Taken from PGA. This is replacing the track day that was meant to happen. No timing just get out there and have fun!

After the failure of the track day i had organised, and speaking with wakefield they have said that they will host a "speed off the streets" event on the same day for anyone who is interested, and whatever they take at the gate will be deducted from the hire fee that i have become solely responsible for.

The day is unfortunately untimed, but the cost is only $140.

For anybody interested in just getting on the track and throwing their car around for a bit of track experience, this would be a good event to participate in.

I'll be going anyways, and i hope to see a few fellow pga'ers out there as well.

Cheers

Adam

i just rang wakefield and they didnt know anything about speed off the streets on that day...

the dude said its still booked under adam roper??? :)

do i make payment through adam?

whats going on??? just wanna know so me and a friend can book ahead :P

i woud love to come to this even and give my car a thrash around a circuit in a safe enviroment!, what are the minimum requirements, im currently on my l's with all 120 hours done just waiting to get my p's in august... and if im allowed what other licences are required and can they be aqquired on the day?

can anyone help me with whats the basic needs to be able to go on the track?

You need an L2S CAMS licence or you can get a licence from the track which is only valid for Wakeflied Park.

I think you would need at least your P's. Give Wakefield call.

approved helmet, long sleeve shirt, pants, car in roadworthy state, fire extinguisher

You don't need a fire extinguisher for speed off the street days, or at least they never asked or looked for one when I go there :)

do you know the rules about these days and attempting to drift some corners of course with no other cars in the corner?

and nothing stupid like manji down straights

I got black flagged for sliding around the same corner 4 laps in a row... black flag means "you're awesome, keep going" right?

Moral of the story, you need to brake earlier when you are using street tyres :P

50% chance of 10-20mm on saturday which means at this stage im out - no point going if its gonna be raining as I havent got wet tyres.

My trailer is loaded still (from the last wakefield day) so i'll check the forecast on friday arvo again.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
