Well, Majanal's getting us organised for 19/12, but there is also a half day on 21/11. Come along and make sure you're not getting rusty.

I saw on the other thread that Roy was interested, anyone else coming along? If so, I'll get in touch with Motoconcepts.

It also looks like Steve from Disc Brakes Aus will be along, so it's a great chance to nag someone about all your brake questions:uh-huh:

Yeh for sure ill be there, fingers crossed its a cool day like today.

Need new tyres, getting Dunlop Formula Rs, pricey but everyone says they are the tyre to have.

I can get some AZENIS for $700 less (less than $1000), so i suppose the question is how much better are the Dunlops over AZENIS, and AZENIS over normal road tyres.

Hey Guys,

Just spoke to Tracey from motoconcepts regarding prices for the 19th of Dec. and I asked about how many she had booked for this day that Duncan is organising.

She ONLY has 6 cars booked at this stage.

This means that it is a really good oportunity to get along and have a day where there isn't much traffic.

This is good for young and old... I mean newbies and experienced guys.

Newbies can learn the track without constantly having to look in the rear view mirror to let faster cars past and the experienced guys can get out and have a blat with out having to flash lights at inexperienced drivers and commondoor's. Or, do as I shall be doing and get some serious sideways happening before the new set of treads goes on.

Speaking of treads, I have run azeins and will be at the track on thursday, we can chat about tyres as Duncan said.

Gotta go,

See you all thursday.

Dan.

That makes:

1. Duncan

2. Kelly

3. Roy

4. Majanal

5. Fatz

6. Fatz's mate (!)

I'll get in touch with motoconcepts tomorrow.

I spoke to Dave this morning, and we are book for Thurs.

He did say he was only expecting about 20 cars all up, which means

1) Very little traffic, so it will be a great chance for first timers to get out there without idiots around you

2) Motoconcepts are unlikely to put on as many days unless numbers are up. It would be a shame to lose the best opportunity we have to make the most of our cars' performance.

If you've been considering a track day, this would be a great opportunity to goet out there.

Welcome, FLIP.

We'll be on the track from 1pm-5pm, you'll need to be there from around 12.30 to get organised, briefed, car emptied etc.

There's archived info on here (do a search) for what you need, but the quick summary is:

Long clothing (neck to ankle)

Full face helmet

current license (i think)

Roadworthy car (everything secured, empty cabin)

Let us know if its your first time at the track, we can help out with someone to how you around the place.

I think we'll be OK as far as notifying them, I booked for 6 this morning, but they're only expecting about 20 cars in a 40 capacity so we should be fine.

Dino, can we get a summary of trackday requirements and have it as a sticky in this forum?

    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
