Another question is this event alright for stocky car???

coz now i'm broke ..... have no budget to modify :ermm:

Definately. The best way to start off is in a stock car.

It's all about the driving, not the car. I've seen pro drivers in Echo's put some hi powered cars to shame.

sugus, bring the cams form along and one of the club execs can sort you out for a license on the day.

stock cars go good they just sound wierd lol http://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/zoom.mpg

How about tyre, brake and so on???? Do I have to prepare anything special??? cause mine is just drivable

A handy thing would do is bleed the brakes and clean it out. It helps quite a bit.. Just make sure all your oils are topped up. Inside is clean and a wheel alignment helps too.

Ok a dumb question for all those track experts out there, got my semi slicks today, they each have respective marks on them for LF LR RF RR, so I take it they are uni directional? and obviously the tyre shop will need to put the respective tyre on the respective rim?

Hmmm I've never seen those marks on tyres before, but thats not saying its not right.

If thats what it says on the tyre I would go along with it though.

Maybe someone else can help?

I would suggest bleeding the brakes sugus. Maybe try some higher quality brake fluid too if the budget stretches. If not Just new standard fluid will work a treat.

It's looking more and more unlikely that I will be able to make it down for this - even just to watch. I've got my suit fittings for my wedding at 10am.

Wouldn't be able to get down there till around 12pm at the absolute earliest.

I just suggested that Jase!

P.s Elf dot 4.. Just don't get it anywhere :banana:

Yes they are unidirectional so yes the tyre shop should make sure they are put on the rims correctly.

Yes bleeding your brakes is one of the most important things you can do before the track day, as is putting an extra litre of oil in. Castrol Super Dot 4 from supercheap at about $11 will do the trick for brake fluid. If you are good you can bleed them with one bottle but get two to be sure.

Over filling the oil can also cause issues, including blow by.

Just to be sure that no one goes crazy over filling - I would only over fill by a bit past your "H" mark.

Take some oil with you if you are really concerned and check over the day.

Yes this is true and that's why only overfill by a litre and only reccomend that to others..

I am sure there will be plenty of oil around if people need to borrow some on the day.

That made no sense.

It's a pretty common recommendation for RB's Jase. More oil than usual will be in the head due to the oil pump being able to move oil up there faster than it can drain down. This is done to protect the head but it can leave the bottom end unprotected. This is why big dollar rebuilds often include restrictors in the feeds and sometimes an external drain back. It's not like it's needed 90% of the time but it's just a little precaution that is cheap and easy to do.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
