This track day is open to alot of other clubs..I heard about it through SSCC..

So wouldnt be surprised if all the spots are taken :P

Have to get in quick with these types of events

i emailed terry the other day and he told me there were no spots left.....what's the story?

Yeah all spots gone so its $200 for the day for those that got in.!! $200 for a open day is a bargain.

If you missed out come down for a free joy ride.

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.

Excellent - look forward to seeing you!

If it rains I will be there pay my $200 and take the place of the fags that are scared of a little wet weather. Either way I will be out on the day. I hope to do my thing and pay for a slot once the first car pops or looses it.

Oh I WISH my car was going... would come down for the day anyway, but the boss is away and it's overtime for me in the morning... next one that is on someone please RING ME!!!!

2002 reunion, and I'm gonna miss it. :P

LOL, I can't believe it... B-man might even be there. :thumbsup:

Bonkers, fatz, kero, OZ, there is not too many missing.

And the original stomping ground... shame EC hate drifting hey Fatz...

Top Gear crew will be filming before and after on the day - so maybe i will pick up the shitter pete - they would lovethat kind of shit. :devil:

10) We understand that the Top Gear guys will be on track up to 9AM and after 5PM doing filming. If they hang around please be nice to them as we may get some publicity for club level motorsport. If they sign on you will be permitted to take them as passengers. Who knows, you could end up a TV Star.
1) We have a full field of 50 cars now that those who have dropped out are replaced with those on standby.

2) Please make sure you bring the completed forms with you AND your CAMS license plus club member card. They should both be current. Some folks forget to insert the new bits.

3) Passengers only need to have filled in and signed the form, plus have the right helmet and clothes to get an armband from us at Garage 50. They should see Val Stewart, she is the pretty one, Drivers have to see me, the ugly old grump sitting next to her.

4) There will be no fuel available at the track as the stock on hand is reserved for BMW next week.

BYO please, It’s cheaper that way. Refuelling must be out the back of the garages. NO SMOKING !

5) Tony Thorne will be in charge of Pit Lane and will give a run down at the drivers briefing to cover the

new automatic lights around the track at flag points. If we get a radio call from the spotters on the hills

he can switch on yellow or red lights right around the circuit or just in one spot. It may replace flaggies

at club events one day so this will give you a chance to get used to it.

6) Age limit on passengers is 14 YO according to ARDC rules.

7) Experienced Drivers may ride as passengers in the one hour sessions to give helpful tips etc.

8) During those one hour passenger sessions only cars with passengers will be allowed out and no passengers in the half hour sessions. Those are for full speed work.

9) If your L2S or renewal license has not arrived from CAMS you should follow it up and get an email or fax to prove that it is in progress. They do have some problems in Melbourne HO. I cannot take your word for it I am afraid. Too many people have lied to me over the years.

10) We understand that the Top Gear guys will be on track up to 9AM and after 5PM doing filming. If they hang around please be nice to them as we may get some publicity for club level motorsport. If they sign on you will be permitted to take them as passengers. Who knows, you could end up a TV Star.

11) And now, the schedule, Lets’ assume that a bunch of you will be super keen, get there early, be all signed up and ready to go. We will do the driver briefing at 8.45 AM (not 9 AM) and have you ready to go out when Top Gear is finished.

Session 1 – 9 AM - 30 minutes for Race Cars with slicks IE The serious fast cars. (Type 1)

Session 2 – 9.30 AM – 30 minutes for Road Cars and those who wish to go with them. (Type 2)

Session 3 – 10 AM – 60 minutes for all cars to take passengers at reduced pace.

Session 4 – 11 AM – 30 minutes for Type 1 cars

Session 5 – 11.30 AM – 30 minutes for Type 2 cars

Session 6 – 12 noon – 60 minutes for all cars to take passenger rides

Also remember that at 12 .30 to 1 the Prod Sports folks are to break for lunch and their presentations.

Others who have paid for lunch may choose to eat between 12 and about 1.30 when the Caterers finish.

Session 7 – 1 PM – 30 minutes for type 2 cars (yes we swap them around after lunch)

Session 8 – 1.30 PM – 30 minutes for type 1 cars

Session 9 – 2 PM – 60 minutes for all cars to take passenger rides

Session 10 – 3 PM – 30 minutes for type 2 cars

Session 11 – 3.30 PM – 30 minutes for type 1 cars

Session 12 – 4.PM – 60 minutes for all cars to do final passenger rides.

5 PM close of proceedings on track.

That is a possible 6 hours on track if you can muster up enough passengers so bring fuel with you.

I intent to arrive at about 10 with the car ready to go, and pay my money once the first breakdown occurs. This is unless fatz cant find me a spot. Worst case the car stays in the car park and I get to go for a squirt with the boys.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
