Goodmorning!

How tough is the scruteneering on tires at Mallala?

.. Also, do you have to wear gloves and do your shoes need to be leather?

I am awere you are to wear flame resistent clothing from ankle, wrist to neck... I dont want to rock up and not pass because shoes and gloves or whatnot.

Thanks!

Private track days are self-scrutineered, basically by signing the forms, you are saying your car is roadworthy. You dont need gloves, and your shoes dont need to be leather. Its pretty lax, but just make sure you dont roll your sleeves up as you are driving out, i got told when i was out there last time to roll them down, then i can go out!

Ahh ok. Thankyou!

I have signed the forms but they still said there will be scrutineering on the day before we can go out. My rear tyres arnt very good at all so I think ill have to get new ones.

Its not the SAUSA Track day as I couldnt afford that one. Its the MCSA Come and Try day (my friend from the Alpha club enrolled me), its got laps with a trainer and then laps on my own after.

Next Sunday (if my car does ok on the dyno this weekend)! Im so nervous. Haha

Definatly get new tyres, lack of traction for a track day will ruin the buzz and avoid you from pushing hard, you don't want to get everything organized and out there on the track to only experiance a f**k load of over steer to stop you taking corners as hard as you would like. It'll piss you off by the end of the day, trust me.

Normal track days, YOU are responsible for ensuring your car is track worthy.

Events like Time Attacks, they will check for leaks (fuel/oil), brake pedal feel, brake lights working, steering slackness, no loose items outside car, no loose items inside car (empty glove box etc) ... and of course, long sleeves, pants, good shoes, and of course a lid.

:(

BTW after last weekend, my Bridgestones got a hell of a workout ... might need new rubber soon myself :(

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
