Hi there guys, looking for some info. I'm a recent red p plater, living in northern parts of Sydney. I'm basically looking for a place to race with mates and just 'go fast' by myself. Like, I pay a certain fee or something and I get to do laps till my hearts content. I'm not that good, and hope that it's open to new people as well. Yeah, just hoping there's a place that's also not too expensive, and preferably close to where I live.

Thanks guys!

I think wakefield has days like that, I remember it as being pretty cheap. Drive there, pay fee, then drive to your hearts content around the race track until you get tired or your car breaks. Only problem is that its 2 hours away.

Cool man that's what I'm looking for! I suppose I don't mind driving too far ey if that's the only option. I've heard of Eastern Creek near Blacktown, do they ever do anything there? That should only be say 1 hrs from my place. Are there any clubs I could join that do this kind of stuff?

Yes, Skylines Australia :P

eastern creek is usually really busy, but there are practice days every so often. I think their practice days are $120 or something and an actual track day there is more expensive.

Otherwise, there's always Oran park, they usually have about 5 or so days every month for practice and they are only an hour away.

Heh unfortunately I don't have a skyline. =( I'll be driving a 2006 mazda 3 neo (stock) that I share with my brother. Any other clubs or anything? I suppose the only way that you can get practice days in is to join a club that does it? Or can you just book it for yourself, and maybe a couple of mates? 2 or so.

you dont need to become a member of skylines australia NSW to drive on the track. just get an AASA licence (cheaper at $50, rather than $85 for a cams + $55 for sau membership) from wakiefield park as you're just starting out and probably wont want to head over to eastern creek just yet - lots of things to hit... like walls. i'd definitely start at wakiefield park till i build my confidence up as its wide open spaces and plenty of room to run off the track.

then i'd start looking at getting a cams license if you want to do another track once you've increased your confidence/skill.

My advice....

Join Any CAMS affiliated club (Of course, SAU NSW on tope of the list :cool: )

Get your L2S CAMS licence

This allows you to participate in alot of events.

You can then do practice days at Oran Park and Eastern Creek.

Wakefeild as Joe said is a great track for first timers. They have open days every week.

My advice is keep an eye on car forums, and see if they have any skid pan or track days coming up. guys over at www.autosports.com.au have track days with pro drivers for training.

:D

so Go hard :D

personal opinion would be to do wakefield park a few times. you wont go more then 3-4 times in the year, it'll cost $50 for the AASA.

if you do the whole cams licence you'll be up for around $150 and you'll only really do wakefield park as its alot safer. by all means - go ahead and try eastern creek but its not the most beginner-friendly track there is. so like i said. $50 for AASA and do wakie - get to know your car on a safe course then look into getting your cams licence. at least if you choose to go for the more advanced tracks you'll only be out $50, rather than around $100 (-$50 for AASA) if all you're going to do is wakie.

and sau are nothing but a bunch of c*nts anyway lol.

p.s. welcome to sau.

You're such a knob Joe. If you don't like us so much why don't you just leave of your own accord instead of provoking us to ban you?

As if this is not the best thread ive ever seen a RED P plater ever post, nice work buddy. All you have to do is get your mates to follow suit and make sure your confidence you get from offroad racing is not seen on the streets.

Wakefield is the safest from what Ive heard as the corners are mostly sand trapped and walls are far far away.. just take it easy every 6th lap or so to cool her down and sell be right.. best to get some aftermarket gear like temp sensors isntalled so it does not become a expensive task.

Also you'll need a Helmet, Upgraded brakes, and to check all fluids before you head out :)

Drag way is another option :D WSID!!

I don't get it, Joe - is that deep-seated sarcasm or are you just having a laugh?

Sometimes I'm not so sure (even considering I've met you a few times), and people who've just joined the forums won't know either. Please take that into consideration when you post...

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
