Ok here's an update:

** UPDATE **

Entry fee is $20

NO CAMS license is required to enter.

Open sign-in and safety checks start 09:00

On the track by 10:00

The day will consist of 30 minute sessions alternating between drivers only, and driver + passenger sessions (you must have a passenger)

Day will finish up by 17:00... the last session is at 16:30

You Need:

- Roadworthy vehicle, drivers license

- Approved Helmet

- Long sleeve top and pants

For anyone interested in driving up to Winton in a group, meet at the macca's just before the start of the Hume Hwy at 07:00.

Weather forecast for Sunday is:

Local early fog then fine. Mainly sunny. Min 8 Max 19 w00t! :D

And because Philip Island and AutoSalon is on this weekend... hopefully there wont be too many cars... I called Winton and they said there's a limit of 40 cars they can permit on the track at any time... so be prepared for over-taking the slower cars!

See you there!

Who's interested in driving up for the day?

Really interested, entry fees is so tempting but for the fire resistant clothing is a bit too far to reach???

It just means a long sleeve jumper and pants/trousers. Head to toe and shoulder to wrist covered. That's it!

Not at all. A few of us went to the last one and how it works is that they splt the session into driver only - followed by a session with passengers (you must have a passenger to get on the track)

Basically they let about 50-60 cars on the track at once - as people come off they let more on until the end of the 30min session. There are cars EVERYWHERE - so its kinda fun as you just spend all lap passing people! haha.

The point of the day is more aimed towards either giving people who have never been on the track before a simple and cheap oportunity and also to give regulars a chance to take their families on the track.

Dispite the number of cars I had a ball there last time. It was a different track experience but still a lot of fun.

Rob, this is a winton "open day", it is not organised by SAU, there will be all types of cars there.

My car has a couple of small/minor issues and is due for a service, so i will be heading to Phillip Island, to spectate and get pissed :).

Good Luck and have fun, i wish i could come.

This would be a good round to go to as it has been organised at short notice due to the cancellation of the super truck round, so numbers will probably be low. I would have said closer to 30 cars on the track at once.

In the mail out I got it looks like there will be sessions for bikes as well.

Will probably be there but the car might be staying at home due to lack of webber jets.

To get to winton get on the hume highway and head towards albury. After about 2 hours you will see an exit sign with winton raceway written on it, take that and ur there.

      S15 Spec R

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.
