Damn, should have put my name down earlier.

Let me know if any spots become available.

Hi Mate,

As a back up plan you can always do Nth Circiut with us -

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/457132-18th-october-smsp-north-circuit-interclub-track-day-limited-offer/

So far 6 or 7 of the guys from this track day are in! :yes:

Just out of curiosity and cause I've never been to a track day before. What does everyone bring?

in my case, a tow truck.

but srsly, a seat, bottles of water, some food, any spares or tools you think you may need.

And of course, helmet, and suitable clothes.

Hey guys I know a lot of you are not new to track days and will know what I'm talking about but for the newbies I will be outlining what will be expected when you come see myself and others in the scrutineering shed

First things first empty your car of all loose objects, don't want to have things rolling around in the car

This will include the drivers floor mat for worst case scenario of it catching on the pedals.

While we are inside we will check your seat belts for condition, standard belts are fine no need to splash out for a harness but each to their own

Fire extinguisher is next which will need to be securely mounted WITHIN REACH of the driver, which means if you cant reach it while seated it needs to be moved.

Also make sure your fire extinguisher is within the green band on the gauge for obvious reasons

There are guides floating around the forum of where and how to mount in skylines

Next up is checking for any leaks present on your vehicle

This is pretty self explanatory, make sure there is no oil, water, power steering etc leaks present otherwise no tracks for you

At the same time we will be checking other components within the engine bay to make sure everything is in a roadworthy condition and doesn't present a hazard

Battery will be checked next for security so it won't move under super late braking and super crazy g forces

Factory restraint is fine for this

That basically covers the car now we move onto YOU!!

We check that you are wearing clothes that cover you from ankle to wrist so long pants long sleeve shirt closed shoes (sorry mateetee no hot pants and heels)

At scrutineering we will be checking your helmet is Australian certified should have a silver and sticker AS1698 eg

59822938-4E24-41D4-A6DF-8D7811B029CD.jpg

This is minimum standard

And make sure it is in good condition no cracks etc

If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll try help you out

See you all on the day in the scrutineering shed!!!

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
