I really need to check this forum more often. I'm a month late!

I just sent first timer payment, form is incoming. Do I need to print the document, sign it and scan it, or can I just save it as PDF?

Hopefully I'm in.. So now to buy a helmet and figure out how to mount the fire extinguisher I just bought.

Why didn't this fill up on the first day?

Oh I paid full amount & I'm a first timer.

Don't mind paying the full, might be bringing my girlfriend along for some passenger rides, can my extra tenner cover that too?

Yep - I'll make a note.

If you want, fill in the PDF and email it to [email protected] - good enough for me.

Not sure why; maybe a long weekend thing? We usually have pretty good attendance. It's one of the cheapest track days you can get - we've heard from other clubs in other states that they're running these days for > $100 and they fill up instantly... Maybe we're all just tightarses in NSW :P

Yeah, Owen I think your right.

Maybe something for the execs to discuss the calendar. I remember last year one was over the Bathurst weekend. Long weekend doesn't do us an favours.

Yep, unfortunately there's very few places anywhere around Sydney to do this type of event - we tried to book around September last year for this year's events, and could only get long weekends, that's how hard it is to get dates (will be looking into booking next year's stuff pretty soon then!).

(incoming explanation/rant)

It sucks, but unfortunately we can only do the best with what we've got. We try and run these events at absolute break even to keep the costs down and attendance high. There was recently an increase in fees for entrants, a small fee for passengers and also costs for food/drink as we can supply; this is because our cost of hiring the venue has gone up by about 30-40% in the last 2 years. We tried to absorb the cost last year by having 40 entrants per day, but it was giving people the shits because people weren't getting enough runs, so we dropped it down to 35 and then 30 (from memory) so that everyone gets heaps of runs, has heaps of fun. It's just unfortunate that we need to charge a little more to break even instead of running at a loss. We'd love to do it, but it's just unsustainable, especially that everyone involved in running the days give their time voluntarily.

Good rant Owen! The venue is good and the costs involved are understandable! I think the pricing is awesome value for the day you get.... I guess a venue like that is pretty hard to find but will keep an eye out ;) Do you know how many spots are booked vs available? I can do some promoting with a few guys that may be keen (Non SAUers)

Will check it out tomorrow night and then PM you - I think we're holding off on saying until there's only a few spots left because of the logistical nightmare of last-minute rushes :)

Fair enough- that's unfortunate. All good points there by Owen too. I think its a great event, the price is very reasonable. I know, as a volunteer, its a hard event to run and keep ticking over. Thank you guys.

And on that note we all have to thank the guys that put their hand up to help out! I remember the last one had the guys running flat out all day in the sun :)

shouldn't be much if any hassle fitting a fire extinguisher.

how is the bottom part of the back seat held down on a v35, is there a bolt?

if not, you can use a simple piece of aluminium between the passenger seat bolts like we did in the leaf.

randy, facewhatnow?

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
