Well, its on again, the Bathurst Speed Weekend.

On the Saturday is a supersprint - standing start near the top of conrod right down thru the chase finishing at the main finish line.

Sunday is even better, a hillclimb up the track from conrod right up to macphillamy park.

$115 for each day, very cheap! And a good opportunity for a beer or 3 on sat night.

All you need is long clothing, AS approved helmet, fire extinguisher and battery triangle (and 2nd bonnet restraint if your car is pre 83)

aww shit

my old car

boys, this truly is a top event

the supersprint starting on conrod is tops

and as for the hillclimb, you get to do a "tyre warming exercise" (no shit, thats what they officially call it) beforehand./ so smoko the tyres

get entered

duncan, pls keep me informed of this event. id like to come watch on sunday. cheers, mark

Sounds good. I guess we should start organising accomodation now.

Minimum 4 runs, max 100 entries on day one, minimum 3 runs, max 80 entries on day 2.

I certainly hope we get more than 3 runs in one day. That would suck arse to go all that way for 7 runs over 2 days.

Yeah i was reading that... it seems a little harsh :)

I guess though.. 100 vehicles is a fair number, but still, so little runs as a minimum is suprising. Hopefully they dont get so many entrants!

no such thing as "track days" at bathurst using the whole track. unless you are racing a race car, built to a class you have no hope of driving the full track under closed 'race' conditions. :(

(Well, for watching unless someone donates a car)

finish your own car you butt pirate! this is 2 months away. stop bludging and get crackin'. gives you something to aim for. :(

You know what ive been doing this afternoon?

Shopping :dry:

There's just too much to consider, its getting to be a giant headache

Still, ill be driving up in one of the cars either way, so yeah, pub on Saturday night sounds good

You know the worst part about this? I was having those CV joint problems when this was on last year, and only the week before i magaed to get it all finished/fixed, so i missed out :P Still, the observant ones wouldve noticed it parked up there on top of the hill :P

Ya gotta love a race car driver that doesn't read the sup regs!!!. Sunday's hillclimb starts on Mountain Straight not Conrod. Duncan were you on the turps when you posted up?.

Talking of turps,,,Saturday night sounds like a top idea to me,,,good thinking 99.

hge better be ready buddy or you could always use another car or 2 in the stable.

Come on everybody fill those entry forms out and lets have some fun.

Neil.

ps - with the supersprint - is there any point with the 180 speed limiter???

I guess it depends on your power, I didn't get it with my old gtst.

And last Time I did it there was no-where near 100 entries, and I got 6 runs each day....which is a lot for a hillclimb.

Also, don't forget its only $115 each day, its a great weekend away and not hard on the car.

supersprint is started halfway down conrod (in the dip) so if you do 180 before the kink you'll be a happy boy. easy done

supersprint i only got in about 5 last time, but damn it's fun

hillclimb i got plenty of runs

with any luck, it'll rain. makes for more fun

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
