Don't panic about the noise - they take the tests from 50m away. Trust me - have you ever heard a full blown 69 Mustang with a 7L Donk go past at full revs? Makes an import sound damn quiet. And there are 2 that race on these days noproblems.  

Basically if you have an exhaust you will be right. You won't get done for noise.

then i will try and get the ceffy there cause the soarers already been epad twice... another one is a 1000 dorra fine.

ad define an exhaust? :D mine has a pipe... does that count?

Ok well we can add Adzmax (R34 GTT) and RedR32 (R32 GTR but its not Red - its purple so go figure) to the list - that makes 13!

Lucky for some! :D

If we include the ceffy and the Ice Supra (both entering under SAV) thats 15. Were not far off having 1/4 of the entire field! :wassup:

Making the SAU Track Record top 10 list suddenly got harder!

lmao nice.

oooooo i just remembered i wont have to buy tyres either cause i ahve a spare set of 17s with tyres on em! Well that makes it look more affordable.

ok... all i need now is to get a uote from ICE to fix the tail/drive shaft.

might pop around and see them this afternoon too.

Shit, facing another problem. The rims that i've got is now going back to its owner and i'm getting my $$ back. Reasone : had spacers at the front and it look like bloody american monster trucks, the rear fit perfectly though! Not happy.

Anyone run stockie 225/50/16 on track? Well time is runing out my last sollution is i might get Falken Azzines for the rear that should help a bit?

Still i've sent the Sandow form off already.

man those rims are ugly, why did you ever buy em?

Get some Hankook K104 Silica tyres, better than falkens and not 2 expensive

yeah kinda missed the point of his post... but anyway... more related.

onthe form it says"Mufflers must be fitted to all vehicles entered in the event."

eeeeer.... i dont have one... once again... i have a pipe.

also will they accept a car thru scrutineering where the front bar is held on by cable ties? lol

They never look under the car.

Based on my experience, they check:

Brake/ Tail lights

cabin and boot space - for loose items

fire extinguisher - they pull it out check date, but dont put it back in. slack

return spring on butterflies

seat belt condition

windscreen wipers (if rain is expected)

secondary bonnet strap

It only takes 2 minutes. They are too lazy to get down on their knees and look under the car.

Ni - have you ever BEEN to a track day? If not - come down to Phillip Island on Sunday. And there you will see some if the "racecar" vechiles that aren't permitted for street driving and you will feel much better about the ceffy.

Basically what they will check.

1. Steel Valve Caps.

2. Fire Extinguisher.

3. Helmet.

4. Throttle Body Return Springs (you have them already)

5. Brake lights.

6. You car is empty of loose itmes.

7. You have a competition number

8. Seatbelt/harness

9. Blue Triangle for battery.

Thats about it - the whole thing takes about 2 minutes.

Basically what they will check.

...

6. You car is empty of loose itmes.

What about the loose cannon behind the steering wheel :flamed:

You are right about the Top 10, looking at some of the cars coming along i think ill be happy if i fill one of the last few positions.

LOL, looks like the centre console, door trims and lower section of the dash are coming out. Lets see if i can get the car down to 1250kgs, :headspin:

man those rims are ugly, why did you ever buy em?

Those wheels are awesome, i wanted to get a set, the colour aint that flash but those Volk would look tasty with a blast and fresh coat of paint and clear coat :aroused:

:) ...just realised i sent my entry of before i signed up with the Battered SAVS, so im down as NDSOC :throwup:

...and dont worry about rhe cable ties on the fron bar, as long as its secure, my inner guards are all held on with cable ties :D

And if you have never been to a track day and you have this weekend free, then head down and have a laugh with these guys at PI, you will get a good idea of how easy it is to get out there and enjoy your cars.... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=50670

Re noise don't worry at all. We run the GTR with a side exit straight thru pipe and have never come any where near the 30m drive by noise limit.

And I'm sure scruitineering has been covered off above, the bottom line is all they look for is track worthiness/safety. And the scruitineers have no idea what all the bits in under a skyline bonnet are :D

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
