some_cs_student Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 especially when it's going to be 35 degrees think that Royal Purple 5w30 will be up for a 35 degree track day? do we have to have our own helmet, or can we borrow one on the day? Glad I'm using 5w40 , just watch your oil temperature and if its getting too hot its time for a break You normally bring your own helmet, you can ask Kevin if you want to hire, I don't know how many helmets he has.

SS8_Gohan Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 true, but i'd rather use a full synth 3w50 than a semi synth 5w40 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/206023-trackday-sandown-15th-march-our-cheapest-ever-trackday/page/3/#findComment-3711403 Share on other sites More sharing options...

arep3 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 last time i did this we had a few hot laps and a cool down lap. then more hot laps. until somebody decided to dump their sump all over the track! just check all your gauges esp temps and have a great time. Make sure you have a sump plug not a spark plug and make sure its tight! :laughing-smiley-014: if im free ill come round with the camera for some happy snaps.

SS8_Gohan Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well yes, you should be using good quality fully synthetic oils I might see you at the track day? sorry, that came out wrong. i was thinking in my head, and forgot to type, that i've changed an order from 5w40 castrol syntec (not full sythn) to Royal Purple 5w30 (full synth) be informed it should be ok, but never hurts to have some opinions. Yeah dude, def see you at the track day! I think it's fair to say we've both been running around like idiots getting our cars ready I'm still got some fluid changes and brake pads to go, and i should be semi happy bout my prep. How's your car coming along? i "think" we also did a driver training day together as well.

SS8_Gohan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 from the Kevmeister "Hi Daniel We only have one or two helmets available on Saturday, it would be best if you brought your own helmet." in case people were banking on borrowing one, probably best to bring your own cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/206023-trackday-sandown-15th-march-our-cheapest-ever-trackday/page/3/#findComment-3715825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, we may have done the driver training day together, I'm terrible with names No brake pads so if I can't do too many hot laps then I won't. Brake fluid I haven't done, I'll get my car back tomorrow evening so I'm going to get it and do the brake fluid change tomorrow night (so disorganised). Do you know how much fluid I'll need?

So much to do, so little time. lol tell me about it, I worked 4 12hour 3-3 shifts this week, then in the afternoons have put in an oil cooler (which ended up having to be totally custom fitted), ally radiator and new rotors....bedtime now I thinks, see you all tomorrow Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/206023-trackday-sandown-15th-march-our-cheapest-ever-trackday/page/3/#findComment-3721106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadget1382 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Had a great day... just have to load the photo's up... Anyone get pics of my Gazelle? The Silver one with the orange engine bay The silver R33 GTR was NUTS!!! There seemed to be more than a few Skylines there all doing rather well... It was interesting to see the different stages how the different cars went. Great day besides the heat...

SS8_Gohan Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 A bit late, but just wanted to say thanks to Kev and the crew for putting on a great day. Plenty, plenty of track time, great instructors, lots of drinks Highly recommend anyone wanting to get into this sort of thing to go to one of these days. It was my first real "track" day, and was a great way to start out. Nice to meet some of the sau peeps as well Gareth, Kyle. Kyle, i thought you had a GTR, what's the go dude! (just the beginning bit) thanks again guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/206023-trackday-sandown-15th-march-our-cheapest-ever-trackday/page/3/#findComment-3734773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
