That's correct, most people are flat past the tower. The quick cars (aka Skylines/Supras/Porsches) are usually 180+ there, with a slight lift/brake tap for the kink approx 200 metres further on.......

Giant's 32 would be better than 400 klm/h there I'd say.

400 ? typo ?????

and yea, im not gonna bother with lakeside till they have semi realistic noise restrictions =\ a stock HSV or anything with some grunts would prob be above 92 at the top of a gear going along that straight.

400? No, of course I'm not serious, just a sarcastic quip mate.

That's fair enough, but I don't think a stock anything would get pinged. The only one pinged the other day was a racing 993 air-cooled Porsche with open pipes. Johnnyo's 300+ rwkw Gtr wasn't bothered at all...... neither were HEAPS of other cars.

Went out for a private track day at Lakeside yesterday with about 20 other cars (M3's, Aston Martin, Porche, 6L supercharged holden ute, commodores, GTST, 200 SX, etc, etc).

Gotta say the track is awesome compared to QR. No cars had any problems with the 92Db limit. My car (no side pipe) was 82Db on the drive- by (and was the loudest too by the way).

Whilst there are a lot more walls and barriers around the place, it is a very rewarding track. Main straight is a blast although the "kink" can be a little unnerving at high speed.

If you have never driven the track before (as was with me), I can highly recommend it.

Start off gently, get a couple of sessions in and before you know it you are going twice as fast as you think you can through some sections.

Hopefully they will keep it open forever, great track.

Didn't do any stationary 5000rpm tests - just fly-bys and the occasional take off.

There were some pretty growly V8's and the likes - mine isn't exactly the quietest of cars either.

None of which exceeded the readings at all.

Hey,

New to the forums and new to skylines, Just brought my self a R34 GT-V and have been looking for somewhere I can let loose legally.

I know what some of you are thinking, WTF u doing wanting to race a NA skyline for? well you have to start somewhere. and I have big plans for having one of the most powerful NA skylines around.

Anyway, I live on the coast so Im not too far away from lakeside. what are the requirements to be able to take your car out on the track?

Thanks

Hi Grunta,

If you want to get into track days, sign up at www.TimeAttack.com.au click the Join Now button at the top right and fill in the details.

To do sprints you need a road worthy car, long sleeve non flammable clothing (100% cotton like jeans and long sleeve shirt), covered shoes and a helment.

You will also need to purchase an AASA license to do Lakeside or Qld Raceway which you can get from the track admin on the day for $55

Hey macca, the aston peaked at 94db on hard takeoff when the valves opened up, but was well under 92db on the main straight.

Cheers,

Shane

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
