My fiances old man is coming to Australia late Dec to early Jan for our wedding and I want to take him to a track day. He was a pro touring car and rally cross driver when he was younger so hes been asking me.

Anyone got any tips on what happens around this time? He is saying he would stay until the 10th/15th Jan, but might be able to twist his arm for the right track.

Winton's test & tune on the 6th Jan is the only thing I can find at the moment.

Obviously the ultimate would be PI, but doesn't look like much happens around then.

Cheers,

Paul

Yeah that one looks good. I believe he's getting in after xmas but will keep it in mind. Might do it myself regardless!

Have you looked in prior years of natsoft for recurring events whose date location may be suitable?

Yeah that dawned on me last night! Maserati club looks like the go for PI - assuming they hold it second Friday of Jan again it should be the 11th. Funny looking through the entry llist not a single Maserati there.

Hi Paul, so you got your new car built? silver yeah, think i saw it at racepace. been for shakedown yet?

Hi mate yep that's the one. Almost ready should be mid next week so no shakedown as yet. Was hoping to have it ready for DECA but was just too much still to get done.

Trying to find a suitable event to give it a run in the next few weeks.

    • 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
    • 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. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
