I've been to maybe two or three wakefield speed off the streets days. Each time there wouldn't have been more than 20 cars. Only bad thing is if there are bikes or race cars, they get their own session which means less track time for everyone else. Also these could've been quiet days. Don't get me wrong, these track days look great and I would much prefer to go a track day and meet some fellow enthusiasts etc. but it is still double the price. Do they provide dorian timers in the price?

yeah timing is included in the price.

the speed off the streets days and the organised days are completely different. You'll be grouped with people of similiar speed and skills (or in my case, lack of), you have timing and when you go out for your 10-15 laps per session.... everyone makes the most of the time rather than f**king around all day.

stu - he'll need an AASA licence which is $50 per year. I tried to google WAkie licence and nothing came up on the wakie website so maybe it was abolished or something. Anyhowww

i didnt realise $200 was on the expensive side for a timed track day. its limited to 55 cars i think so should be plenty of track time you would think.

how many cars to the speed off the street meetings? i might look into a few of them.

i haven't seen a timed track day for aaaaaaages... I haven't even found the autosports track day calender... they're the other guys that do regular timed days.

cheers guys. lll let him know.

ill be bringing a mate down to finish tuning the car so will be taking it easy for a few sessions. i might let the officialdom know so they might put me in a slower group for those sessions.

my brother is going to drive his Focus. better than sharing a car. I put a new set of azenis on the front and some used yokis on the rear so it should steer ok.

hey stew - was your car at the power cruise? the 32 with a V8 and sidepipes in the skirts?

And Ben, I saw your cup car on you-tube for one of these wakefiled events. Was your quickest time a 1.16?

I am planning on attending this one as soon as Bel can confirm my gtr is good to go. If not, I will still be there but in a yellow dc2 itr.

in saying that i cant wait for wakie, probably only see the top of 4th down the straight but thats ok. EC was so fast. was already in 5th by the start of the grandstand.

Massive fan of your car Stu, i'm stoked you're coming to this day, can't wait to hear your car screaming down the straight!

You remember Sean with the white R33 at Powercruise, black roof? I'm his brother. Don't be alarmed if I appear in front of your car, i'm just rather keen to have a closer look :laugh::)

I'll be in the blue S13. See you there!

I'm taking a mate out as a passenger at this Wakefield day too, so better be on my best beahviour. :)

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
