Having a look at the first page you need a wakefield or CAMS/AASA License to be a passenger?

Also I take it we don't need the blue triangle type marker for the battery or secondary bonnet restraint?

No to all of the above :woot:

I'm fairly sure you just need to sign a passenger disclaimer.
You need either a CAMS L2S licence or a Wakefield/AASA Licence. The CAMS one costs $88 a year and is used on most tracks around the country for a number of different kind of events (particularly the L2S open days that a number of us go to quite regularly) and must be purchased before the event. You need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club, like SAU, to get one of these too. The Wakefield licence costs $50 a year and is available on the day from the track. Please note that any passengers will also require one of these licences.

That was on the first page, Just though it meant passengers would need one of those licenses at least. If not thats great.

Actually it's just changed. Passengers do not need a license but the purpose of passengers is "driver training".

Albert - I might have some for you.

Scott - Don't worry I already put you in the second fastest group. Groups will be announced shortly.

So does that mean that passangers are allowed? I am bringing a passanger and need to let him know if he will be allowed in the car around the track.

Thanks.

They were always allowed. Now they just don't need a license but still need to sign a disclaimer.

I just updated this in the first post.

Gates open officially at 8am although they usually appear to be open by about 7:30.

Sign on from 8am.

Scruitineering at the scruitineering shed from 8am until 8:40.

Drivers briefing and full track walk around at 8:40am - ALL DRIVERS MUST ATTEND.

First session which will be noobs 9am.

Remember there are a lot of people to get signed on so can I suggest that noobs get there as early as possible, sign on before doing anything else then get your car ready and scruitineered. Scruitineering will stop at 8:40 for the drivers briefing and start again for the stragglers at 9.

The scruitineering will be done at the shed behind the garages. Two lines, noobs to the left, the rest to the right. Bring your helmet and what you will be wearing on the track as all this needs to pass scruitineering too.

I've got a very Newbie sounding question but I am a newbie....(and I did a search but coudln't find anything)

I need to buy a helmet for Saturday....I am assuming any helmet I buy from a motorbike shop will be good enough as long as it is a full face...also what sort of money would i expect to spend...I assume all helmets sold in Aus are approved??

Anyone in Newcastle bought one up here recently, if so who from???

Ah good question.

You can use full or open face. We reccommend full face as it's more protective.

Any motorbike shop can sell you one to your buget. You are looking from $120 - 2k if you like.

This all depends on what you want to use it for. A cheapie $120 should do you fine

Just make sure that it fits properly. When you put the helmet on make sure it's very snug. Not too tight so it's pushing your cheeks in. But wobble your head around with it on. If it moves around it's too loose.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
