Hi guys here' the biggest laugh i've had on the track, took the line out to mallala on the 38degree heat and recorded my quickest time on street tyres 1'23".2, subsequently i was warned on the first lap that i was out of the gate too fast??? WTF why do we go to a race track??? then after a certain female evo driver complained to the officials that i was INTIMIDATING her by being behind her on the track (after she wouldn't pull over to the left side of the track) i was warned again for being too fast on the track WTF!!! no kidding i reckon those evo drivers are scared of us line drivers! man after i told the old geriatric official where to get off and i was using street tyres he told me i was going too fast and drifting, mate seems to me the evo boys had it in for me. heres a photo of me between 2 evo's the whinging chick is in front of me.

some you tube footage below

good work, obviously the evo girl was babying it around, its pretty simple if someone is on your ass and you feel intimidated move out the god damn way!

no shit!, we were briefed before we were able to go out and specifically told if someone is behind you let them pass! she had a little cry to the officials and they kicked me off the track!. if we cant use our cars on the track where the hell can we??

Yeh nice work mate, showed them........

As a person that is out at the track quite often with a few forms of racing, i under stand where they are coming from with the out of the gate issue, Its just common courtisy(and aparently track rules) that you DO NOT go out hell for leather on the first lap bacause of warming up tyres and car up to temp and so forth, with cold tyres and pushing hard can result in cars coming together, At the end of the day these sorts of track days come down to ONE lap time that is your best, and its certainally not gonna be your first. Besides you out there for FUN not racing for sheep stations!!

Glad you enjoyed the day when you wern't gettin reamed in the ass by officials!!

I can understand about warming the tyres up BUT when the track temp was 60 degrees i think that kinda puts that one to bed, but the officials had it in for the only RWD line on the track! no shit ive had it with sport politics! yes it was a fun day but after i gave them my previous lap times of 1'24" they still put me in the slowest group, maybe coz i have a RWD.

Hey Ax,

If had known that was you out there i would have come and said hello, was out there watching my three mates with two GTR's and Pulsar.

I had my 34 out there but did not put it on the track as it is not ready for that stuff as yet, especially with the temperatures of sunday.

Yeh i know what you mean about the temp and all, But rules are rules, and they cant just change it for one day!! was it the normal Officials or was it the EVO/GSR Officials?? See thats the problems with putting you in the slowest group.......... your gonna come up behind the slower cars......... Oh well, not much to be done about it now, maybe just head out to a normal Saturday prac day!!

yeah i spose but they were gunning for me from the start. will be keen on the next coolest prac day.

1.23 is respectable well done.

Who gives a shit about them thinking you were going "too fast" first lap out.

Thats debatable if a F1 car was lapping 1.23 first lap out no one would be saying it was going too fast for it's first lap out.

I must admit that it was hilarious to watch!!!!

Passing three cars like they were standing still going down the main straight was funny.

They never even had a chance. lol

yeah thanks that was with crappy re050 bridgeys, warm up lap on a 40degree day??? ha ha funny one.

yet another female in a mans world. if u cant hak it pull over an let the quicker ppl throw

here here if youre gonna play in a mans world play by mans rules! and dont go off crying to the officials that youre being intimidated.

f*k that would give me the shits..

few quick questions

Do i need to be affiliated with any sort of club to go out on these track days?

For the First time can i get a temporary CAMS licence?

How do i find out when these track days are?

these may be 'derr' questions but i dont take much note on these things...looks like fun!

Edited by Ryanrb25

okay 1st be member of the nissan datsun car club sa about $70 a year and sporting car club about $120 a year

2ndly apply for a level 2 speed licence from cams, this will save you paying about $90 every practice day

3rdly put plenty of $$$$$ away for tyres, fuel, parts etc.. and keep cool with the officials, and renmember

DONT GO TOO FAST FOR THE TRACK!!!!!!!

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
