So you think doing the back track in rwd would be better?

No, the grip is essential on the back track, its just in keiths case, when boost is on at 5500, you would bog down in second gear in the slalom's. Idealy, he should go back to 1st gear, but thats alot of hassle and if your gearbox is a little tender, 1st gear synchro wont like you.

Just looking into this. My cars worthy (ie moves under it's own volition lol) now. I have the license you get when you do a track day at Wakefield ("Clubcomp License". Is that good enough for this? I don't have a helmet though :|

Just watched the vids with the cones. I GARANTEE I will get lost on that course hahaha

If my license is OK, and I can get a helmet from somewhere + pay in time, I'm up for this. Someone lemme know asap!

OH by the way, do they let more than one car at a time onto that track up the top of the driving facility? Cos that's where I did the safety training thing, and they let about 10 inexperienced drivers on there at once... with all the blind corners n stuff its asking for trouble IMO. A soarer nearly got rear ended by a Daihatsu locking it up coming into the last downhill bend before the straight..... EEP. Only one car at a time on there, yeah?

I think the more recent Wakefield licences are AASA and might just pass - Does it have AASA on it anywhere?

Q about licenses was answered in another thread for me :) $90/yr for the AASA one.

BTW, this would be another great place to try out my new car cam, assuming internal suction cups ones are OK.

yep only one car at a time, and we will have cones set up to slow everyone down in certain parts. It is not designed to be a high speed event. We'll be having even more cones this year & set up better (you learn these things after running the event before...)

I dont believe we have any restrictions on the helmet?? As long as its Aust Safety Standards approved?? I would assume wakie would be the same?

Cool@ bike helmets. Cheers!

Yeah must have haha, I just meant to edit the part about the camera, cos I realised a camera inside the car for obstacle event maybe silly - outside footage is probably more fun/useful? I dunno. If ppl think it'd be useful, I'll have it handy anyway. Just don't want someone runnin off with it haha

You may be crazy anyway tho :cheers:

Seriously? AASA is up to $90 now? if so, my advice (and I like what AASA stand for) is to go CAMS L2S for no other reason than so you can run other CAMS events... such as... the hillclimb, Oran Park, EC etc

I thought AASA was around $50?

Well that's what someone on another forum posted as the price for 1 year. I don't think I have time for sending away stuff etc etc if they can take 2-3 weeks to process a CAMS application like ppl have said. I'm most likely to use the license to go to Wakefield and this event over the next year... maaaybe hillclimb or something if I have a look and like it...

Sounds like CAMS is more official and that you can't just rock up and buy one on the day, like you can with AASA?

Yes, you can usually fill out the CAMS form on the day with CAMS affiliated clubs and keep the 30 day tear off (SAU is with CAMS)

Shell should be able to confirm if SAU have someone coming from NSW who has the delegation to sign off the CAMS form.

If you would prefer to organise in advance, phone CAMS and they can fast-track the process and fax an interim 30 day licence. You should be able to fax your form and receive something back fairly quickly until your real one comes through.

Or (just to confuse matter more LOL) you could come along to the SDMA hillclimb and join CAMS this Sunday, on the spot. Best to do before 9am though (while they are still in the office).

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
