Wow, it was so good being a flaggie. At first i thought yeah, since i can't afford to run i might as well go flaggie, put a bit of effort in for our club cos' i remember back down PI no ones want to be a flaggie and i was wrapt being so close to all the action......

Watching Ben, Andrew, Chris, MR Brisby the AVOR33 flying pass was just so good. Sad to see GTREAL broke down a few times due to the cooler clamp ( last time he broke down was right in front of us ) but THE BEST OF ALL was this BEAST ...

anyone know who this is? Me and Dean ( a Rex official i think ) was hanging out just to see THE BEAST get back on track, this thing was FLYING.

Anyone know what mod it has, the front camber was crazy and ofcourse all of our members and the rexies was putting on a really good show. Now i know when its' the next track day and what to do when i can't affort to run :Pimp2:

a few more pics ..

racing there happens all the time from different clubs. SAU Vic tag along with the WRX track days - you can see a list of them on this page http://www.wrx.com.au/motorsport/default.php

No more sandown track days for the rest of this year with WRX guys. Winton and calder are the only ones left this year. Coming into winter track days usually stop for a while.

Congrats to all the boys for getting some great times at Sandown.

The presence of SAU was excellent both on and off the track.

Pics to follow soon.

PS. On ya Brisby for showing everyone what the 32 could do. Still can't believe you were the only one still going at the end of the day - it just doesn't seem right!!!

Ni - yeah Brisby surprised us all - perhaps we should have more faith in him.

Aaron - thanks - it was hard work taking photos, shooting video footage and still being a semi-compotant flag marshall!!!

Oh yeah and if anyone wants one of the above photos - PM me an email addy and I can send you the full size version.

For obvious reasons it was the most fun ive had at a track day for a while...:D

Good work to Bec, West, Jarrod for flagging, :D

And for what its worth, for those that had mishaps, just remember swings and roundabouts so next time will be better:)

Main thing is not only did Gareth walk away from the acco, lol he drove away:)

Mate i dont know if there is anything i can do, bu im on holidays so let me know if you need a set of hands.

And truth be told i was hoping for a 1:27-1:26, the fact that the car easily dipped into the mid 1:25s i was a bit surprised myself, what surprised me more is that it did with smoking the inside tyre onto the two main straights, so with just the diff shimmed up i may go see if i can strangle a low 1:24 out of it:)

    • 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!
