IN! :santa:

You guys are legends!! Lakeside is the perfect track to be flogging aound in a Skyline. Tell your mates, we need all the help the SAU can provide. Clubs from other Nissan models have also been really supportive and see benefits of claiming their northside track back.

QLD SAUers are a bunch of carpark cruisers.

all the photoshoot, coffee meet ups, dyno day events/threads gets loads of attendance/response/views, but to save a historic race track gets next to nothing.

it's the same group time and time again attending the QR time attack events, skidpans, street sprints, and what not.

where have all the 300rwkw, hks hypermax, gt wing, light weight volk racers gone?

i'll make my best attempts to be there work pending!

I will be there!!!

No need to point fingers Eug, you don't get to all the events either, but I understand the sentiment.

true, not saying everyone should attend every event.

any sort of reasonably half arsed effort from each member should get the ball rolling for the club in terms of moving on to bigger and better things.

just trying to gee these ricers up, that's all :santa:

they probably won't even bother clicking this thread to read it anyway.

I understand your frustrations, there's always a lot of apathy in all motorsport groups and that's one of the reasons we're so easily defeated by small groups of politically correct nut jobs imposing their lifestyle preferences on others. You'll never get everyone, but we have to get all the hardcore guys to attend.

However, one way to get people to get off the couch is to show them the benefits to them of taking action.

50% of the conversations on forums is people complaining about something and on car club forums, its usually about getting fined for speeding, defect notices or general police harrassment.

A dedicated facility such as a race track provides instant protection for enthusiasts from all these problems plus actually making the activities safer for themselves, the public and even their cars! NO gum trees to hit on the side of a race track.

If Lakeside was to get re-opened, maybe it could become a safe, harrassment-free location for all the "carpark cruisers" to meet!

Finally I think your point about most peopl not even reading the post is correct, just look at the thread numbers. So, you could engage in conversation with people you know in other forums and talk to them directly about Lakeside or give out some links to the thread. Just a thought.

Lakeside rocks compared to that boring arse QR. A far more technical track with the most wicked entry on to the main straight and a great selection of corners including some neg camber stuff.

The only thing it has in common with QR is the little series of unsettling bumps at the end of the main straight.

Like you Eug I struggle to understand what motivates the 5 kay back and shuffle crowd. (They drive 5 kays, back up and shuffle around) but in the end its their ride and they can do what they want with it. Why you would need big ponys for that tho is beyond me unless, heaven forbid....They are street racing. :laughing-smiley-014: Nah, Liners wouldnt do that. :P

agree with technicality of the track. i've never raced it, but i like the fact that it's a high speed track, and like you said with the off camber corners and varied elevation. definitely looks like it requires a bit more driver input and concentration than QR = fun!

personally think that QR is a fairly HP dependent track, where time is easily made by making more power.

i have 300rwkw... i'm cool yeah?*

i might use this track. but its a fair way away. but still im here to support.

sweet!

QR is the only track around. darlington park has been shut down, and the next one is morgan park (in warwick!)

*may or may not be true... most likely the later.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
