Due to the war, we are not allowed to use their runways :P

However Linfox owns a racetrack near Anglesea, which is also supposed to be good, if you guys are still up for doing it there, I will go ahead with it.

Sorry about this guys, but when we spoke with em yesterday, they said no worries, but today(because of the bullshit war) they have turned it down :D

I will  leave the list below as is, if you have changed your mind about it now, please let me know via pm or in the thread itself

So far, I have the following people wanting to come:

so f1 racers and the v8 racers etc etc just wear them for looks? or is it to hide that they are talking on the fone? or that they are really all robots in disguise?

Thats millions of dollars of safety tech we don't have in our cars so you gotta remember that.. but one helmet is better than no helmet!

Anyway, the idea its a big open place, so nobody hits anybody. All i'd be worried about is somebody rolling.. but i assume there will have to be some ground rules and the like to keep it as safe as possible.

Well what i'm saying is that yours and my cars arn't exactly F1 or V8 Super Cars are they, lol. You dont watch the news and see those cars torn in half etc? What i ment is your helmet wont do much if your car is the size of a tin can and your still in it eh! :P But yeah Helmet wouldn't hurt.

How long is the straight? We will need at least 2 miles for a high speed run.

Has anyone organising this event thought about liability insurance. I belong to a car club, and whenever a public event (like this one) is organised insurance is a priority.

Al, you won't get a straight 2 miles long on any race track AFAIK - an airport runway maybe but not a race track!

For reference, Sandown's Length of Main straight: 491m

Calder national full-track, Length: 2.28km [straight is possibly up to 1000m at a guess]. From motorsport.com.au "Calder Park also boasts the longest drag racing strip in Australia"

I wouldnt mind knowing how long Avalon airstrip is

/more researching/...

Excerpt from Avalon Airport Australia AVA

A new era for Avalon dawned in April 1959 with the Opening of the Qantas Jet Training Base established for the introduction of the Boeing 707. The airport underwent significant development for this purpose and included an extension of the runway to its present length of 3,048 metres (10,000 ft) in 1972 as a precursor to the introduction of the Qantas' B747 fleet. Avalon remains a location for Qantas training, aircraft refurbishment and maintenance today.

Thats possibly the longest we are going to get in Oz / Vic.

Yes, but how are we going to get in there? Looked on the web and there is 24kms of all sorts of roads including high speed areas etc...

I am sure LinFox doesnt own Lang Lang PG!

Anyone got a good contact @ holden / hsv?

...My Dad [R.I.P] used to know Peter Brock...

when u hire the airport out i am sure u r gonna have to sign some legal document so incase sum1 dies (touch wood) or smashes their car or sumthing they cant sue the owners of the airport!

And if u get cover for like 30 cars it will cost about 20 grand or so, thats what stopped the other track day we had planned at shepperton about 1 year ago.

Double check all the details.

If its in writing and signed by the responsible parties [ie everyone involved] it will be legal.

Our current insurers have a disclaimer that makes your cover null and void when you "race" your car...some will allow it for an extra premium but not many [and the cost is huge]! I have heard stories of some people removing their number plate for track days - just in case :(

I would assume that if someone damaged my car, being their fault, they would pay for repair, otherwise you can count me out! If I damage someone else's car I pay - its that simple.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
