Well, Majanal's getting us organised for 19/12, but there is also a half day on 21/11. Come along and make sure you're not getting rusty.

I saw on the other thread that Roy was interested, anyone else coming along? If so, I'll get in touch with Motoconcepts.

It also looks like Steve from Disc Brakes Aus will be along, so it's a great chance to nag someone about all your brake questions:uh-huh:

Yeh for sure ill be there, fingers crossed its a cool day like today.

Need new tyres, getting Dunlop Formula Rs, pricey but everyone says they are the tyre to have.

I can get some AZENIS for $700 less (less than $1000), so i suppose the question is how much better are the Dunlops over AZENIS, and AZENIS over normal road tyres.

Hey Guys,

Just spoke to Tracey from motoconcepts regarding prices for the 19th of Dec. and I asked about how many she had booked for this day that Duncan is organising.

She ONLY has 6 cars booked at this stage.

This means that it is a really good oportunity to get along and have a day where there isn't much traffic.

This is good for young and old... I mean newbies and experienced guys.

Newbies can learn the track without constantly having to look in the rear view mirror to let faster cars past and the experienced guys can get out and have a blat with out having to flash lights at inexperienced drivers and commondoor's. Or, do as I shall be doing and get some serious sideways happening before the new set of treads goes on.

Speaking of treads, I have run azeins and will be at the track on thursday, we can chat about tyres as Duncan said.

Gotta go,

See you all thursday.

Dan.

:Oops: Yes, that is next Thur, 21 Nov (not 21/12!)

That makes:

1. Duncan

2. Kelly

3. Roy

4. Majanal

5. Fatz

6. Fatz's mate (!)

I'll get in touch with motoconcepts tomorrow.

I spoke to Dave this morning, and we are book for Thurs.

He did say he was only expecting about 20 cars all up, which means

1) Very little traffic, so it will be a great chance for first timers to get out there without idiots around you

2) Motoconcepts are unlikely to put on as many days unless numbers are up. It would be a shame to lose the best opportunity we have to make the most of our cars' performance.

If you've been considering a track day, this would be a great opportunity to goet out there.

Welcome, FLIP.

We'll be on the track from 1pm-5pm, you'll need to be there from around 12.30 to get organised, briefed, car emptied etc.

There's archived info on here (do a search) for what you need, but the quick summary is:

Long clothing (neck to ankle)

Full face helmet

current license (i think)

Roadworthy car (everything secured, empty cabin)

Let us know if its your first time at the track, we can help out with someone to how you around the place.

I think we'll be OK as far as notifying them, I booked for 6 this morning, but they're only expecting about 20 cars in a 40 capacity so we should be fine.

Dino, can we get a summary of trackday requirements and have it as a sticky in this forum?

    • 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!
