Then prepare your ears for tyre squeal and bulk understeer, or has it still got the oem suspension package?

I have $3,500 worth of custom valved Tein's (done by MCA) in there :D

(wanna buy my old Jap KTS damper adj gear i took out? lol).

Gonna put the RE003s through their paces if I can. Only issue is I do not have oil temp gauge, has oil cooler - so gonna have to stick to 2 fliers just to be safe.

Sounds like a fun day.

What if we wanted to come along but not actually go on the track, is there still a $225 fee? (read through but I couldn't find an answer).

Wanted to come along to the event and meet some people in the SAU VIC and get their thoughts on gtrs :)

If you don't have an oil cooler, you're gonna have a very bad time. Once you see oil temp hit 120 back off as it's gonna climb top 130-135 before it starts to come back down.

R888 will be fine, you'll run outta oil (and/or brakes depending on setup) before the tyres will give out

^^^ This.

Guys get your oil coolers sorted before Jan 30th, good chance it's gonna be hot. I had to do two cool down laps after pretty much every proper lap today to keep oil temps in check. Brakes were good (DBA T3 + Remsa pads + Dixcel 273C fluid) and the tyres (fresh R888R's) were great btw.

IMO track = oil cooler by default mate.

For $800 or so, it's cheap insurance and will let you run without any issues (and to the limit of tyres/brakes) all day long.

Any recommendations on what to get? Would prefer something RB25DET Neo plug and play with a sandwich plate (with oil temp/pressure sensor spots) and good quality fittings.

What are the details in terms of times? What time do drivers have to be there and when does the track close?

The venue open at 7 and closes at 6. Track action should start around 9.

I've run a justjap kit for years. No doubt a $1000 kit might perform better, but for $350 the justjap kit works well.

If you do get the justjap kit, Teflon tape all the fittings.

Listen to this man 1st timers or this may happen

How many cars will be on track for the timed session?

We're expecting 3-4 groups of timed cars. Groups are anywhere from 10-16 cars. It all depends on numbers on the day.

For the social event, when is the latest we need to sign up by? Is there a limit?

The Thursday before the track day is best. We'll end up doing entries on the day if we don't get the 80 cars max. But entries on the day slow sign-in, which slows the whole day a little.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
