So I'm thinking about entering. My question is to those who know my car and my driving abilities.

Would I be anywhere near the pointy end of the clubsprint class to make it worthwhile? Or should I keep the semi's on and just get slaughtered in open class?

I mainly want to go up there just for the fun of racing OP. Not too serious about it although I do enjoy racing on semi's. I suppose I would only do clubsprint class if I was going to be competitive.

If I was going for clubsprint what tyres are most people running? I've never bought good road tyres for my skyline.

thanks.

Edit: I've done 1:39s at Winton and 1:28s on 2nd hand semis if that's any indication. Also I've never even been to OP so it will be a new track for me.

Its purely related to the quality of cars. I am expecting to get slaugtered in Open or Clubsprint... it will make no difference. At least in Open with good tyres i find out what times my car can do.

So if your main motivation is to be competitive then sadly a GTSt wont do the trick in either class. You need an EVO with 30K spent on it or a GTR with 30k spent on it to be competitive in either class

But wont stop me from having bucket loads of loud fun!

purely do it for the fun. unless you want to race your wallet...

at the end of the day you will have a good idea where you stand but there is no chance the likes of us in our own cars will compete with the likes of those who were given drives last year.

avtar change hey troy?? a sign the rb20 is a memory??

Hey Guys and Girls,

Super lap is getting closer i have booked my flight's.

But i don't know where to stay can any one help me, prefer to stay close to oran park.

Around $200 a night.

Thanks.

Not sure if this map will work, but check out where Oran Park is and then maybe search wotif.com.au for accomodation in some of the larger towns near there.

Could someone please shed more ligfht on this event? Sorry i'm a noob to all these events and have just completed my application form for SAU-VIc and am awaiting a reply

Is it just an open Track day for SAU members or is it open to the General Public? Do we just do timed laps around the circuit and see what the best times are for each class?

or is it a race type atmosphere with qualifying then a final race at the end of the day?

And just lasty - how far is oran park drive from melvourne?

sorry for hte noob wuestions but my car is pretty much track ready and i would like to find out as much infomration as possible so that i can can compete in as many track days as possible.

Thanks in advance, guys!

If you're coming up and stopping halfway, there's a good place to stay in Tarcutta (which is about halfway). The return trip will take you 8hrs near the speed limit

Thanks mate, I normally stop at Gundagai for the night whenever I head up for this or WSID meets, done it a few times now, the return trip isn't too bad in one stint at night because the roads are quiet.

thanks everyone for the replies and incredibly informative information. After reading all of that-i dont think my car nor i am preparedto race at that sort of level just yet. Have done a couple track days at Calder for both grip and drift and that was going back a few years.

So may have to give superlap amiss this year and go to f1 instead. In saying that tho, i will aim to makeit there next year after doing a f ew more tracks days with the new turbo and suspension setup.

so thanks guys for the info, and to all those doing the superlap - good luck and represent for the Vic click :bunny:

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
