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

Look at it this way if your planning on doing 200k plus a helmet aint gonna do jack anywayz coz i doubt your head would still be attached to your neck after an impact at that speed!

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.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
