....buying a "track bitch" for the past year...
John @ UAS has nicknamed me the track bitch, but sorry i'm not for sale!

I won't be doing any trackdays until I have semi slicks, oil cooler, sump baffle, alloy radiator. So count me in for late 2007 :P

I'm a newbie to track days.

Been keen as to go on one since I got the 'line.

I'll have to get the licence and then I'm in for sure.

Would appreciate the help from the experienced guys

SBS (sump baffle syndrome) :lol:

I never ran a sump baffle on my last car. Just run road rubber and you'll be fine.

WOW! :0

So some of you are keen.

I spoke to EC today about some options and they are now running a very similar thing as Moto once a month, might be worth a try for newbies as instructors are on hand. I am fairly sure that for the L2S days you require a C4 licence to instruct, which I don't think any club members have? (Paul, correct me if I am wrong.) Also you only need a drivers licence for the drive days, but the cost is $250 a head, graded groups, Advanced, Intermediat and beginers. 20 min sessions. etc.

Anyway, keep the interest coming.

Dan.

Hahaha.

track bitch! track bitch!!

Just get the sump baffle and maybee alloy radiator.The rest can come late next year.Then you wil be able to take it out all you want.

As for heat issues it wont be the middle of summer when this event will prolly take place (crosses fingers) in april around easter week (crosses fingers again).Even then you dont have to thrash it like you stole it.Just ease your way into it and have fun.

Majanal im keen for a day and dont mind travelling to wakefield either cause its only like 2-3 hours, Just do what we suggested in http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...pic=41278&st=40 thread.

My only worries is that im getting my pc cams licence to race in the historics so if its around one of those rounds budget might keep me out but thats all. Should be able to make up one or two more numbers if non sau members are welcome.

benm, no need for alloy rad unless you are having cooling troubles at the moment. Oil cooler is definately at the top of the list though with the power you are making, and whilst sump baffles are a good idea, i wouldnt let them stop you going to the track. It just adds to the thril... lol "will this lap be the one it blows..." haha

...its the charades,

LOL...hey at least the Charade didnt bin in it at turn 8 :) ...and dont laugh, it seems a good driver in a Charade in the wet was quicker then me on that day :lol:

I have to say, i enjoy the Vic scene a hell of a lot. If you can afford you can almost track your car every 2nd weekend...but i do miss the drive days where you ran around like a made chook whoring rides in others cars...

Sprttn days dont accomodate that, and not as fun, and no way you get a 20min session like the drive days, at best you get an 8 minute session.

Ah Team Trackday, and beers at the cricketers arms... Merlis real R33 and Fatz driving a shielas car:D

my car is in that photo!! :)

im very keen for track day at the creek.

I was there when kebab went into the kitty litter, morgs was his passenger at the time - hahah !!

thats going back many years!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
