I might be asking a dumb question but is that for heavy auto cars or everyone?? :(

hhmmmm.....

i dont know for sure how much the Stagea weighs, (Terminal will know), but i reckon it'd weigh around 1600kg.... like i said, thats just a guess :) . my brothers JZA70 Supra weighs around 1600kg and thats a manual, buts its also factory widebody :worship:

but generally speaking, 15-1600kg is a heavy car. (from my point of view anyway...)

good guess, 1660kg when i weighed it last. that didn't include the additional items i've installed. i'll probably only have 1 or 2 runs, i just want to know how it feels before i put my hi-flo in.

i'll take it for another run when the manual is in, then another run once the powerfc is in and tuned.

Put your seat more back :no:

Well its slid back as far as it goes and for me to fit the helmet in im that far back i look like im trying really hard to be cool :D.

What seat should i get that will really put me in it....like almost be sitting on the floor???

Brand/price etc??

Considering going depending on tax but can I get a idiots guide to their first track day? So far to get on my list is 2x20L jerry cans, anything else?

I see myself going to the track a fair bit in the future is it worth investing in a helmet and anything else?

Would an R33 GTR seat help me? Does anyone know how much lower that would be then a GTS-T?

EDIT: What about replica recaro seats...are they dodgy or decent enough for replicas???

Personally if I were investing in a seat just make sure it suits you and that its CAMS or FIA approved... Dont know much on the topic but I know some seats are so yeah...anyone wanna help?

I was just thinking where the fark am i going to get a helmet then i realised i ride a motorbike i will just use that one :P

hahaha either too much drinking or not enough? I cant remember???

So can anyone help me with what I need?

yea i wouldnt mind a what to take list as well... so far i have

- Required clothes eg jeans + long sleeve shirt + helmet

- Major service just done so everything should be ship shape

- Double & then triple checking brake fluid, pads and disc condition

- Will be organising a 5 or 10L jerry can to put some extra Petrol in.

Questions:

- I have heard you should put an extra 300 - 500ml of oil in if doing a track day can anyone confirm this if so i might bring along a bit of oil

- I discussed this with Jayce and Luke tonight but others opinions are welcome too :ermm: what would be a safe boost to run around the track with i was think 8 - 9psi some say more is fine but i would rather air on the side of caution if anything.

I've run around the track no problems.

Just bring what Wakefield tell you too and make sure your car is in good nick. Also, as Luke said, don't keep the car going hard for too long or shite will break. Take rest breaks for the car. Brake pads are probably what I keep an eye out for the most. As for petrol, if you'll be running the whole day then maybe take some extra, but you can always just drive back to Goulbourn (5-10 minutes) and fill up at the BP/Shell there. I personally have driven to Wakefield, done an afternoon of laps and driven back on one tank.

Just keep in mind that you drive to your limits, don't worry about faster people on the track as they will overtake you on the straights, just move to the side and ease off a bit to let them pass. I've seen one guy drive beyond his limits and he put his SS Ute into the wall (freak occurance but still....).

It is immensly fun however, so go and have fun!!

Leigh, I ran around the track at 14.7psi and had no problems, this however was during the colder months so keep in mind temps will be higher.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
