This was something brought up recently with some locals and I figured I may as well mention it just to see if there is interest. I was thinking of taking the TRD out to QR for a track day so I can get some figures and to have some fun. Since the air is cool, I figured it would be a nice time to get it out of the way before Summer reaches us again.

The day I was looking at was Saturday 27th of August... otherwise if others would be more interested, Saturday 1st of October.

The costs involved with regards to the track day itself would be $145 for the track day plus $20 for an AASA day license (or $55 for a yearly license if you so desire).

So... who would be interested?

For me it will depend on several things such as what happens with my brakes/wheels/tyres etc over the next couple of months, so no answer just yet

Do you think a super stock ZRE would cope?

It would cope but be limited in it's abilities. But that's no reason not to head out there. Just bear in mind that depending how you drive, your brakes and engine will be given quite a workout.

Would a fresh pair of bob jane all rounders last a day at the track. I dont wanna have to splash the cash just to go tracking. Plus it would be my first time, so I wouldnt be going hard out.

They would probably last well more than the day. At least you will learn where the limits of them are.

Thanks for reviving this SD. I was going to do so today but work was riding me.

I'm still going to go on one of those days so what about everyone else?

Depends if I can get my car up to speed.

If not... Lexus or HSV instead.

As this day is quickly approaching, I wanted to know a couple of things to rest my mind.

With the forms, do you complete them before hand or complete them there?

What are the clothing requirement/Safety requirements and what is the most simple way of preparing your car for track use?

Also, never been tracking before, if there are faster cars on the track, what is the deal with giving way and overtaking? I'm pretty noob towards it, so some insight would be great. Thanks guys :D

^ lol

At this stage the Camry won't be in shape for a QR run. I'll see what other vehicle I can procure for the day.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
