Hang on, well all complain about "why aren't there any track days on the weekend", well this is why, its a lot more expensive to book the track than during the week.

Motoconcepts made it clear that the track days are not making them enough money, they've already decided to cut back to 6 this year instead of 12 last year.

It could become hard to get time on the track unless we either:

* Support these guys,

* Get cams affiliation and run our own events, or

* Get CAMS licenses individually and go serious super sprinting.

I think these days are top fun, and we have to think how we can make them work.

I thought they couldn't get the track bookings?

That's the go! :)

Point taken Duncan. However, I don't think MotoConcepts have the same commitment to the Drive days that they do for the Bike Ride days.

Having said that, the good thing for us about the Drive days is the lack of need to organise anything on our part.

:P

Both Duncan and Dino are correct. But I have to sway more to Duncans side.

They don't put as much into the drive days because they are simply more work for them... the ride days fill up about 2 months before the event date and they also get less drop outs... look at it from a business point of veiw and I wouldn't focus on the drive days so much either. They cut the drive days back for that reason and the fact that they didn't get as many day that they could hire the tracks.

I'll be collecting deposits of $50 which are non-refundable on Sunday the 2nd of Feb at Carpark 6C at Hombush between 2pm and 4pm. If you don't have a deposit then you won't be included in the numbers given to MotoConcepts and thus won't have a spot saved for you.

I'll try to get prices today.

Dan.

All,

Dave has not come back with the price yet. I will keep at him,

I will call again on Tuesday.

With the prices Dave has been very good at keeping us at or just above cost. If he stops making money they we stop having track days. I may only be speaking for myself but I am happy to pay a little extra just to make sure he is going to keep suppling us with a place to drive my car.

...supplying us with a place to drive your car... Cool i was waiting for someone to throw their 33 GTR keys my way. Break out the cameras people there is going to be tears:D

My way of thinking is whats the fine for doing 180 on the street, seems pretty cheap to me.

If only these days had pit girls and i had a triple layer suit, well i guess you know who the frustrated race driver is.

I have to agree with both roy and Oz... how much do you pay for doing 80km's over the speed limit... and that is if you still have the speed cut on your car... I have done over 200 on race circuits and have not been booked yet!!! I have only ever done 20 kms over on a public road... and been booked 4 times. nuf said!

I also contacted moto concepts and have not heard back yet.

Yeh that would be me, with the speed cut i only have to lift and turn in with just a slight touch of break into turn 1 at Eastern Creek, so unitl i get a better handle on fast turns like that ill stick with the limiter thanks.

Will i have the same prob of hittng the speed cut on the straight at Oran?

Limiter at Oran? Only some very quick cars would hit it. More like 170-180. Its different coz turn 2 at the end of the straight is much sharper than turn 1 at Eastern Creek, so you'll be on the brakes much earlier :uh-huh:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
