well we were just out there last week.

but you need at least your CAMS level 2S licence, fire extinguisher (mounted correctly), blue triangle on the bonnet to show where the battery is located. you also need to be a member of a car club. have a helmet (obviously) need to wear long sleves (preferably cotton) you need to make sure your bonnet has a secondary latch (if its got a standard bonnet it SHOULD pass)

also it pays to go over your car before you get there to make sure it will pass scruteneering, ie. battery is secured, tyres are good etc...

thats about it, im sure if i have missed anything i will be corrected...

Certain times of the year - yes, only when track days are on

License - yes, CAMS L2S

Club - yes, to get the CAMS licence, must be part of a club affiliated

Basically join SAU-Vic, get CAMS, go racing.

Cheapest option in Vic :)

Thanks ferni:

Hey mate.

First of all you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club, such as SAU Vic. You can join for $70 first year and $50/y after that. See this thread for info on joining. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sa...ber-t60590.html

You will also need to get your cams L2S License - think it's about $95/year (from memory last time i renewed). See here for the form: http://cams.com.au/downloads/paperforms/20...Application.pdf

Once you have these 2 things you can go to any club level track day you want. Plenty are run by different clubs. WRX Club, HSV Club, PIARC Club, MG Club etc...

We (SAU Vic) run our track championship at WRX days. See this link for more info: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/20...-C-t203667.html

Next SAU day is on 1st June at Sandown. These days cost around $150 give or take.

As for what has to be done to your car, not a whole lot. You will need a fire extinguisher mounted in cabin (About $20 from kmart, autobarn, etc...) - I mount mine behind the passenger seat under where the legs of a rear passenger would sit. You also need pants, long sleeves and covered shoes. And of course a Helmet (ADR approved).

Also make sure your car is in good condition - ie no oil leaks, working brake lights, all simple stuff that you should have sorted on your car just to drive it on the street :)

See this link for more info about other events SAU Vic runs for its members:

If you want to have a look at some Club lap records and past motorsport championship results. Check these links:

Hope this helps :(

MOTORSPORT EVENTS is good to find out what is going on in Vic.

Actually that first link is out of date now - how to join SAU VIC:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sk...or-t220207.html

Basically if you have any queries on joining SAU VIC you can send an email to [email protected] or send me a PM.

If you have any other motorsport specific queries, you are better off sending a PM to Ferni, Belsil80 or Scotsman (our motorsport director) or send an email to [email protected]

Cheers!! :)

The big difference is however is tht a club track day is about half the price of a training day so if you plan on going to the track more than once it quickly pays for itself to go the club route. If it is just a once off fun thing then the training days are probably the better option.

^^^ Both true, although the good thing I find about the training days is you get 10 times more track time and by the end of the day there aren't that many people out there so you can go as fast as you like :wub:

*Edit: Although what I call fast and what you two call fast is two different things :/*

That's a good point. But the other side of it, is doing 20min sessions flat out isn't usually the best for the car, plus everything starts overheating - brakes, tyres, engine.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
