Hi Guys,

I have put the final running list up on the site:

http://www.timeattack.com.au/coming_trackday.php

I'll be at the MacDonalds Jindalee also, but at around 6am. lol

Getting all the final details together. Looks set to be a big day !!

See you all there.

Paul

So all it costs to enter is $20 a session? So you can participate for $40 for both events.

Or is there another price for the full day. Sorry if I am blind and have missed it!

Edited by zaffa

Yea you have missed it. lol.

The $20 is for the 'Shoot Out' event only. It is an extra event for those already doing the track day proper which is $120 for a half day.

Plus the event is fully booked out.

We are on the final count down now !!

Sorry sometimes I think my eyes are painted on! lol

Shall be interested in this when I get my license back, as it sounds quite good! Have you got dates set for next years track days. The time attack website doesnt seem to be working for me?

Thanks

If anyone else is interested meeting up to cruise out to the track, it at the Caltex opposite the Mazda and Subaru car yards near the bus depot at Toowong.

7am departure.

Come out with us Mr gilly or is that to late for you.

We are only spectators, but i spose if your racing you will have to leave earlier.

where the hell is jindalee? lol

Do you remember Amazons water park near there, take the exit just as you go over the bridge on the centenary Hwy. Maccas is up around the corner.

Bring some spare engine oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid & coolant...

Dont forget to bring a hand full of spanners and a few screwdrivers, althought ive never needed my tools at the track I never run the risk, just incase something does happen... Dont forget to bring food and drinks and your camera also...

Wow i wasnt expecting that reply. If something caused me to loose my engine oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid or coolant i think im gonna need a lil more than just a handful of spanners and a few screwdrivers lol. I guess its not a bad idea tho incase a clamp comes loose and needs to be tightened. My car is only lightly modified but i think my air/fuel ratio is like 10.5:1 at high revs so yeah it drinks. Plus the new fuel pump needs more fuel in the tank than stock so i'll take plenty of fuel just incase. Thanks for all your help leading upto 2morrow guys. Cant wait to meet u all out there!!

Yeah I always take a few spare fluids... You never know when you will need them...

Better to have them there and not use them, then to not have them and need them...

If you need a few spanners tho Ill be there, evryone know my car...

Was a great day, it was good to finally meet you guys.

I will definately catch up with you all at one of the Tuesday night dinners.

How nice was that GT2 porsche.

P.S. See you all on Sunday for the cruise..

Wholy crap, what a crazy day. I'm so exhuasted lol Thanks to all the event organisers. I learnt so much more today than i thought i would. For example driving on the track in street tyres is a bad idea, understeering through fast corners and over steering through slow corners doesnt do much for my time. It was however alot of fun counter steering at 160k's! I admit i was the slowest in the arvo session but from what i could see i was by a long shot the youngest. I'll get there one day, once i join the evo population haha

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
