Happylaps - Queensland Raceway - August 17Th


Recommended Posts

I was talking to some of the guys from QR shortly after the death at Lakeside a few months back. Insurance for happy laps is insane for them and getting worse, my guess is that this has to be done to keep their coverage. Inexperienced drivers, no safety gear, passengers etc. If I ran an insurance company I'd be demanding the earth in premiums.

There's always the if you're inexperienced you don't have go out and try and chase the big fish out on the track you spend the first few times learning the track and your car, also helps if people properly maintain their car and appropriate safety equipment like decent brakes or atleast not run rooted pads. I personally go over my car as much as I can a week or two leading to happy laps or any racing event/ cruise.

have paid all ready to go,hopefully they dont police the 110-120 km as talked about,the whole idea is to give your car abit of a wind out in a controlled enviroment,if the organisers get to strict on speed limits,then it will drive people away from these events,and more prone to do stupid things on public roads,which is not what anyone wants,just a thought. :woot::angry:

is this event going to be split up into a couple of groups as have had a look on the supra site and they have 28 coming along,that means at the moment there will be 45 skylines and supras on the track at the same time,talk about hectic,with that many will probably not get out of 2nd gear!!.maybe something to look into for next time,the supra club are a very enthusiastic bunch,haha,good on them,everone to there own.

Why am I giving said cactus a blowie? Shouldn't it be you giving said cactus a blowie?

Because I suspected you wouldn't want to do that, hence the chances of my putting an rb back into it was slim to none....

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
