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 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.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
