Hi Guys and Girls,

There has been some stirings in the shadows from a few of the original Team Trackday members and it seems that there might be enough interest to get a day going.

Of course this day, as was always the case way back when, was aimed at a few things, first was giving our cars a good old run around the track, fast as we felt was in our limits. The second was to get some of the more experienced guys in the car with the newbies to help with their lines and give them some pointers.

Of course there was always a few amber ales to be consumed after the day with the usual chit chat about how we blew away a V8, or did a PB, or just really had a heap of fun in a controlled environment.

The best turn out we ever had was 29 skylines... which was great for that day, however if we are going to run a day I would be looking at 60 cars to float the event... especially if we are going to Eastern Creek.

I may be able to scrounge a few from the drift freternaty if we need a few extras, but to see if we are even going to get close lets guage some interest here. Basic details are below.

Day: will most likely be a weekday, historically Thursdays, but we will see. reason is because it is so much cheaper during the week.

Cost: Depending on where we go I would be guessing that it would be around $200 to $250 allowing for inflation.

Other details to be firmed up as we go.

Also, ask any questions you like, I should be able to answer most of them I think.

Talk soon kids,

Dan.

Since Moto dropped off the scene last year, I went and purchased an $80 L2S licence + the $25 SAU Membership.

Private practice days at EC are $120 a day. They have been great. The next L2S day is Sat 25th Feb, but weekends are ridicules because there are 30-50 L2S's getting on the track at once. Last time I went I did not get any real track time, too many idiots and too many slow ass cars.

The next one after that is the 27th May, again another Sat. Im hoping EC will slot a couple of other in at late notice.

Only other option is a wakefield day?

I'll take annual leave just for this!

EC is the better option but to many slow cars (ie. N/A MR2's) out there is a problem.

Wakefield is a good option as SAU could hire out the track as a private function but the distance could be a deterant for some members.

Keen as mustard as the Cefiro should be track prep'd in a month :P

but can someone give me a rundown on what is required for a L2S cams license?! Does the car need to be checked....or simple as turning up on the day and purchasing one ($80)....

Cheers in advance dudes!

purchase one now. you need to be a member of a cams affiliate club, then fill out the form on the cams website and send it in with your credit card details. they will post you the licence. i wouldnt wait to do it on the day, as you will need a club official there to do it.

You know........... The lack of trackdays organised through SAU has been a major factor in my putting off buying a "track bitch" for the past year...

I honestly hope this event takes off with a bang and Team Trackday is revived to it's full past glory :P

Come on you pompous little pansy prick pillow-biters!!! The "fully sik" cruises don't make me miss owning a Skyline, but regular track days DEFINITELY would!!

well andrew! the NSW supersprint series is about to start. I am trying to run all rounds this year, and am now fielding a team! :P so buy that track bitch and bring it on... :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
