Hi Guys,

The next Track Day is on July 4th. I am running two half days as follows:

8:30 to 12:30 Morning Session: $110

1:00 to 5:00 Afternoon Session: $110

8:30 to 5:00 Full Day $180

You must arrive early as there is now full scrutineering of vehicles. All details in my emails.

I am going to have 4 groups of 10 cars this time to keep the track time maximised.

If you want to join the track day group PM me your email address and I will send you out all the info, rules etc.

For those who have come to the last few events you will be excited (I was anyway) that the timing gear worked perfectly on June 6. It seems (touch wood) that the gremlins have been sorted out.

Paul

So whats the go with having someone that knows what they are doing (ie instructor of some sort)?

I remember you had it organized last time, but due to numbers or something they had to pull out?

Id be interested if something like that could happen, even if its just someone whos there on the day anyway.

We have guys like Maccattack and EVOCam who put in great lap times. I'm sure these guys and our other gun drivers would be happy to talk about what lines to take etc during the day.

Are they allowed to be in the car while driving tho? I dont mean to be a pain.

Additional costs would just be $55 fer a CAMs licence fer a year and the maintainence of your own car...i just did my first track day on june 6th organised by mountainrunner and i recommend it strongly fer anyone who wants to have some good healthy fun with their cars out on the track...i went there without really knowing anyone but made a few friends and even had advice from a couple of guys who go to the track regularly, best way to learn is to go out on the track and drive...

I had all my fluids and oils checked before track day too..Make sure u have enough meat left on yer brake pads and thread on yer tyres, and brake fluid too....i flushed and filled up with Motul RBF600 just before track day and by the end of it, my brake fluid tank went from max to half...i pretty much exhausted my front brake pads and wore my tyres quite a bit on track day... but that was with getting about 30laps on the day..Last thing u want is to go to track day and end up not being able to enjoy driving on the actual day cuz of problems that could be avoided/rectified before it.... :dry:

Pity i cant make this coming track day...but put me in fer the next one in Sept! Cheers~

I'm going to be at this one... First chance to give the rb25 /32 a proper workout. Should be fun to mix it with the 33's with the same engine.

john: you need a QR license ($60 or so per year) and petrol, but that's the only other cost.

Try some of the big bike shops ard...like star yamaha n so on...i think HJC has some of the better helmets in the cheaper range...like i saw a few going fer below 200 brand new, full faced n australian standards approved and some are SNELL too, also check out AGV, the arai and shoei all go fer at least 500 onwards or thereabouts. U could also check e-bay fer some good 2nd hand buys, as long as the helmet has no scratches and has never been dropped before, with the structure intact, it could still be a good buy...just make sure u get a helmet which fits snugly....lol i was doing lotsa homework on helmets before so i hope my input helps... :(

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
