I did the track day on the 12th of July and you can have as many spectators as you like. So take your camera crew with you. They allowed us to have a passenger hot lap on the day which was good too. I'm not sure if that's something that happens all the time or not. Anyway it was a good fun day and you get to drive your car as fast as you can

I know I did :)

Have fun guys

^^^none of the above pending the condition of each before you go there. Make sure you have plenty of tread on your tyres, plenty of meat on your pads and that you're up-to-date with a service. It never hurts to change oil before and after a track day though. Be very careful not to put your handbrake on in the pits or you'll be very likely warp your rear rotors :blink:

They teach you when to begin breaking, what lines to take through a corner, when to accelerate again and when to change gear. It's a very informative and enjoyable day, you'll want to go back.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
