Ok time to ramp this up people. We need:

A) Excitement.

B) More entrants.

Can you all please tell all the people who you know like track or could be interested in it as we need more entrants to make this financially viable. If you are a keen and helpful club member put it in your signature and let's get this show on the road!!

Hey Mate. As long as it passes scruiteenering it's all good.

Sorry to sound like a ninny, but, what do they look for in scrutineering? my car is completely stripped out with just a seat, dash cluster, harness and fire extinguisher. will this pass?

It's basically eveything has to be secure in engine bay and inside the car, no lose articles in the car and no fluid leaks..

What have you used the car for in the past?? sound tuff if all stripped out :D

Evil weevil and DIF will be able to clarify anything else

mmmk,

basically has to road worthy.

inside...

seat is secure

no loose objects

harness in date (if using) otherwise seatbelt in good condition

brake pedal feels good (pressure)

firewalls are closed

boot is cleared and empty

engine bay...

no leaks

battery clamped well and tight

tyres in good condition

ADR approved helmet in good nick

lng sleeved clothing

thats basically it

usuall things that get checked

*Your brakelights need to work and if it's raining, your windscreen wipers need to work.

*Your car cannot have any fluid leaks at all.

*seatbelts in good cond

*brake pedal feels solid

*engine bay in good cond/everythiung secure

*tyres can't be bald

*make sure there is nothing loose in the car (boot/cabin)

*remove your space saver on the day (make sure it's still in the car on the way there.. you may need it :( )

Sounds like your car would be fine to pass though. Chris (Evil_Weevil and D_I_F will be doing the scrscruteneer checks on the day, so shoot one of them a PM or they can answer in here if they see this :D

Do you have any major exhaust mods, or do you have battery/oil/fuel relocated ?? this obviously needs to be done properly and enclosed where needed etc..

Its a 31 2door that i bought earilier this year to turn into a race/drift car, and this will be its first run (and mine :) ) on a track. I just wanted get it on the track to see what it really needs and not what i think it needs.

Orsm, thanks for the quick replies guys.

Nice!! well this trackday is perfect for you then and will be great experience! :yes:

What about exhaust mods like this?? Done by yours truly but very tidy and very very secure... Just not RTA or EPA compliant...

That's fine. as long as the tape is heat resistant and it's all secured.

I'd need Chris to give the final answer, but i'd say that wouldnt be an issue.

Ahem! What am I, chop liver?

If you need the numbers to be viable... let Neil and I know and we can bring in the open wheelers :P:blink:

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
