all, unfortunately we have to cancel tonight's Hi-Tec Oils Race 4 Real ... there is little chance of the weather clearing this afternoon. Please take care on the roads and be safe.

So it looks like we're out of luck for this week.

:angry:

Thanks for the info dale, look forward to catching up next time at the creek, I'm guessing in 2 weeks as next we'd is a public holiday.

Yep, I'll be on for that; working next Wed, so 2 weeks away works well with my roster.

Going to have to push my LPG fed XR8 owning mate to come out too.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm out this week unfortunately; missus is doing stocktake on Wednesday night.

I'm sure my young bloke would like to come with me; but I don't think they'd be too happy about me doing runs with a 3 year old asleep in the back... :whistling:

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
