Guys,

A few people have expressed interest in helping with the filming for the track day on the 24th wether it be with donating stuff for us to use on the day to the actual filming.

I need to know a list of what we have available so i can figure out the best way to organise all this.

I will be bringing 2 cameras... one will be perminantly mounted in roys car on the mount he has and the other will be mounted either on the sideline or in someone elses car as someone else said they had a headrest camera mount.

So if you have camera mounts, tripods etc or want to help out with the filming from the sidelines please let me know in this thread as the other is too long now.

Also on one section of the day passengers are allowed so i wouldnt mind (with the permission of the drivers) everyone with cameras to go in the cars and film from the passenger seat.

This will all be going towards an SAU DVD which i want to put together in the near future once we have enough footage.

I wouldnt mind people bringing their cameras on the cruise this sunday too to take footage to add to the collection... so take as mmuch footage as possible and copy it uncompressed onto something for me if u please.

Cheers,

Ni.

Ok - Ni. You aren't allowed to have passengers holding camera's whilst driving.

At Phillip Island we snuck the camera's in and got away with it. The big difference is at Phillip Island you can't see anyone once you are out on the track. At Sandown you are visible the whole time. The only way you will be able to use an in-car camera is with an approved camera mount. I don't suggest anyone risk it or else you could get black flagged and kicked out for the rest of the day. Not worth it as much as I'd love a whole lot of cool in-car footage.

BTW - Maserati Day has 2 practise/passenger sessions (well they did last time) per car.

i think Shivam has one - not sure how good it was - i think i heard him saying it was not very stable at Phillip Island - but I could be wrong

I could just go back and read the other thread to find out who volunteered - but its way too long to bother with

hi guys,

yeh that tripod I used @Phililp Island is pretty crap. So much for buying a very expensive camera to capture track days with.

Adz - what sort of tripod do you have? Its hard to zoom into a fast moving GTR whilst zooming in using a cheap one.

If you guys want you are more than welcome to borrow the tripod for the day altho like I said - its crap for anything but still cameras. I won't be able to make it on the day because I have work commitments :P

Ill donate a case of booz for consumption by the professional camera crew, if other drivers want to pitch in then cool, otherwise im happy to foot the bill to keep those in the crowd entertained:alcoholic:

Yeh laugh it up INASNT, the only time you will be near my car is when we are lining up in the pits...after that you will be struggling to keep pace with the old RB20:)

And if the camera is going in my car then ill do my best to provide some entertaining footage, short of putting it into the wall:(

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
