I'd love to come to this, but Sunday is a bitch of a day!

I hate the thought of having to drive most of the day and then drive back to Newcastle!

You Sydney lot have it so easy when it comes to race tracks and track days, we can't even get the council to get their heads out of their arses when it comes to getting ours approved!

How come only 1 track day this year?

Insurance just way too much these days?

i will try and make this i reckon it would be good fun. Could do with someone with more experiance giving me some pointers :(

There will be heaps of experienced people there to take you out and look after you. This will be a very noob friendly track day with heaps of instruction.

There is a limit but it's a generous limit. No doubt 60% of the people in this thread who have posted up that they will come wont actually make it.

Yeah this is likely! Although the last few track days have sold out pretty comfortably from memory so there should be no hesitation when deciding whether or not to run the day IMO ;)

The other people that I really want there are the club elders, the guys with heaps of experience and fast cars. We need you guys to be our instructors.

I might be able to secure the services (not his car) of a Fujitsu V8 Support Series driver if your interested or you think he might be of some assistance.

I'll try to get my PNV back together for this.

Cheers, D

OK I reckon i'll be in on this, another track day n00bie so stick me in the n00bie group.

Will there be a group booking for accomodation for the sat night, or just organise it yourself?

I'm sure we'll manage to organise a group booking! Probably a bit closer to the date I assume.

I definately recommend staying the night though!!!

F'uck it... I'm in!

That's the spirit!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
