...The only thing worth mentioning is that its a good idea to work out where the pit entry is as a few of you guys got caught out and missed it and proceeded very s l o w l y  around the track :)  

LOL...busted. But funny thing is, i knew where the pit exit was, and was headed down there. But a silver WRX was in front of me and he went past the exit...which got me thinking "oh, he's off to that place mentioned during the driver briefing to cool brakes...possibly at end of the main straight, as in the drags exit" How wrong i was :D

A general comment though, shouldnt really gloss over flags etc in driver briefing, and should not assume that ppl have been to the track before. If it had been spelt out in the driver briefing, it would most likely not have happened, plus a few first SAU guys had no idea about flags

I agree with that Roy and ill mention it to motorsport and the club president .

rs73: i think ylwgtr2 is best to answer that, but i'd say a rebuild of the gearbox is in order, or a new one :D

I think everyone was too worried to put thier hand up to have the flags explained.... as annoying as it may be to the more regular track goers, i think flags and more detail of exits etc.. should be gone over everytime... I've been to a few track days and even i forget what the flags mean :)

Was good fun, and well run, no time was wasted once we were on the track... pass on my thanks :)

3rds :D

There is nothing like the hospitality of a Maltese household:)

its not TRUE maltese hospitality until they make you pay for any meal or beverage that you may have consumed during the visit :) (jk AL :))

I look forwards to seeing the video.

Scott - maybe would your old man like to come to the next club meeting with his stuff from both this event and Calder??

I'm really keen to see what pics he has - especially from the night session. Even though that pic of Chris's is out of focus the night pics are so cool!

Its Frank right? Low white R33s look tuff:thumbsup:

mmm... a bit of body roll:confused: Might have to tighten upi those swaybars?!?!?!?

Good work on the photos, i suppose the drivers owe the trusty camera crew a few ales:)

Whose that guy whose hair is so fair he looks bald:(

Good pics Adz!

There are some more to be found here - mostly of rexies but give a good impression of what it was like after dark.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
