Ok guys, ill get straight to the point

Im very keen (and i know there are others aswel) at doing a track day at phillip island. Now the calander for the year is looking pretty good. I want to go down a few times this year, and the first trip will be in april, reason is there's 2 opportunities to do PI in april!

I had planned to include Winton in the first trip but they wont allow us on the 11th. They will allow us on the 25th though

Each option has advantages over the other, mainly being option 1 is cheaper and easier on the cars, but option 2 has more track time and includes winton instead of DECA

Option one: PI and DECA

Friday the 11th april; Meet at the usual spot and cruise down to shepparton, get drunk

Sat the 12th april; compete at DECA (wrx club version, not SAU), then drive to PI (its like driving from syd to wakie), dinner, get drunk

Sun the 13th April; PI open day

Mon the 14th April; leave and drive home

option two; Winton and PI

Thursday 24th April; Meet at the spot and drive to Winton, get drunk, sleep

Friday 25th April; Winton open day, afterwards drive to PI

Saturday 26th April; PI day one (open practice)

Sunday 27th April; PI day 2 (sprints)

Monday 28th april; drive home

Now there is one further option, meet friday the 12th at the spot, drive down, saturday DECA, sunday come home, but as we've done that a few times i think it would be nice to have the extra thing to add to that trip

For those of you who know the sauvic guys they will most likely be at the track with us if we do option 2 (as they're all track whores)

On the last deca trip a few people (who will remain nameless) made the trip "not as good as it could be" for others, so a friendly and positive attitude is a must :wave:

So please have your say, then ill make the arrangements so it can happen :)

ONLY POST UP IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT ATTENDING

Steve,

Option 2 would be in the Anzac weekend so being a long weekend the freeways etc might get a bit busy?

I am keen as, however April is a busy month for me with work.

Guys - for those who havent done a road trip for a motorsport event, I say you gotta do it!!!

the Vic guys are really friendly and it is a nice cruise drive down.

How about option 3?

Skyline Nationals July 26-27?

Friday Night Welcome Dinner - Venue yet to be confirmed.

Saturday Morning Registration - Function Room, Sundowner Park Lake Motel. Start 8.00 Am, Finish 10.30am.

After Registration head accross the road to show and shine and the Victoria Park Lake. Pricing same as last year. $5.00 to Park, $20.00 to Park and Judge. Lions club will be there again, and so will the merchandise stand. We need 6 people to help with registrations and organising cars for the show and shine. Cars must be parked by 11am. This event will go until 4pm.

Saturday night is your to do what you want, same as last year (ie Drunk as skunks!)

Sunday.

Winton Sprints and regularity events. Will be checking whether we can have drift. but this IS NOT likely. We will be hiring Flaggies and Marshalls, so your input is limited. Lions club will be there with the hot food again, as well as the merchandise tent.

This event is going to be very expensive to run. You will require either a CAMS L2 or a AASA Licence to compete at Winton. AASA Licences will be available on the day for weekend pass pricing - $20

To get this event paid for, we are looking for some early bird payments.

To compete at Winton:

Payment by the 31st January 2008, $135.00

Payment by the 31st March 2008, $150.00

Payment by the 15th July 2008, $165.00

Payment on the day $190.00.

There will only be 60 spots for this event. All model Nissans/Datsuns are welcome on the Winton Track day.

Sunday Night - Presentation Dinner - Venue yet to be confirmed. Expect Pricing around $50.00 per head plus drinks.

Monday Morning - Farewell Breakfast. Pricing yet to be confirmed, expect around $15.00 per head.

Anzac weekend :P

i gotta parade through the city ....

damn id love to come!

Stevo, you know i'm keen for timing a DECA in one of my trips back over, unfortunately April will prob be too early for my first trip, any ideas on when the next one is? Augustish?? I'd definately be in on something then...

DECA is an event in Sheperton in VIC.

SAUVIC hold it 4 times a year (I've won it twice for the NSW team!)

Its a motokhana/autocross style event and is cheap motorsport.

Besides your car....

tyres if you have dedicated tyres for competing

tools

money

beer

etc

Id really love to do DECA again, I just cannot get time off - I do though, reccomend it to ANYONE here.

Not 4 times anymore, more like 2 per year

mind you though if you win it for NSW twice in a row, you are the champion of the universe!!

(like me!!!)

Honestly - it is a long weekend with all the driving....but what you get upto and the racing etc - it is awesome!!!

The SAUVIC guys treat you like family!!! I just wish I could get the time off :D

What would the overall price for option one be? (Ballpark figure)...

Roughly for the first option;

Petrol for the way down $80

DECA entry $75, petrol usage $20

Accomodation is under $30 each night

PI $200ish

Petrol for the trip back $80

Plus whatever food and drink you want

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
