not sure if everyone on here is aware of the No Limits track nights. Its held on the short track under lights, you get heaps of laps and heaps of fun.. They tape a lap timer to your car and noramlly ( when there is enough numbers ) there is a screen with live lap times ( leader board ) so you can see how your going..you also get a print out of your times at the end of the night,

it not uncommon to do 30-35 timed laps in an evening, with each time you out you do 1 warm up lap , 3 timed laps and 1 cooldown lap, so bang for buck its great value..

Anyway these events are stuggling for numbers, and it would be a shame if they stopping them due to lack of support.. check the ( No Limits ) website for info, its easy to join, would be good to see more Skylines out there....

forgot to say this is at Barbagallos

Also, how keen are you on people new to the track? I'm pretty keen but a bit wary of turning up places where I'm expected to be a driving wizard or something?

They welcome new people. No one is expecting Ayrton Senna to turn up. Half the point of the excercise is to go & learn.

good to see some interest ..... yeah its good bunch of people up there, lots of different types of cars and varying levels of experience.. they have instuctors etc and the guys that know what they are doing, I have found to be very helpfull ....Its held every month, nomally last thursday of every month.....

and its good to see most of the fastest cars are Skylines ( GTR's )

Event is on Thursday,

Be there by 1715 for registration and sign up... Approx $185

CAMS S2 Licence and all other documents will be taken care of on the night...

Note the first night costs are greater as you have to join No Limits itself to get your CAMS Licence.

Very worthwhile guys.....

cheers mike, abit too soon so might give the next one a go, btw is the est $185 inclusive of the cams S2? what do u need to get 1?

sorry but have been here long so dis cams thing is new to me.

To enter most motokhanas, sprint events, hillclimbs etc you need a level 2S cams licence. See www.cams.com.au

To get that licence you need a car club membership (which No Limits can do for you) and to fill out some forms.

No limits can set you up with a temporary licence on the night (If its a once off) or for the year.

The No limits events are a good way to get an instructor in the car with you to help explain how to get around the circuit and also to get a good number of laps in with timing which can otherwise be pretty difficult. Highly recommend them.

you will find all the info you need here. www.nolimitevents.com

Dead keen on coming to the one in March. Would be good if a few other new track people could come to so I'm not the only new one. Been wanting to get into track days for a long time.

So as far as licencing goes, No Limits will take care of it all once you get there? But what's the go with car requirements? Eg, Do you need a cage, fire extinguisher etc...

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
