hey guys this would be my first club sprint day, would I be better off signing up for the driver training? Will there be instructors at the track? Do I still get the same amount of laps? Sorry I was going to ask these questions on the WRX forums but it seems my username hasn't been activated yet.

I haven't done a circuit driver course either and don't want to be getting in everbody's way if I sign up for the sprints... am I being paranoid?

mate the best thing id to do the driver training cos then at least you get to see what the track like and not have the problem of some of the fast car come up from behind and you blocking them and them getting pissed .

so my advice would be to do the training.

Looks like there will be a few training so you wont feel out of place at all.

also if you need help with anything there are many people who will help.

how late can you sign up for this?

I havent recieved any info from SAU or CAMS regarding my licence i signed up for at the drift day last weekend, so dunno my CAMS LIC#, also have 2 things to do to my car to make it track ready, and dont wanna pay an then not be able to run due to not passing scrutineering.

if I'm not at this one, i'll be at the next one. Best I do DT first go too, as havent done a track day on 4 wheels before.

Its up to you but i dont think driver training is a must. Its not a bad idea, i took Snowman with me my first time out...it was really good as after listening carfully to every word he said i knew exactly what not to do :D

I think its a good idea as you at least get some pointers on the layout at the track.

And at the end of the day, even the seemingly simple things like how to turn the steering wheel, we are all different and whatever is comfortable to you...but there are some bad habits that ppl bring to the track which may catch you out at speed.

how late can you sign up for this?

When you paid SAU for CAMS license you would have got a CAMS 30 days receipt and that will do.

It is a wrx club requirement that you do DT if you have not done any track work previously.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
