....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!

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
