...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.

Here's a couple of samples from there.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
