hahah pete we saw yuor lock ups after trying to flat thru the kink.....skylines are just too fast to pull that trick off without great tyres.

but the mighty woos used to be flat thru there, led to some HGE offs there sometimes

sadly my balls are bigger than my skills ... thus the constant lock ups and spearing of the end of the track

but like all good drivers im going to blame teh car... :worship:

hi never done a track day but am interested,what would tyre wear be like on road tyres ,would i need a new set after the day?

slight mods with 290rwkw & ohlins suspension all round

not aiming to drive the tyres off it, but have heard that the track eats street tyres!

YLD CHLD,

For your first time out I would not worry too much about Tyres or Power, just dont turn up with shitty tyres as they are the only thing holding you on the road. If you put the recomended pressure say 36PSI you wont get any issues and maybe use 500km worth of tread and only do 200Km on the speedo. You are driving a GTR so endless wheel spin will not be an issue. Trust me you have many other things to learn and you car is well set up for a first timer.

guys this sounds great. I have been planning to do this sort of driver training/ track day for a while now. Never been on the track before though. Will there be at least some beginner level training with the instructors?

Overall the day sounds great ill arrange day off and send application if all goes well.

TutsR32,

Aaron or one of the other instructors takes all first timers out driving to show you the inital basics, you then get to drive with an instructor to apply the basics. First timers normally get as much instruction as they need. For example my wife had an instructor on her first day, every lap she did prior to lunch was with someone beside her. There will be more then enough.

No probs, please dowenload the application form and send it off and let me know once you have done it. Make sure you get yourself a hat before the day.

Everyone else please let me know once your paid up.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
