pawson,

I'd be interested for sure......just not sure wether I'll be back in time. I am in Adelaide on work at the moment and am expected to be back in Melb by the end of Sep so hopefully I'll be there.

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

Thanks.....

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)

PS, you might need a helmet too with AS 1698 compliance....

Can get one for $90 open or ($160) full face from revolution racegear in Mitcham. And no Mr moderator, not advertising, don't work for them, just letting people know where to get a cheap helmet......

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....

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
