ECIR has been booked for a private day on Friday 31st October. Main aim is for the Production Sports Association to have an end of year event to thank their supporters.

There will be spare spots available and we need to get the numbers to break even on the day.

So all types of car are welcome.

If openwheelers turn up we will have to make separate groups.

Otherwise you will be able to go out when and as you like.

No 20 minutes on then 60 minutes off as in ARDC days.

Passenger rides are permitted so a chance to thank those who have helped.

Also an ideal day to sort out a car as there will be no lost time between tweaks to forget what it was like.

Seat belts and helmets / clothing to Supersprint requirements for Drivers and passengers.

L2S license as a minimum for Drivers.

Road cars to Supersprint standards also so effectively as they are.

We will have an Ambulance and a couple of recovery vehicles but no flaggies, just spotters with radios.

No limit on visitors and passengers, They will sign a form if going out but no charge for them.

Garages and pit lane available.

Gourmet sandwich lunch, tea, coffee, soft drinks available for $15 head. BYO after drinks if needed.

I need numbers of people taking part in that lunch.

Costs, Well , we have to cover the ARDC bill which is close to $10K so if we get 40 cars that’s $250 /car or if we get to what I think is the maximum for a clear go then 50 cars = $200 each.

We will initially ask for the $250 then refund on the day if we get the 50 cars.

I need an indication of who might be coming ASAP as we need to be sure we can cover the bill.

Please feel free to send this email on to anyone you think is suitable for such a day.

I will be Clerk of Course so I can assure you of the minimum of rules to make it a great day.

The entry form is attached and most details are on it.

I will have some indemnity forms at the track on the day so each driver will complete one, present their CAMS license and collect an armband to show the controller as you approach pit exit.

Passengers will fill in a similar form and collect a different coloured armband. They will also show this as the car exits pit lane.

Fatz and I are going

This is not organised by me. Just thought a few might be interested. Also if they get a total of 50 drivers the price drops to $200.

I believe there only a few spots left so it will almost certainly be $200 for the day.

Yeah $95 bux for a cams license for the year.

This day would probably not be suitable for anyone who has not done a club track day before.

Also be prepared for about $200 worth of fuel. These open days you can easily do 100's of laps which is tough on the car.

Either way its a steal for $200 and a good excuse to take a day off work.

I did a day a couple years ago on OP South with Aaron McGill and his race team. They took their sponsers out and he had an invite to other guys, and I was one. I was on the track with about 5 V8 lites....at first I was scared but after a while you can hear them coming and just know to get out of their way haha

I already have the friday off - Will see how I go with funds

anyone had much experience in one of these days? it sounds like it would get a bit sloppy...with all those cars out there.

Come down for a free joy ride.

You find that at the start of the day you have alot of cars on the track. A few hours in there are hardly any cars on the track.

$200 Bargin! I will try and get a spot last minute and hope to god its forecast to rain!!!!!

Old school flash back 2002, $199 motor concept days, Oz and Fatz rain dance for a week to have the heaven’s open up. 3 tanks of fuel and 200 laps later fatz and oz have just torn up the best skid pan in the world by ourselves!

Fatz,

Almost as good as the fathersday L2S day when some idiot lost his load just before lunch, 4 schooners later we are back on the track doing our best lap times of the day.

No cash has left my hands yet, Need some stuff done to the car and watching for the weather, I wont run at a 30Deg + day.

Bonks, will pop out at a minimum, but I am planning to drive.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
