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.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
