I just want a dry day so I can post some real times :P

I think something that could make the list a little interesting is, if its known, post the 'at the wheels KW' the car is running. Might put a litte different perspective on the list. . . . .

Where are the mods making this Sticky???

Times do tell the story. I have thought about a dyno day for the track day to put rwkw next to lap times for interest.

maccattack - There may be some full days in the pipeline for this year :P

I think we have run out of forum glue to make this thread sticky :D

This has probably been asked before many a time. But, I am trying organise me and some friends to come to one of these track days and they are all asking me about insurance, costs licences etc. please can someone confirm the following

Insurance does not cover you if you crash on the track ?

you do not need a Cams liscence ?

its somehting like $110 for the day.

sb..

Generally your insurance does not cover you on the race track. Read your policy carefully or call your insurer.

You don't need a CAMS license as we run under the AASA, which we buy a public liability insurance policy from.

You need to have a Qld Raceway annual license which is $55. You require this to do any motorsport out there.

You need a helmet and long sleeve non flammable clothes.

Your car needs to be in good working order with no fluid leaks etc.

The cost is $120.

If you want to book in a group of mates, send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you all the details.

i disagree, the times will say all they need to

I disagree Michael! You have just finished a major power upgrade if the bits you are selling are any indication. Having spent some money doesn't make you a better driver, it just makes the car faster!! Putting two drivers in the same vehicle is the best way to judge ability. Unless the people know what your car is able to do, they will think YOU are better, not just poorer for having spent dollars on your car!!!! KW tells most of the story. :)

you were making more power than me on the trackday in march

what did the times say?

One lap your time was better than mine. Most laps, you were behind by 2+ seconds. A rematch is in the cards soon. Patience little man, all good things for those who wait. (GTR is on the docks! )

Sounds like you guys need a complete solution for this dispute. You could have a system based on not only best lap times on the Sprint, Clubman and National circuits (weighting more on the shorter circuits due to less dependancy on power) but also a consistency segment, maybe discard the fastest and slowest lap time for the day then calculate the distribution of times.

Also, for those who came, how good was that video Brett did of last years track days !!!

Oh yeah, what about the Willowbank times?? Did I forget to mention them??

nah i was faster remember

and what are you talking about i was 2 seconds faster than you on sprint

EDIT: haha, just checked the spreadsheet from the march trackday, my worst time in the sheet was equal to your best. nice try oldman. :)

and paul, the video rocked :)

Hey guys, Track Day is only 3 weeks away. Time to get booked in, a bit short on numbers at the moment. I've put the 5 groups up on:

If you want a full SAU group let me know and I'll move some cars around.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
