tomorrow is your last day to secure a place on this intro trackday course

you don't have to have a mega horsepower, stripped out racer with massive brakes and a roll-cage to do this course. far from it - all you need is a mechanically sound car with normal tires & brakes, and the desire to learn something new. you don't even need a helmet with this particular course.

whats with the metal caps? only thing i have noticed about them is good looks and annoying for when checking tire pressure :O

supposedly they reduce the chance of pressure loss if the tire sidewall is hit (like sideways onto a curb) whereas the plastic caps can/will crack & fall off. they also recommend that you run higher tire pressures for street tires on the track to stiffen the side walls (eg 38psi+ cold for a 17" street tire).

these are John Bowe Driving's recommendations, not mine - people can debate with the instructors directly if they want to.

Inline 6 has expressed his interest in going on this day - thanks for taking the last spot! I will send you the PM with all the details tonight.

everyone else - i will PM/email the official JB enrolment form out tonight/this weekend

i'm sending the official enrolment form via PM now, but have encountered an interesting problem with this forum - i can only send individual PM's every 5 minutes or so. unless someone can tell me how to PM a list of people at once, this will take me a while...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
