NDSOC do their track days with MSCA (Marque Sports Car Assoc). There is a sprint this coming Sunday (yes, Bathurst day) at Sandown. You're welcome to come and watch (probably too late to enter).

Then, on the following Sunday, NDSOC will be conducting a driver training day, again at Sandown. Entry forms should be available at the web site (ndsoc.com.au), otherwise email [email protected] .

NOTE: you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club to do these events. we will gladly sign you up on the day. You will also require a CAMS L2 licence, $91, valid for 12 months. And the car will require a fire extinguisher and auxilliary bonnet restraints, and you need a stack hat (helmet).

What you can do, is simply choose from a CAMS affiliated club to be a member of. Choose yor favourite, coz you can go for any track day held by any CAMS-affiliated club. And pay no more than the track day fee. Imagine one club membership that allows you to play at all golf courses.

Myself, am with PIARC. And they are holding an event called Island Magic, 2 days of track( attend 1 or both) on the 29th and 30th of Nov. So simply download the entry form and post it in. The important things u need are,

1) Extinguisher that complies with CAMS regulations (Metal bracket, etc)

2) Secondary bonnet restraint device( any strap or belt will do)

3) Metal valve caps

4) Helmet (ANSI approved)

5) make sure your car is in a roadworthy condition,ie: no drips leaks, etc.

6) And some clubs are strict about a 75dB limit at 30m driveby. ( Most cars will be under that)

I think I mentioned the most important ones to get started.

Costs,

Club membership: $30-$50

Cams L2S( Level 2S) : $90

Track day fee: $90-$120

Hence, to go on the track the very first time, you'll need about $240. Thereafter, you only pay for the track day.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I'm a new member of NDSOC and we just cracked 300 members. Nice club, interesting people. Looking forward to getting to Sandown next weekend too. Costing me though. Just getting the 33 reregistered I need new rotors, all 4, @ $640 for plain rear and slotted fronts, rego, club membership new extinguisher CAMS licence new 6 puck clutch the list goes on. The accountant will throttle me when she adds it up :P

Before you do a trackday make sure your car is in good working order. Change all the fluids (gearbox, engine, radiator, Dot5 brake fluid).

Make sure you have decent pads as well (something like RB74's not your nissan oems).

I did my first trackday over 6mths ago and im still repairing my brakes now. I destroyed my master cylinder, glazed my pads and seezed my pistons. Now almost $3,000 later and she's almost back to normal.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
