I was away yesterday however I'll have something typed up by tomorrow morning which will outline the times etc. I'll then post it on all the forums and it will also be emailed to out entrant list.

Edited by INSSSANE

Insssane - Once my line arrives (early Feb) I will be very interested in doing these type of events on a reg basis.

Just one question - I was running in the Vic championships last year and therefore my car is setup as per the CAMS regs ie it has a 2ndary bonnet restraint, 1kg fire ext. etc etc. Do I need anything else besides these requirements?

Cheers....its not actually a lot of stuff and too be hosest if I was tracking my car I'd prefer it there anyway. The only req besides the std OEM stuff is a 2nary bonnet restraint, 1kg fire exting, metal valve caps and that nothing loose must be in the car or in the boot.

I've prob missed something but thats about it :)

Man, I sooooooooooo wish that my car would be ready for this :P This is really the type of thing i'm interested in....If you happen to run one anytime from march onwards, can you please let me know!!

I will probably try and make it up to spectate this time though. So bummed out that the car has issues and i'm missing out on this!!

When the next night is organised i'll be putting it back up on the same 21 forums, plus more if i hear of any.

If the numbers are higher than 20 will there be a reduction in the cost?

Don't think you will be able to charge spectators for entry from a legal point of view without the proper permit and ABN No etc.

This event has all the required approval by CAMS and the likes, along with the fact that it has an ABN number due to being ran through a company. With this in place we are legally allowed to charge for spectating.

If the numbers were around the 35-40 then the price would be looked at, unless you can find another 15 people in 2 days the price will still be $150.

Well if you feel you must charge but I think it's a bit rude to pay to watch a bunch of amateurs in street cars run timed laps.

I would be too embarrassed to expect my friends to pay to watch me so if there is going to be a charge can you let me know so I can tell them not to bother.

If the 20 entrants are covering the costs why charge spectators?

MC Motorsport days and Sprint series is free to watch and more entertaining.

Sorry , but I really feel you will kill this event this way.

True, but I spose spectators paid to see us at the plex (1st time for some)

Yeah, I'd be hella nervous if my friends were there....I spose, let alone a whole load of spectators

:)

Agreed , but there were quite a few cars there to watch that were quick and exciting.

As exciting as it was for me to run the 35 ,from a spectator point of view it would be boring to watch until a 12 sec car or better had a run :(

Oh and for the GTR drivers tomorrow night , if you catch me flash your lights when you're ready and I'll pull over as soon as it's safe to let you by.

You may be flashing me to get out of the way if i cannot disable my 180kmh Speed limiter... :)

I presume we are running the long Track..?

Also is my GF going to be charged to enter..?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
