Happylaps - Queensland Raceway - August 17Th


Recommended Posts

Event:
Happy Laps - Queensland Raceway
Description:
This happy laps is being run in conjunction with the Queensland Supra Club.
A chance to get out on track for a fun cruise and have some om nom noms! Bit of spirited driving is allowed but it is still an event on a race track so a few rules need to be followed (see below). Also if you have not done QR before this is your ticket into Lakeside, since the next few happy laps are at Lakeside I would be a good idea to get the compulsory QR session out of the way ;)
Location:
Queensland Raceway
Date:
Saturday 17th of August.
Time:
12:00 AM Arrival
Track time will be after the superbikes so we don't have a specific time. Lunch will be provided after the laps.
Cost:
$35 for members and guests of members
$50 for non members
Please note that this is a per person cost, any passengers etc are required to pay as well
Requirements:
1. Participants must meet minimum age requirements for being on track. Minimum age: 12yrs old.
2. No overtaking in the first 2 laps.
3. The overtaking car is responsible for completing the overtaking move safely.
4. Overtaking is only permitted on straights, unless clearly waved passed by the car in front.
5. Overtaking move must be completed well before the end of the straight, and the car being overtaken must be given plenty of room.
6. Cars should not be more than 2 abreast at any point on the track.
7. Be aware of cars around you, in front and behind (and beside when being overtaken).
8. Do not assume that the car in front of you knows you are there.
We are moving away from cash on the day so if you are attending please pay several days before the event.

I say no to downshift style happylaps......watching those videos and how slow they are around the corners just to drag race makes me a bit sad.....Granted it has long straights, and is right next to Willowbank....but

I'm all for powercruise style happy laps, line ups down the straights make it more fun than just follow the leader

No. This is strictly prohibited. It is dangerous and outright stupid.

People got pulled of LP for this and you will get pulled off the track for doing this.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
