....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!

    • You now say stumble, but you said cut out before. Will it slow rev through the cut/stumble? What gap were your spark plugs set to when you them in?
    • I had double clamped all the pipes but I checked them over any way, everything tight and secure. feels and sounds like a electrical short/failure, as it is an abrupt and aggressive stumble, that instantly comes and goes right at 4k mark...like clock work fuel pump and filter are new new coils and plugs injectors where cleaned and tested 200 miles plus ago no black smoke cleaned MAF   same results, other ideas? some other sensor?  
    • Yes, just without the annoying use of the word hybrid. We stopped using that term 20 years ago when we realised it meant different things to different people. Even "highflow" can represent more than one way of achieving the goal of getting more flow out of a turbo. But at least it says what it does on the box.
    • OH, when they say "solid buckets", I always interpeted that as "shimless". (Which is not the same as the "shimness word I invented above to represent the same idea that the buckets act as shims also!!). Still the same problem though. So it appears that buying a "kit" from Tomei is a two step process. Makes sense. Doesn't make sense in the context of a "kit" though.
    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber
