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.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
