I don't have my CAMS licence yet?

membership pack hasnt come yet.. am i able to watch on the sideline?

Alex,,,I have forms I can bring for your Cams Licence. I think I can also verify that you are a paid up member of the club if thats what you mean by "membership pack" but Shell would need to have it.

If you want to drive and there is a spot left I can help you.

Yes you are allowed to watch on the sideline,,,,but I'll bet Oran park will charge money to get in,,,hope I'm wrong

eep. i think i'll pass on the racing, i'm 17 and on my L's.. i don't think my gts25 would hold up against anyone lol. just probably end up paying for damages. i've paid and stuff, but the fax is down atm and i can't send my app..

although i'm still intrested in the forms, that'd be appreciated if oyu could bring them. also i can be camera man hehehe

Alex, i just spoke to Neil and if your money goes thru tomorrow (just checked and it's not there yet) I can give you a membership number..... so you'll be a member, even if u havent got the card etc yet.

but you'll have to check with Abo Bob as to whether it's possible.. you might be too late i dunno..

Alex,,,thats all cool mate, No probs maybe next time. The fact your 17 and an "L" plater is great, Means you'll get more help from all the experienced drivers we have. The last thing we want is you trying V8 Supercar stuff on the the street. By all means come out and have a look,,,stick your head in garages and say hello,,,none of us bite. Oh and whats the problem owning a GTS25, you might just kick some butt you didn't think you could,,,.

hehe excellent. yeah i dunno. my car is already damaged... and not tuned.. i hope i can race it one day.. i will have a look and stuff. get to know someo f the guys and girls.

Shell i deff sent money. i've got all documents i can scan and send to you via email. i'm in no rush so it's all good :devil:

Sorry Abo Bob Adam about the fire extinguisher thing I'm very disorganised :devil: I'm lucky to have Wil to help me otherwise I probably wouldn't have my car.

Just wondering if we use the front entrance or side entrance?

you guys are some lazy mofos making adam make you brackets! it's easy and takes about 10 mins tops and cost about 3 bux. hell i even posted pics that show you how to get it done! he is too good to you guys.

specially lazy considering I did my own lol

I have a stupid question. If you're bringing a second car full of tools and water etc. can you park it near the "track" car without any issues or will the oran park guys be fussy about it?

Thats not a stupid question, and yes you can park them quite close together, so dont be worried about that

Side entrance.

Spectators don't have to pay to get in. Oran Park just charges for the drifting because they are profiteering @#$%@#.

If your coming anyway Ando, might as well bring it but it wont be any use after about 8:30am.

MR331307 - sending a pm now.

Not that it wouldnt be worth it, and im not trying to stop spectators.....

I was at a UAS day not long ago and there was a tool standing at the gates charging people

I assumed he was from OP, but maybe he was from UAS?

Yes, he was from Oran Park.

Spectators, bring $10-15 to get in or be prepared to be pi$$ed off.

Oran Park is charging for people to watch small trackdays.

You'd think they'd be (the track owners) more generous, seeing as they made around 800 million dollars selling the pastoral land the track is built on :D:(

hang on. if we hire the track we should be able to charge, or not charge as we see fit. unless we have made an agreement with OP management that they can charge admission to our track hire?

perhaps if they are charging SAU should get a cut. and have anyone that shows a current membership card be admitted free of charge.

My thoughts exactly

Someone should confirm this today with OP and RENEW

Its just not cricket :(

Its like changing the track hire price after the deal has been done, but just charging different people the extra amount

Wha Da??!! Charge to get in..... WTF!!!

As eveyone has stated....SAU has paid for the track, so why should OP then go and make more ontop by charging admin fees, with none of this profit going back to SAU!! bah

Maybe if u show a members card, free admin, but either way, i strongly disagree with this possible spectator fee!!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
