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.

The only tack days i've ever been to are Circuit club ones.. or open daysat wakie!

Agree with Ray on all the above :)

They are an awesome bunch of guys and the days are always very well organised!! Plus you get freebies like water bottles and stickers etc... plus the prizes! :) Last one i went to i won fastest rear wheel 6 cyl.. got 10% off brakes! (yes i had to show off a lil and add this line in) :stupid:

Circuit club also don't charge for spectators, which I feel is very important. Spectating is a great way to be introduced to track driving as a whole, introduced to a track if you haven't driven on that particular one, or introduced to how a particular organisation runs a track day. Some people (such as myself) err on the cautious side.

Spectating is great promotion for the company, because once the people see how fun it is, they'll want to enter nexttime.

e.g. I was thinking about spectating at the sau drift day, but i was turned away by the entry fee.

I was with ray at the last circuit club trackday spectating, and the day was run very well. Much better than initial drift trackdays.

Somethings that I observed were:

The people there are very nice people. They are genuine car enthusiasts, and are willing to help you out with advice/fix your car if it's broken etc. There aren't really many bogans driving shitboxes out there, so it's fairly safe. Having said that, there was a crazy person driving an s2000 that kept spinning, but everyone else was very sensible.

There are no bogans on the hill spectating like at initial drift events. Also, initial drift charge you for spectating

The organisers of the event are very friendly, and speak nicely to you, considering YOU ARE THE PEOPEL WHO PAY THEM! In contrast, at the intial drift trackday, you get some nazi speaking to the group like you act stupid, I send you home, you spin out, I send you home, you crash someone, I send you home. There is no need to act all tough making himself look like a penis head, when that stuff is common sense, and it really detracts from the experience.

LOL... i take you dont really like Initial Drift that much. aswell as $10 entry fees.

I've been to their EC track day last August. The day ran very smoothly and they were also very quick to update the participants with the official timing results via email after the trackday.

I would recommend their track days to anyone who would like to have a bit of fun at trackside. (the availability of driving instructors was pretty generous with 1~2 instructors available all the time)

well it looks like I'll be coming to this one. I was supposed to be running in the state super sprints round 2 this weekend but the entry list filled up fast and I missed out :huh: gutted.

BUT this day should take the pain away :D

bring me a 6 pack for after. lol.

Car should be going nicely. >_< and If I really pull my finger out I'll be able to fit my 34 GTR brembos in time. but I think I might just run my current set-up for this day.

yeah, light intermittent showers wont call it off, but if it's raining heavily with no sign of clearing and standing water on the track they will call it off.

so who was there today flying the SAU flag? I woke up this morning, saw the weather and decided to give it a miss. I'm a bit pissed as I was supposed to run at EC on Sunday for the super sprints, but got bumped out, and it was raining, then thought, oh well, I'll do the circuit club day, and again, raining. So I'm dead keen for either an EC day or an Oran Park GP day sometime in the next 2 weeks.

who's with me?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
