Update on the Skyline V Supra track day.

This has been sometime in the planning and it has not been the easiest thing to get going, so I’ll let you in on the current status. I’m taking holidays soon so nothing will get looked at until March now.

In short this will not happen in the March/April time period I had hoped, due to supplier issues. I am still hoping to offer a track day in the future. However all is not lost as the Skyline boys are very keen on running a Dyno day at ESP in early March (see ACT Skyline forum)

The reasons for the delay in running the track day are listed below:

Some of the current facts:

• With the increased price at Wakefield it would be unprofitable to run the day on a weekend.

• It will costs approx $6000 to run a day like the one we want.

• Every Friday was booked for the next 3 months, only one Monday was available in the same time period.

• There is a $500 non refundable deposit on a booking. I can’t offer a fixed date without a booking. As per above

• No supplier has been able to provide/confirm a total package that only costs $150 a head with between 40 and 60 entrants.

• Each supplier would like to receive a prepayment of the full amount before running a day like this.

I could run the day myself risking the entry fee etc, but if I did I would obviously want to receive the profits (if any) of the day (my money, my risk, my profits) But having a professional place run the day would encourage more people to attend and the idea was to give the clubs the ability to receive any profits made from the day.

I’ve been offered a session for approx $165 a head but 35 cars only. All payment would have to be upfront before I could set a date. This clearly will not work, people have lives.

Lame...

"I've been offered a session for approx $165 a head but 35 cars only." I am in lol

Now autosports have a weekend at wakefield, maybe its easier to get asmany people there as posible.

Do thye have official timing?

[Michele]

Do thye have official timing?

Yes, its pretty full on though, they seem to have too many cars there (60 I think)

I'd be all for only having 35 cars and having to pay extra, but is that with timing?

[Frink]

ditto...

[N1GTR]

Specs on the 26/30?

I wont put them all up but here's the rough idea:

26 head (well, duh)

rb30 bottom

forged rods

cp pistons

jun oil pump

tomei restrictor

r33 gtr n1 balancer

crank collar

sump baffles

cam baffles

gt42r (Slide built)

44mm gate

screamer

8.6:1 CR

With 23psi i should see a fu(kload of power and the 3L means nice down low drivability when tuned up

[N1GTR]

Id paymore for less people also

[Bullet32]

I'll still be in for $165.00, but I dont like the idea of a set date after Ive paid, what if I cant get time off work?

u'r insane....

[N1GTR]

lol

What exactly makes you say that?

Maybe there could be a few dates listed as options and then pay?

[hrd-hr30]

Yours is the stock height black one?

I was there watching you go round, your supra sounds really nice! What exhaust has it got?

yeah, I think I was probably talking to you on the day? Its got a JASMA system, but the front section including cat has been replaced since it arrived in Aus, presumably for compliancing. The Jasma muffler kind of fell to peices last weekend at QR anyway - all the stainless steel wool packing came shooting out of it on the track, and there's still some strands hanging out the tailpipe now... strangely it didn't get any louder!

if its far enough in advance, like july or something, that shouldn't be a problem would it???

Nah i didnt come over, but i did enjoy listening to it

Thats strange it didnt get louder!

Is it stock boost etc?

[hrd-hr30]

yeah, stock everything apart from pod, exhaust and jap spec Tein Super Street coilovers. Ran a 1:16.4 in the wet which I was fairly happy with for my first time there, and first time with the Supra on the track. Would like to go back there with a dry track. Trying to get my act together for their next day in March, but I want to bring my Datto track car down for that.

I was talking to someone from SAU down there who was thinking about buying a Supra, but I'm hopeless with names!

[N1GTR]

Yeah def not me, ive already got one

Is your manual? LSD?

Mines an auto

Looking forward to this day

[hrd-hr30]

manual, standard torsen LSD. The autos are alot cheaper which was tempting, but I particularly wanted the 6spd manual so i paid the price...

[N1GTR]

Fair enough

Upcoming Events

Date Cost Name Location

15-Mar-2008 $160.00 AUTOsports @ Wakefield Wakefield Park Raceway

And thats for 60 cars...

If we had less cars get more track time and its only 5 dollars more.

The only way to do it would be find a date that the track is free, get payment within a week and if its booked by then refund all money. (the date would have to be a fair while in the future...)

I would pay 165.
