Im happy to organise if we can get some numbers together.

Which is closer to the city, Calder or Winton?

Calder has open practice days on Wednesdays, @$165 pre vehicle &

Winton has open practice days on Friday 12th September and Friday 26th September, i have sent them an email concerning $$$

So who would be interested?

yer, but that said, i think if you can get the numbers together and put up some good $ it will be viable..

kevwrx is able to organise a training/track day but it depends what exactly you wanted to do. I think some training could be useful for some of us (me definitely included :rofl: )

I'd be up for it, assuming my car is all back and running nicely by then.. Should all be fine, but you never know.

Im checking Winton that road registered cars are able to attend their open days, just like at Wakefield in NSW.

This way the day will be run using their insurance, medics & rescue vehicles and the day runs irrespective of 1 or 20 Skylines attending.

As for driver training im sure there are some experienced Vic guys about that can help the 1st timers punt their cars around.

As long as you drive within your cars, and your own limits you will be fine. Plus Winton looks like a nice safe twisty little circuit

Im waiting to hear from Calder Park concerning Wednesday 10 September

As far as i can tell your cars only need to be roadworthy, and driver hold a current drivers licence. Add to that a tank full of gas and $165 and we are cooking.

Helmet, Driving suit (available for hire) and Drivers License. Im hoping cotton pants and long sleeve shirts will suffice, will post when i get word.

pfft, we aint poor in mel!!

whats a few $100 to have a good time.

Put me down, if i am in the state then ofcourse!!

Roy, I'm pretty sure that Calder was re-registered last month when it went broke. Im not sure what theyre running there now, but they wont have CAMS public liability cover so I doubt they'll be open for anything.

Good luck getting some of those vics into Team Trackday :D

... and heres Tony Cochraine sending races OS, so Bob Jane tiff with the powers to be finally got the better of him.

Might explain why i havent had a response to my emails?

Im determined to get on a Vic track, i might go back to emailing both Winton and Calder.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
