The Winter Winton Fun Day is on Sunday 17th July.

This is always a great track. It's still pretty good even in the wet. Great track to learn on and huge run-off area's if you get it wrong. Nice and simple, track is a contant width and although this isn't a factor for you Anthony there are minimal gear changes so you can consentrate on steering and braking.

Mind you on these fun days your biggest risk is other cars. There are heaps on the track at once.

ok, yeah im lazy, and just trying to drum up an indication of sau interest.

i went last december, took a friend with me, who took his brother up early this year. so now the whole posse is interested in going, since it doesnt require licenses and is dirt cheap.

apparently the last fun day had half the people, so less cars on the track, and much more comfortable day. december put me off, with so many cars, and people started getting ****y as the day went on, so rode ya ass into corners too much.

anyway, july it is, prolly head up then. just concerned since no mention of it here; wondeirng if it been overlooked or come and gone.

cheers.

Every time I take my car it's very busy, every time I don't and I go to watch/passenger it's beautiful weather and quiet without fail! I'll be driving this time so expect lines round to the petrol bowsers like the december one!!!

This time of year will make the lines more bearable, not so hot.

Whats too far? There is no such thing:)

These days are so much fun i have never considered the drive to / from nto worthwhile ...even the time i needed a tow back to Melb. A +3hr drive is nothing, its a CD and a half, and if you happen to be in an SAU convoy its seems a lot quicker:)

How is delaying my holidays so i can do 3weeks work in Sydney...real reason was i wanted to go to Eastern Creek, thats just under a 9 hr drive:)

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
