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.

hello my name is jai and i am the organiser of this event, brett who you

have been speaking to, works for me. now i have silently sat back and

watched as you abuse the night that we have spent hours working on.

but now i feel that it is going to far. for starters you go on like your

racing? but who are you? and have i seen your money? i dont think so.

the night is about people having fun and learing to race their own car

around a very challenging track at night. it gives them the opertunity to

see how they compare against similar cars, older cars and newer cars.

they may be new to racing or have done it for years, it is unfair to call

them amatuers, they are enthusiasts.

i dont believe it is rude to charge an entry fee. and only $5 i might add.

not $10 like the drifting. or $15 like wed night drags. 20 people DOES NOT

cover costs. 30 people DOES NOT cover costs.

clearly you have no idea and are clearly dreaming. people like you will sit

on forums all day long and bag out events like this because you dont have

the balls to stand up and participate. honestly i dont want you there with

that attitude. but im more than happy to invite YOUR friends to come and

watch.

Regards

Jai Philp

Sorry Jai, I dont think R34 was abusing the night (and neither was I), it was just about the fact that spectators we may have told or invited have to pay.... which I'm sure wouldn't be an issue for them, maybe slightly unexpected though.

Also, I spose we wouldn't know the cost of the night in total, but if 20 people paying $150 doesn't cover charges we are grateful the rest of the cost has been made up or sacrificed

I have been informed that track hire and insurance is $4000 alone just to give you some idea.

I do hope everyone turns up for this event as it is looking to be a top night with the selection of cars that we have on our list.

As a reminder, there will be a bbq food and cold drinks available on the night and that alcohol is not permitted...

Thanks for the clarification Brett.

I was under the impression that 20 people were required to break even. Now I know that not to be the case I stand corrected and apologise.

I did defend your fees early on in this post as others were complaining about the charge whereas I was appreciative of the work involved in making this work.

My issue was the costs charged to spectators but if this is factored in to break even then that is fine by me.

And now to answer Mr Jai <_<

That's ok, we aren't out to pissoff the car community. We're just trying to give them an opportunity to use their vehicles in the manner that they were meant to be used, but legally.

OK Jai

Firstly your not even a member of this forum to be handing out insults such as your uninformed ramblings above.

So Pull your head in and calm down.

Secondly let me state that you have $75 of mine sitting in your account.

So yes you should "think so".

Secondly I only just received my car from Japan and am not really ready to track it yet but when the event was in danger of not going ahead I made a promise to you that if you got to 19 entrants I would be the 20th. When you emailed me the money was in your account within 10 minutes even though I may not enter the event.

But I will pay the balance anyway...why?? because I gave you my word and that is of great importance to me.

I am dissappointed that you chose to grandstand on these forums rather than contact me directly and discuss my concerns like adults.

Now if me and my attitude are not the suitable I shall comply with your request and not come should an apology from you not be forthcoming.

Oh and finally on not having the balls to stand up and compete?

Who am I ?

I have

-Competed at state level in Rallying for 13 seasons

-Nationally seeded driver

-Nissan/Datsun club champion

-CAMS appointed official

-Autocross winner

-State motorkana class champion for 4 consecutive years

-Winner of numerous Hillclimbs

-Competitor in the Wanneroo 5 hour.

-Competitor in several Tarmac events

-Podium finish first ever Navigation Rally (as the Navigator)

-Still a self confessed amature.

And heaps of other events I haven't got time to list as I do not sit on the internet all day.

But I will post a pic of my trophy cabinet tonight as well if you like.

The remainder of my entry fee has now be transfered to your account but as I type this I'm just getting angrier.

I'm paid up but don't know if I will turn up if this is typical of your attitude. I'm there for fun and the love of the sport. If there is bad blood it ceases to be fun.

Wow...

Hope my Credentials are OK for the event as all I have is a 25metre Breast stoke swimming certificate from Primary school :) :lol:

Anyway....If its only the short track, I wonder whether its worth disconnecting the ECU 180kmh Speed limiter?

I still think it will hit it..... :P

Crap!! Hitting 180kph on the short track ?

You guys have got me running scared now :D

I have the limiter in place too but never gave it a thought as there is no way my poor NA will get to those speeds

Look forward to seeing you there :D

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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.
