Ok so how about wakefield. For $80 (+$30 for those without a licence) we can take our pick of the the following dates:

- Thu 20th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Fri 28th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Tue 4th March, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

OR my pick :

- Sat 8th March, No Speed Limit Day - Street Cars Only,

The saturday for those of us that work, plus it gives us time to organise, and for me to install my new goodies.

Super DDDDDOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!! I have to break something now!!!! *bashes head against pillow*

I'll still be more than happy to bring some bread.

Cruise to kangaroo valley? Kiama? How about north? Don't know north too well and would be great to wonder up that way into "enemy" territory :starwars:

Well Guys I'm on now... sorry for the late notice but as Dino has said, this event has been cancelled... and apparently all the moto concepts days at oran park have been cancelled... this leaves them with only one full car day at eastern creek and that is towards the end of the year... november I think tracy said.

I am leaning towards meting at oran park anyway and giving back deposits... then cruising anywhere.

my thoughts were Bells and beach... then I thought bells beach but changed my mind as too far to travel!!!

maybe lunch in Richmond?

If you guys are happy I'll organise a alternative cruise event for the 16th and we can all run with that... let me know.

Sorry,

Dan.

Dan,

No need to apologise - not your fault.....

Let's do a crazy kick arse cruze & BBQ instead......

Maybe the first official SAU NSW club event ?? Dino ??

Yeah guys, I think that a cruise BBQ are a definate goer. Post up your ideas.

I have 2:

1. Meet at Oran park around 10 for a 11am departure. Head across to Richmond for a bite to eat at a nice pub I know of (or we could go to the pool and use their BBQ facilities and swim) and then we have options: 1 putty road. 2 Bells Line of Road. 3 Springwood road (this one doesn't take long though, and gets pretty boring after 10 mins... but if hill climb is your thing then this is the place to be!)

2. Meet Oran park around 8:30 for a 9am departure and head to the beach... set up BBQ and eat sandy bangers over a game of beach cricket/soccer/volley ball.

let me know what you think... but either way I want to meet somewhere and get these deposits back to everyone.

if you want to see about Wakefield then go here

If you want to follow what is happening with moto concepts then go here

Just remember we only have 8 days to get this thing planned... so if no ideas by Wednesday morning I'll talk it over with the missus and make a decision.

Talk to you all soon,

Dan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No fair! That sux0rs..

However, must say thanks to dan for organising it and collecting deposits and what not. You put alot of work into it and its a shame it got canceled like this.

Would love to get out on another track at some stage.. Keep us posted.

Hmmm looks like the info on the Motoconcepts calendar is waaaay out of date. They are showing numerous Drive Days at Eastern Creek. :P

How about a cruise to Bobbin Head or Appletree Bay? It is in the National Park (will cost $10/car to enter...) but we can book a picnic spot and there are BBQ facilities. From memory there's enough room to park etc.

Suggested route:

Homebush 6C -> Old Northen Road -> Galston Gorge or Berowra Waters Ferry -> Pacific Highway -> Bobbin Head Road

Another suggestion is to follow the route above with some deviations around the Dural area and end up at Berowra Waters Ferry for a BBQ.

We can have a meeting point somewhere along the route like at Windsor Road and Old Northern Road (basically somewhere there is a big carpark). Someone with local knowledge would know better than I.

:mad:

i realised i had the wrong dyno day

me bad

there is one this saturday 15th at girraween(silvia NSW)

then there is one on sunday at silverwater (performanceforums)

just change your big day out to sat at girraween and then cruise on around then

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
