I'm very keen to be attending as many of these rounds as I can in 2006, can wait to get out there, have some fun, an put my car through its paces!!

Just a few questions though to those in th know:

1: Have all the dates/locations been set for '06'?

2: the cams form i recieved with my membership has heaps of medical questions I cant really answer....Docter...dont really have a set one etc... does that bit have to be filled out?

3: Whats the general cost of most rounds? average fuel used for the day?

4: what class would I be in? Modified RWD??

5: A link to where I can veiw car and personal regulations (CAMS site im guessing)

thanks heaps for any help. Cant wait to display my TEAM WANG sticker proudly!! Gotta get one like on Snowmans rear window!

cheers

Cost is usually between $100 and $150 per track day. Fuel usually go through a tank or two. If you have semis or aftermarket injectors you'll be in modified RWD, otherwise you're probably in STD RWD... but this may change this year.

1. 95% yes. Just confirmation on the last Sandown due to horse races.

2. It goes into your cams license so they have it if you have an accident. I hope you dont have one but just in case fill it our as best as you can.

3. $110

4. NFI = whats in your car?

5. I'm probably t5oo drunk to understand that queation.

I think the cams card that we got with our membership isn't actually a cams membership, I think it's just proof of your eligibility as you have to be affilated for certain car clubs to be eligable to get your cams stuff... I think so anyway??

Guys - the "CAMS" card you received with your SAU Vic membership is not a CAMS license, they were just used to serve as your SAU membership card. I've been told this year there will be proper SAU membership cards for new members and renewals.

Being a member of SAU Vic entitles you to apply for a CAMS license. The competition license L2NS/L2S form can be downloaded directly from the CAMS website - http://www.cams.com.au/Content.asp?PageID=PaperForms

You post in the CAMS form and once it's processed you will receive the CAMS license card in the mail.

During registration on the day when you attend a clubsprint/track day you will usually be asked to show your CAMS affiliated club membership card, and also your CAMS license card.

Hope this helps :P

I have aftermarket injectors yes....so guess i'd be in modified, was only goin to run street tyres, but if i'll be in that class anyway, may aswell look into semi comps for my 17's.

Thanks for all the info so far!!!

any advice on what semi comp rubber is out there thats affordably good? or where might sell decent second hand ones?

best i find some good brake pads too..

Where can the 06 set calander be viewed? when/where's the first round?

Thats the wrong one! the one you are after should only be $85.

Snowy,

You now need to own a CAMS Manual, and you purchase that at the same time you get the licence. So the cost is likely around $131, as NateR31 indicated.

Berin,

Bridgestone RE55's will do the trick, they're not cheap though.

2006 WRX/SAU track day championship round dates are linked at the top of the events section.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98397

Will be good to have a few more cars in the RWD modified competitor class, including me B)

Wow...first round is nearing fast, best I download an apply for the L2NS/L2S licence fast. Might have to have a stab at the first few rounds with the old B/stone RE030 road treads unfortunatly, but i'm sure it'll be great fun!!

This will be the first time i've ever tracked a car (had a go at phillip island on an Yamaha R1 on slicks), so dont think i'll be hell fast, but i'll be having a hell good time!!!

round 1 at Calder Park...is there more info on that? what time you have to be there, when it goes till, is there a social get together afterwards?

Each event will have a document (called "Supplementary Regulations") setting out the requirements for the event - what you need, what your car needs, the format of the event, where, when, how, how much.

When the event is "open for entries", get hold of that document and READ it. Everything you need to know will be there.

Word of advice now - the event IS NOT A RACE. So there is no need to go out there and try and set a new outright lap record. If you haven't driven your car on any race track, particularly this race track, then please - TAKE IT EASY. Your car will handle differently than it does on the road, it will work the brakes harder than it does on the road. Take the opportunity to LEARN. There are no sheep stations at stake. You will not get laughed at if you tootle around letting everyone overtake you. You WILL get laughed at if you put the car into the wall at Turn 1 the very first time you get there.

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN

I just learnt that one of my good mates 21st in on the same night as Calder Park....BUGGER!!

Guess i'll be missing round number 1:(. I'm aware that it's more about having a fun day at the track than serious track positions (times) and that every track is different an neads to be learnt etc....

I dont want to crash my car more than you dont want to see me crash it :).

Thanks for the freindly advise Blind Elk.....It's what I would have done even if it wasnt mentioned. I am a mechanic by trade...so am well aware of the difference on the car track vs street driving does, an have been to many track days, just not driven at them. I'll be there to have a good time an yes...learn more about myself as a driver, how my car behaves, an how to become faster.....whilst being as SAFE AS POSSIBLE!!

shattered i can make it to round one :), more prep time for round two at the Majical Island!!!

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
