Guys, and Gals.

If you don't feel comfortable taking your car out on the track, why not come along and learn to be a flag marshal. You get to see the action from the other side of the fence, up close. You can watch how people take various lines through the corner that you're at. And its a GREAT photo spot.

If you can help - and we need the help - PM me, or email:

[email protected] or [email protected]

If anyone wants a copy of the supp regs and entry form e-mail me and I'll forward a copy.  All the requirements are detailed in the supp regs:

[email protected]

I went to CAMS on thursday to renew my licencs (expires 30/9) and they advised I should have the new one well before the event.    I believe that licences will also be available on the day, but check with the NDSOC to be sure (Greg: if you read this please confirm).  As indicated you also need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the CAMS book, but it can be useful if your planning on doing some actual races.

The max entries for the event is 120 - I'd get in early to be sure.

Supp Regs can be downloaded from the club's website - ndsoc.com.au.

Yes, Steve, there will be licence applications available on the day. And you can join NDSOC on the day as well, although if you're a member of SAU, then that will count.

I have sent my application form to CAMS today for LS2 licence. How long wil it take to get the licence approved? Will I make it in time? I shuold have the car registered and so on by then.
If you haven't heard back from CAMS by the week of the event (ie October 12 0r 13), ring CAMS and ask them to fax confirmation to you.

(If you don't have a fax, PM me for my fax number)

I would suggest you get your entry in as early as possible. This is a popular event, and could easily fill up before the day.

I would, as i want to use this as a practice day for the Maserati day.

But i think my car is beign used as a dog kennel these days, until it gets an engine its about all its good for:)

I have to be in SA next weekend, so praying its ready for the trip, otherwise i have to fly and use a hire car which is fine but they will fly me in Mon morning and back Fri night so i dont get a chance to enjoy two weekends in Adelaide.

Should be a good chance to put an easy 1300kms on the new engine and throw a few fresh sumps of oil etc at the engine

Greg - I have been geeting a few calls / PM's asking about availability for this event still. Could you please update us?

Thanks.

Still plenty of places left. But please don't wait too long and flood me with applications at the last moment. Invariably, that leads to people missing out, and we don't want that.

Looks like my car will not be ready at this rate... have picked it up from engineer but no certificate.

Can I still drive on the track day if it has not been registered yet? It says something about it only being elegable for registration to race on the form?

I have sent in all forms and bought all my gear (helmet, fire ext.)

Yes, "registerable" is OK. The main problem at Sandown is noise upsetting the locals, so as long as the car meets noise restrictions (75dB(A) at 30 metres drive-by), then it will likely be OK.

Noise limit is pretty much the same everywhere. Last HSVOC Track day @ PI also 75dB at 30m drive-by. That's I was told by one of the track officials.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
