BEGINNERS

Remember the bottom section of the track will be open for practice for BEGINNERS ONLY, and we will close it when it gets dark (around 8.30?). Any beginners using this section of track are able to drive on the main circuit if they feel capable. Beginners will be instructed on how to drift by the Full Lock Drift Team/FLM Racing free of charge.

It is not run like a "free practice"... there is a marshall starting people off at intervals to keep people apart.

Later in the evening the cars can get waved through closer together. Last time I heard there was a lane for people that wanted to drift in "tandem" for practice on that.

I did hear from Oran Park there were some problems with a few people who didn't really care about their cars so were making others a bit uncomfortable.

Yeah i went, it was an excellent night. The rain held off all night and there was heaps of cars, some people i felt were going a bit close to cars but like GOJIRA said it depends on peoples comfort level. It was only really in the tandem battles at the end of the night after all the corners people doing fishy rediculously fast down the main straight.

Yeah the R34 did have a lil mishap, didnt see the stack but saw it going onto the trailer, and i think it comes from Option House or something.

But was heaps of fun there was 4 R33 i saw including me, and quiet a few R32 two and four doors. Which added to the diversity of cars. Heaps of fun

yeah, the oh performance r34 blew the radiator when he hit the wall. bugga....

some good talent out there the other day, it was a shame the blue 180 decided to do a burnout through the pits....

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
