Hey Jess! Yeah it definately is a GREAT experience hence why I thought I might try to get something together here cos I know that people will love it. Here's hoping I can get some shit sorted out for us :yes:

I just wanted to give your thread a free bump and couldn't believe my eyes!!!

Well done for getting this sort of thing off the ground, hope it all works out and I see you have caught the bug! Wish this sort of thing was happening when I had my 180sx..way back when *cues memory music* :miner:

Hope to see your GTR soon and that I can join you guys on the track.I will do it one day make the big road trip over in my GTR and can join in on a track day!!

looks like we have to complete the drive to survive course before we can attend the high performace one... is this the case heslo??

No, they usually ask if you've had track experience but they don't mind if you haven't.

Well that was when I did it anyway.

No, you don't have to complete that course, they ask at the beginning if you are a competent driver in the hills, if so, then all is good.

Yes I am still planning this, currently in correspondence with them, will keep you updated once I get more firm info ;)

That's just how much this mob charges, I did this last year and know from experience what its like, you are more than welcome to contact the KPM boys, see who they used and then we can go from there if you wish

Is this still going ahead? get my licence back in a week so... Does it matter if your on your P's? Also depends on dates as i have a few minor things to fix on the car.. Novemberish would be nice lol

As I said in my above post, I'm in contact with them and when I have further info I will post up...

As for being on your P's, it doesn't matter, so long as your car is in roadworthy condition (they will scrutineer your car) then you will be fine. It probably won't be until early next year the way it's looking

Ah ok sorry, read the whole thread, must have missed where you said you were in contact with them.

And as for early next year, thats great news, more things i can have done to the car by then :(

You get what you pay for... I imagine if there are more cars and less track time, it becomes cheaper. And the better instructors will be able to demand a slightly higher price too. I'm happy paying with $400, it'll be a Christmas pressie for myself!

very keen for this, ive rarely had the chance to go hard in the gtr and it'll be a bit of a vindication after all the $ i've spent on it ;P

-D

question, why is it $400???? KPM did one exactly like this and it was $200 or $250 all up, i think there even organising another one or will do if they get enough interest

There's like an instructor between 2-3 people.

Some well known drivers too.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
