My confirmation email from Renee stated that you just needed to present to the gate and if you had rsvp'd your name would be on the list

Email confirming my place was not from Ranee and they where talking passes and no friends etc

Would be allowed entry.......

I am 99% sure all you will need is ID for entry to the track. This is from my email:

For interstate owners, you will need to make your own travel arrangements to get to Melbourne. Nissan will then provide a coach transfer from the new Hilton Melbourne Hotel located at South Wharf at 6:30am sharp to take you to and from the track if you don’t want to drive yourself. The bus will return you to the Hilton Hotel South Wharf.

What you need to bring:

• In terms clothing, we ask that you wear clothing that covers the full length of your arms and legs, plus appropriate footwear for driving. As this event is being held in the midst of winter in Victoria at one of the most southerly points of the state we strongly recommend you dress warmly as Phillip Island is very exposed to the elements off Bass Strait.

• Helmets are not required and should not be brought along.

As an exclusive GT-R owner invite only event, we ask that you bring identification with you on the day.

We will have security at the gate and only owners with their name on the list will gain access to the track. Please note that only registered owners will be permitted to enter the circuit property. Please do not bring any unregistered guests.

I have done similar days at the Island with BMW and Audi in the past and ID was all that was required on those days too.

See you guys there in the morning session. Fun day ahead.

As for eastern creek, Nissan did one at Eastern Creek for the GT-R launch. It was a great day out but media only. This Phillip Island one will be even better with Mizuno-san attending so southerners are getting it good.

I think it's 10am at the South Wharf Hilton.

I can almost guarantee that there will be not timing going on. Experience in the past would indicate that they do anything not to do a full timed lap.

See you all tomorrow morning I am on the AM session.

Almost every phone has a stopwatch!

Could anyone going tomorrow to Phillip Island 1:46.53 please post the lap time this guy is doing

I would like to see how much faster he is than my times

1:47.40, 1:47.03, 1:46.53

(ATC May 09)

Dean Canto V8 supercar driver seemed pretty relaxed talking to me as he punched out a lazy 1:46. no idea about other times, unfortunately no data from Suzuki-san's efforts

btw this trip has ruined performance driving in Queensland for me. Phillip island is such a superb track, I don't think I will be able to go back to the paperclip....

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
