$55, so why do I pay $150 (plus $97/year) for the trackskills nights?

Probably because trackskill need to hire the track etc. If the NO Limits club had more people consistenly then the price will come down. Thats why we want more people to come along and enjoy the event.

WASCC membership (Silver membership) is $210 for the first 12 months (Plus nomination fee of $50 in the first year).

You get:

Free admission to ALL club race meetings including V8s & SuperTrucks. (& drift stuff)

Access to drive on the circuit in your road car at club tuning days for a nominal fee.

Participation in motor sport as a driver.

Minimum level required for CAMS competition eligibility.

Voting rights.

Ability to nominate ONE immediate family member or partner as an Associate Member. *

Ability to nominate Junior Member(s).

Newsletter The Racing Line

Members' Key Ring

Access to McCrackan House at the V8s.

One FREE track hire voucher valued at $55 (not redeemable for cash).

Which is a pretty sweet deal - particularly if you have hung out in McCrackhead house when the V8's are in town & all the plebs are sweltering in the sun - err, like I was. Damn.

Anyway, you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club to get a level 2 license. I think the $12 for the No limits thingo covers it.

Thanks DJR81 for adding all the guff from WASCC.

$250 per year plus

$55 per all day track day session is very cheap compared to say the UK where 1 day at a circuit would cost you more than this offer for a whole year! There are about 3 or 4 trackdays per month throughout the year. I'd love to see a few more GTR's turn up at these trackdays.

Weekdays are generally quieter than Saturdays. On Saturdays, instructors will be on hand to sit with you and point out your crap driving technique. You will realise the lmitations of your car quite quickly!

I'll probably get there about 1-2pm on Sat (I'm busy in the morning). You can come up and have a look - No pressure to join or sign up. Sessions are usually 9am to 4pm.

I have a datalogit and laptop, if you have a power FC I can log some data for you (Bring a memory stick). I have a silver R33 GTR V-Spec Rego : 33 GTR

If your quick you should be able to reach about 220-230kph down the hill :D

Membership runs from Jan to Jan, they usually reduce the price of membership around mid year.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
