Came across the Circuit Club web site the other day and noticed they were having a track day on ANZAC Day coming up. Anyone have any experience with these guys or their events?

I haven't actually been to a circuit car club day yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about them from people on SAU and quite a few of the NSCC guys attend these days aswell. So I figured they must be a good thing!

I believe that they'll also have driving instructors on hand to give tips etc.

I've already booked in for the ANZAC day track day, it's shaping up to be a good one! You should come along!!!!

All the trackdays i usually go to are with circuit club, can't be pleased more with there trackdays

-Timing is included (free of charge)

-Cars are split into groups A B C D usually 10-15 cars per group so the track isn't overloaded with cars at one time

-Lockup Garages(Use to be provided at wakefield but ithink this is no longer available since the new owners of wakefield park) - free of charge

They usually have a few guys that can show you the lines and braking points for beginners.

Prizes to the fastest guys of the day

Also their days are usually on weekends or public holidays if you intend on going book 3-4weeks in advanced because by the last 2 weeks they are usually sold out.

If you go with these guys you won't be disappointed, been around for YEARS a very well organised group.

I have been to one of their track days at Wakefield. Well organised event, plenty of track time, official timing included and a pretty friendly group of people. The day I was there, there was a good range of different cars such as Intergras, WRX's, a few Skylines and 200's, even a Ferrari and a kit car.

I would definately go again.

Liz.. last time i went to wakefield after my turbo upgrade..

i ONLY got 2 LAPS per session!!!.. stupid car was overheating.. hitting close to 120degrees after 1 warmup and 2 hard laps..

i NEED A OIL COOLER before i head down :D but i'm so tempted to put the funds towards camshafts for more power ahaha

previously at least i got 3 hard laps with my old turbo which is alright.. so i'm out for the meantime..

I've done a lot of Circuit Club days.

I quite like them. They have instructors on hand (in case you need it, and depending on your insurer you can say its driver training and so probably be covered under insurance), and most of the attendees are sensible. You get the occasional hero (like the idiots driving the Accord Euros at EC earlier this year in the "novice" session that decided to try passing people around the outside of Turn 1) but generally people are well behaved.

I should be at the next EC day.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
