Keep me informed and I'll let you know how my contract end date goes......

Thanks.....

sound like fun but there aint many people here with a CAMS license!

Guys, just found what I was looking for. I have just bought a GTS-T after racing an MX5 for two years and wanted to know where I can go to do some track days with other skylines.

The day you are talking about is the HSV owners club day at the island and I have entered. The HSV guys are really nice and run excellent days as I organised many days with them with the MX5 club. Spectators are always MOST welcome and entry is free. Just let the guy know at the gate that you are there for the HSV track day.

As for the day, to run you'll need a level 2ns licence which you may be able to get on the day ($88), a fire extinguisher with metal bracket available from KMart ($32) and a second bonnet restraint. For this a netal cable with two snaplocks and body mounted ramset eyelets, all available from bunnings will do.

The HSV usually requires you to have a 4 point harness but will alow first timers to run with the standard seat belt.

Clothing is long sleeve cotton or wool. NO SYNTHETIC as if you stack and the car catches on fire you'll be shrinkwrapped!!

Anyway, hope to see some of you guys, there. My name is James and I have a silver series II R33GTS-T.

If you have any queries at all re track days feel free to send me an email.

Furthermore, back to the original reason to post, is there a specific club here that runs Nissan/Import track days?? Would be good to run with some other skylines or even a club that has a motorsport championship etc organised. Currently a member of MX5club and Maserati clubs....

Cheers...James (Brutus is my cars nick name)

Apparently I got my entry in too late so mat not be running. Don't get it as I sent it straight after talking to the organiser who stated there were 45 places left!! Very miffed as i was hanging to get this car out to the track and the island is a fun place to start!!

Will probably ber there to at least spectate anyway so if anyone goes down keep an eye out for me....

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
