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:

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
