I'll be leaving at 4:45am (for a S.E. Meet point, I will swing by Burwood Highway / Springvale Road Dan Murphy's Carpark at that time if others are coming too...), then meeting a few others at Wallan BP Outbound (~5km past the "Wallan" exit on the Hume) at 6am.

Express your interest now, or I'll just drive straight there :P

I love your brand of hard love, Simon.

Yeah i'm in mate. I'll meet you guys @ Wallan BP. What time?

I emailed Circuit Club regarding Supp Regs last Friday, was told they'd be available within this week.

cool

(Shameless Plug)

If you're looking for breaky before race day, pop in to Bouwmeesters Bakery and grab a bacon & egg Roll :)

(The one with the glass fencing, tables & chairs outside).

Sounds good, what discounts have you arranged for your fellow club members?

As you know I should be seeing you at 6am at the Wallan BP. Looking forward to my first attempt at Winton. :)

If I don't have to be there early Robyn and I will meet everyone at Wallan BP :)

Wallan BP -> Winton is 1h 35m according to Google Maps, so if we leave at 6:10am we should get there at about 7:45.

We still have no Supp Regs about the event, so don't know what time they even expect to be opening the gates (I'm assuming 7am)

Because of the semi-late arrival, I'm making sure to do the majority of my Scruitineering preparation on Friday night, so all I have to do is quickly unpack the car and get signed off.

Email just came in.

Hi,

Winton track day is just around the corner! Here are some details for the event. Any questions let me know.

7.30: Gates open. Come in, prep your car and get ready for scruitineering. Cars will be inspected in your garage. They will be checked for secure battery, cleaned out interior and working brake lights. Your car must also have a muffler fitted.
8.45: Compulsory drivers briefing. If you're not here by now you might miss your first session.
9.00: Track sessions start. We will be running 4 groups. The first set of sessions will be untimed, and passengers will be allowed. The next rotation will be timed, no passengers. We will alternate like this until the end of the day.
5.00pm: Track close- pack up and get home safe.

All drivers and passengers must wear long sleeves, pants, closed shoes and approved helmet.

Cheers,
Adrian

Still no supplementary regs with any real information... Worrying.

Oh and put your hands up please for BBQ (and if you are +1 etc etc)... I forgot to post up about that. I'm coming and bringing the usual delights

Two hands up here for Robyn and I :)

Yeah tell me about it, can't believe it's taken them that long just to send that.

In for BBQ :)

9.00: Track sessions start. We will be running 4 groups. The first set of sessions will be untimed, and passengers will be allowed. The next rotation will be timed, no passengers. We will alternate like this until the end of the day.

Every second session we will be running passengers with no timing?

I know people like to take passengers for some fun, but Winton is a bit far to be driving for half the day to be tourist laps....

EDIT: Just had a response from the organisers. There is 70 entries, not 60?

Just as long as you don't coat the track in oil!! ;)

That's finally sorted (fingers crossed lol)

Or lose all camber in a wheel and smoke your rubber against a guard :P

Hopefully that is sorted also... farken cursed... :P

Looks like I'll only be out on track for half the day then lol. Passenger laps FTL. :(

This is what happens when you're a guest at another club's track day - if they allow passenger laps, then everyone gets less track time. IMO, Passenger laps are bullshit... the only 'passenger' allowed should be in Driver training sessions.

I agree... Should be 1 (or 2) groups of cars which can allow for passengers / combined with driver training and no timing... and 3 (or 2) groups of cars which are actually there to lay down some times...

Additionally, it's now 70 cars, not 60 as initially planned

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
