Im coming up from Melbourne to do a day a CAMS L2s Practice Day Eastern Creek on the 13th May.

Should be another good chance to knock out plenty of laps and have some fun.

Anyone else interested in coming along for a play...its not a fun/open day so i highly doubt you will be able to take passengers etc, so you iwll have to get out their in your own cars:)

At the last one there was a genuine Ex B&H Sierra out there, shame it was raining, would have been great to see how the old girl went

If your able to make it, rev/talk it up and see if we can get some of the Vic boys up for the day.

i might be up for a genlte day of running too (no sump buffles yet:( )

Have you got a CAMS license Richard? Ive only got the SAU membership, that's not enough, is it? Pretty sure about that. Need to revisit the VERY CONFUSING THREAD ABOUT SAU CAMS ASSOCIATION AND WHAT IT MEANS.

Might get off my bum and get myself ... hold on ... L2S is level above L2NS. So there is no chance I can do it within a month.... Confused. Oh well, i ll come up to have a look.

All you need to do is got to

http://www.cams.com.au/downloads/competito...2005/Level2.PDF

fill out the form and send it off. Get the L2S licencse which is $85, I did this last week so I could go to these EC days, hopefully get before the 13th.

Yeah, I have an L2S. like Reedy says, just fill out the form and send it off with your dosh. should be ready in time no worries.

boys.. I am gonna try my hardest to get out there for this.. !!!!

EC > * and I need to do some roundy roundy.. Prolly wont go nuts on my current tyres (famous last words, you all saw my expert slidey slidey on the mighty simex)..

ps. Anyone have any old simex tyres they dont want :)

I will be at EC for some practice

So will Drunken and Richard be there ?

ducnan will almost certainly not be there judging by the disclaimer in his post. haha

I want to go. nothing is stopping me... except fear of engine failure due to lack of sump baffles. however I have overcome that before, and most likely I can do it again and just keep the rev limit pegged at 7500rpm.

should be fun :)

I hope that the dinner crew turn up, will be a blast:cheers:

I just hope my CAMS license comes through in time.

I am keen even just to see what else is there.

I have not been to private practice at EC before, is it just the normal wrist to ankles and helmet ?

Smart Arses :)

Everyone looking for a CAMS license L2S, there is another option. Club execs can sign them for you on the day as well, I always have forms with me.

And....I don't want to discourage anyone, but this is a pretty full on kind of day....they keep race and road cars seperate but the standard of driving is higher than most track days, and you won't be able to have a passenger to instruct you.

OK Great news to go with this.

For those that want a weekend of motorsport, there is a state supersprint at Oran Park on the Sunday as well. Best of all it is on the full (GP) circuit which is by far NSW best track :cheers: (yeah sure include Bathurst if you want Sydneykid :cheers:)

C'mon everyone, its time we got the year's motorsport off to a start!

Duncan,

Are you suggesting that we should not consider the private practice day ?

I have not been to one since Amaroo Park days in the 80's, and back then I had a real Sports Sedan.

I want to take the car out for a good run and spend the rest of the day chatting and watching the other cars go for runs.

What type of safety requirements do they have ?

Is there anything we need to know before we arrange and pay for this day ?

Thanks

Sorry mate I don't mean to discourage anyone, it is a good track day and the driving standards are pretty high.

Its just not a great day for someone having their first track day.....there are no passengers or instructors, and overtaking is allowed in corners etc.

I'm not sure of the requirements for a road car, best to contact ARDC and post up.

I'll be there spectating.

Damn I need to fill out my calendar for all this motorsport action in May (from memory their are 2 trackdays, 2 F1 races, 2 V8S races, a cruise or 2) I think I might need to take some time off from work... oh hangon im home by midday :cheers:

I will have to wait and see how a few things pan out. Im spendign way too much money on enjoying the car at the minute...adn until i get it all sorted and running 100% im going to try and stay clear of Sprints, as you are lucky to get 10laps plus warm up and cool down laps...not the best when you are playing / chasing probs on the car:(

Practice days for me until then, 6 to 7 sessions of 8-12 laps means you get way more track time:)

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
