Just finished watching a friends tape of a recent MG Car club event held about 1hr north of Newcastle.

The first thing i thought of when watching the tape was how perfect the circuit would be for drift. All 1st & 2nd gear corners, with one corner about 80kms so maybe even a bit of 3rd gear drift. Similar layouts to the Jap drift circuits you see on video.

I dont know about insurance etc, but friends uncle is the president of the club so can easily get the information.

So what would be the interest level in hiring the circuit one Saturday, drive up Friday night, and back on Sunday. Maybe say around April when the weather starts to cool down a little.

Me im not a huge fan of drift, mainly because i cant, but im sure ill have fun trying.

My main concern is the type of track surface, it looks pretty abrasive on the video, but can easily find out.

Will talk to friends uncle after gauging interest. The guys a champion bloke, and likely run off and organise the whole thing after only mentioning it, so would like to know if the idea holds water.

Good stuff, they're considering making this into a full permanent circuit (!! back to 4 circuits in NSW).

I'll be in with bells on.

Also, if there's a big group, we part own a hotel in cessnock, so we can get accomodation for the weekend for about $70. (And plenty of parking, damn, tar is expensive)

Duncan,

I dont know what we have to do to make it happen, but I am very interested. As fatz said, food, drink and drive fast, im in. We may even have time to do a bit of a cruze around some of the other nice spots in that area. WINE! WINE! WINE!

Roy, plenty on interest, lets find out a date around march where they are available and get organising.

If we stay away from first weekend in month (8-9/3, 5-6/4) and easter (19-21/4), I can probably get that accomodation for up to 70ppl.

Cruise up Fri night, wine on Sat, drift on Sun:uh-huh:

YA MAMMA,

Duncan... that sounds like the plan.

I'll have one of those rooms for $70 a night.

Lets pick a date soon.

I spoke to roy the other day and he said that we may need some sort of insurance? I thought that this could possible be indemnity insurance?

Deano,

Do we have any insurance like this with the club?

Hang for this one... will go down well with the missus too as she can go wine tasting on the Sunday too if she wants!!!

Not the Sky Chardonnay is it Duncan? :uhh:

So where is the circuit? 1 hour north of Newcastle is a LONG way from Cessnock. Is it the one up near Mangrove Mt.?

We will have to investigate insurance for the event if SAU is going to organise it. AFAIK CAMS will not do it because it would not be a CAMS sanctioned track (maybe by then, but who knows???...) Worth looking at.

April is good for me. I've got hols starting the 24th. :)

DIno :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
