All,

Last year I assisted the Nissan club by driving some young and underprivelaged kids around Oran Park North cct for a few hours. THIS IS NOT A TRACK DAY! You will be driving kids as young as 5 around the track and limited to 80-100Km/hr.

If you are able to assist, please PM me and I will send you the entry form and sup regs.

Please see the below link for more detail.

Thanks

so do you actually need to have a cams licence? or can you get a day licence?

I haven't really researched into the way cams licencing works.

No one day cams licence will be available for the day, again this is not a race day so there will be no CMAS officials available. If you dont have the L2S book you cant drive. Sorry

I will be marshalling for half the day, and driving for the other half.

Given my lack of turbo, I'll probably drive in the afternoon where the heat won't affect my car as much.

Look forward to marshalling for you again. :laugh:

OK,

Looks like its just me and possibly Steve, my work mate with the white WRX wagon. Pitty we could not get more people involved.

Thanks anyway Oz

Paul I followed the link and read the information, it sounded to me as if they head to many cars last year and "marshalling was a problem".

I would love to do something for the kids but tell me from your experience, would I just be getting in the way. (you know I get uncomfortable in crowds unless I'm p155ed and there is a live rock band)

Perhaps on the South Circuit, where the race cars and the bigger street cars (like the Lamborghinis) were running, but I was marshalling at the North Circuit, where the street cars ran, and we ran like clockwork. There was a pretty good turnout of cars. Not massive, but at the same time we didn't have people queuing half way back past the dirt course either.

Paul's GT-R was pretty popular with the kids if I remember correctly (The Wiggles in the CD player notwithstanding), as was the Ferrari 360 Spyder F1 that also ran for a half a day.

Liz, if you want to do some non-car related assistance we'd really appreciate it as well. I realise its not as glamourous as driving, but every little bit helps. Even helping to load and unload some of the kids from the car, given that some are movement impaired, would be really helpful. Otherwise, come do some flagging.

Bonkers,

Last year I turned up and drove about 20-30 Kids round the nth cct, 3 laps each time. Had to go by 12pm to take Bailey home who was still on 1 yr old. Felt like I did my bit, so please turn up, as I have had no feedback on numbers. Worst case we have a couple of beers and head home early. Call me to discuss if needed.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
