....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.

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!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
