Should we bring extra fuel, tools, fluids etc like we did at the track day or what. Is there going to be sheds open?

it is a good idea Nick.....i remember at the last one people did pop off intercooler piping etc.....so just bring everything that you would bring at the normal track day....better be safe then sorry i guess :banana:

norm stop being a little bitch and enter it :thumbsup: .....you know your car will be ready by then.....it is a wicked day all up mate :)

Oh I will enter it, I just need to transfer some funds to make it happen. Plan is to get the car on Friday, put the new tyres on on Saturday and be ready to go on Monday... well that's the plan anyway.

Well I'm pissed off. Apparently the car that's supposed to be ready tomorrow is a different skyline, a V35. So I won't be coming on Monday after all. Grr!

sorry to hear that you can't make this :)

bloody V35 owners! (not mine!)

looks like it's just: Sparkys, GoAhead, niksta, Mark (heslo's mate), and maybe ev33.

Yeah I'm definitely still good to go!

Just want to throw something out there.......anyone got an R32 GTR drivers seat I could borrow for the day? I hit my head on the roof with the standard 32 GTS-T seats which I put up with for daily driving but may not be so good on the track :P

Normsta....what's wrong with taking a V35?

hi guys, I have booked Mallala out on Tuesday June 22 Monday June 21st for a trackday and need to know if there is enough interest here for another Advanced Driving Trackday course.

It will be the same format as the event i organised last year (August 25) and similar to the FPV Drive Days run by the John Bowe Driving team several times a year. (photos from Page 16).

Please reply here or PM me or Heslo in the next few week so that we can gauge the feasibility of such an event.

This is a great opportunity to learn about car control and driving techniques on a circuit if you haven't been out at Mallala (or on a real racetrack) with your car before. If you want to learn more about being on the track before doing a High Performance Driving Course (the next one will be in November) but don't want to go all out (unrestricted) around Mallala then this is a good course to do first.

I'm sure that Heslo, nightcrawler, writeoff, Joshdc, Moodles2, Hostile, typevu, and Krishy amongst those that participated last year will recommend this course to everyone here on SAU as an essential driving experience.

If you did do the August trackday last year, then a High Performance Driving Course like the ones i ran last November and last month would be the next recommended step. semislickR32 and GUNR35 went to the recent March 22 trackday (photos here)

Thanks for your interest.

Confirmed

-----------

I am confirmed as attending.

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
