Hi, i've just recently move to Melbourne for my studies and will be planning to stay on here. I just found out that Albert Park circuit consists of public roads and therefore there will be no track days. I am just curious to know which other circuits are accesible in Melbourne/Victoria? And how far away. Thanks!

Back in Malaysia i go to Sepang kinda often but here in Melbourne I've yet to buy a car cause i'm still studying. I'll most proably be getting one next year when i start working. I was just curious to know if there were any circuits around. Now that I know, i feel much better know that there are a few circuits. Hehehe! I love track days!!!

I love Sepang!! The track is pretty wide, and the 2 straights are pretty high speed. I hit 190km/h with my EK running a B18CR engine on the "start" straight. If any of you have a chance, do go for a drive in Sepang. They have track days pretty often. As long as there isnt any event, every other Sunday is pretty much a track day. I would love to try a higher powered car in there.

So over here, track days have to be personally organized? Or is it organized by the track itself? Because Sepang organizes their track days.

Over here the track days are usually organised by car clubs. These car clubs must be affiliated with CAMS to do so. So to do a track day first you need to become a member of a car club (can I suggest Skylines Australia Victoria :) ) - then you need to get a CAMS license (thats easy - its just $85pa). The you can go to any of the track days held by clubs.

Those of us here at SAU are doing our track days this year with teh WRX Club. You don't have to be a member of the hosting club to participate in their track days (usually) - you just have to be a member of ANY car club.

As mentioned those of us from here are going to Phillip Island on Sat March 12th for our next event. Details are found in the Events sub-heading on this (Victoria) forum. You can also do a search in Victoria with the words - Sandown, PI, Winton, Calder and Wang and you will find plenty of reports / pics from past events we've had. Look out for some pics of a Silver R32 GTST - plates BRI58Y. Its a weapon.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
