I thought I would start a new thread as there is a lot of talk about a meet up point which is getting confused with general chat about the day.

Rather than go back and forward with suggestions please consider the following:

For those who want to cruise down to Wakefield together, I can meet at Casula Bunnings car park at the cross roads from 6:00am leaving at 6:15am SHARP.

This is located where the Hume Hwy splits into Camden Valley Way and Campbelltown Road. The big white building in the centre of this map: Map

I think this is a good spot as it is near the M7 and M5 so is convenient for those coming from most parts of Sydney. It is also easy to get on the Freeway and head to Goulburn from this point.

Post or PM if you want to meet up from here.

615 not too late to leave? Thought the track opened at 8am :)

I does but you will have rego, drivers meeting, etc. My guess is you won't be on the track before 8:30 at best. Getting there earlier just get you a better garage.

For the Circuit Club day at Wakefield we met at 6:30 am and left at 6:45 stopped for fuel at Marulen and arrived right on time for their 8:30am registration.

If we leave at 6:15am we should be there by 8:00am driving the speed limit.

I don't think that track time starts until 9:00am anyway.

I would have thought the servo would be a better option to meet at, as i usually fill the car and jerry can before the track day.

I usually fill up the day before so I don’t have to worry about chasing fuel so early in the morning.

We will stop at Marulen BP which is about 20 to 30 minutes or so before the track. This will give everyone a chance to fill up with premium (BP Ultimate 98 ron) and get snacks and drinks if necessary. There is even a Hungry Jacks and a Diner if you want breakfast.

This way everyone gets to the track with a full tank of premium.

cant wait to pop my track cherry and meet you guys again. Have only met handful of you once at the SAU dinner at the mean fiddler but was too pissed to remember any of you. Do remember only adam, nick and jess from that dinner though am not sure if it would be vice versa :thumbsup:

    • Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.
    • Not in any way a logical conclusion. Also, looking at those logs, I struggle to see how that much oil pressure can go away that fast unless you are sucking air into the pickup. Meanwhile the ECU voltage is chucking a huge wobbly which seems to be tied to the throttle position. 100% throttle results in decreasing voltage. It's a mess.
    • So didn't get around to installing a manual oil pressure gauge and then decided to take the car for a cruisey drive to a cars and coffee and brought the laptop along with to get another log using more gears to see if its an oil pressure issue under acceleration or after. this log has 3 gears of WOT where as previous had 2 and the oil pressure dropped once on the brakes, and the same again happens here which is interesting as it shows it can hold oil pressure while under acceleration but once slowing or just the lower RPM after a pull pressure drops. I will be chucking a manual oil pressure gauge on to confirm but so far this makes me feel it is not an electrical issue. Something else i realised is the pressure sensor also is giving temperature information and the temp stays steady the whole time which makes me feel like the sensor itself is showing a true pressure reading.
    • LOL.... fk...   there goes 25K to make 200kW
    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
