Hi All

Just wondering if there'd be interest in those who've got GT-R's would be willing to partake in a bit of MC Motorsport action this season. We'd be looking at a team of 4 plus someone who would be in reserve should one of the main team can't make it. It starts soon:

DATES:

8-Feb-04

7-Mar-04

11-Apr-04

9-May-04

Finals 19-Jun-04

COSTS:

It is $55 per round. You must pay for round 1 and round 4 upfront and preferably before the 1st round occurs.

So, if you've got an R32, R33 or R34 GT-R, let us know if you'd be interested.

Cheers

Brendan

Yeah, sorry. You're right. CAMS 2S license is required for competing in the MC Motorsport Challenge. You'll need to be a part of a CAMS approved car club such as AFARCC and then apply for your CAMS license (there's an office in Dog Swamp). And yes you can compete on the temp license they give you once you pay. I also think you can fill out a form for 2S license on the day.

Is there no one with a GT-R in this group who'd like to do a bit of competitive driving? If not, how about anyone with a Skyline who'd be interested in committing themselves to a season of MC?

yeah i have to apologise but due to distinct lack of funds .... maybe next year. Pity cos it would be a lot of fun.

Micko - its more for fun than serious competition ..... thats how most of the other car clubs are looking at it anyway.

Thanks Sumo. Maybe we look at going in for next season then. Micko, as for not having enough experience isn't really an excuse with MC, as Nizmo said, it's more fun than competitive. But then again, we felt County Dump Racing were playing for Sheep Stations a couple of times last year. It was my first bit of 'competitive' driving when I did it last year. I went in thinking I can only get better. Unfortunately my tyres got worse - so although I had a great time going sideways, my times didn't get much better ; )

So we have a tentative team for possible entry next season (maybe) - Nizmo, Micko, Sumo and myself. Any other possible takers.

Cheers

      Are you an oil nerd?

      You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
