yeah thats all good man.

im waiting on a reply from the phillip island website about alot of stuff including price.

even if it cost 12000 and theres 30 ppl thats still only 400 each man i think thats pretty sweet.

hopefully i will have the reply by monday and we can elliminate speculation etc and start the planning and booking phase of this day.

thanks

The big question they will ask is have you insurance..( public liability )

And you will pay more than car clubs. And you will need to pay in full when you book.

expect to pay 16,000 for a weekend day...

Don't you need to be CAMS affiliated to be able to run something at Phillip Island?

some of us have them from participating in winton drift days, some ppl will have to get them though. its not really that difficult

cool ill confirm the price when i get a reply.

+ medical at least $2000

what the f**k for, ive been to winton, heatcote and sandown for track days and never had to get a medical test.

hhrm wonder what weekdays would cost - sounds expensive - but im sure you would have plenty of fun ;)

i dont care if we go week end or week day really, yeah definately be fun as long as those prices dont rise too much more lol.

Not to forget .

If 1 or more of your guests has a OFF and does some damage. You get the bill.

And they know how to charge .

All that PI supplies is the track for the basic hire, marshals, equipment, timing, medical, recovery, food, insurance, etc. are all extra expenses to be had on top of the basic hire of a facility. You will have to prove that you have a $20,000,000.00 public liability insurance policy that covers a motorsport event in place before you can hire the circuit (if they have a free weekend, and with the MotoGP and PI500 coming up they will not have many available)

If think its going to be a lot more work than you think and how are u going to cough up the 20k for the track.

Easier for you to just book all your mates into a track day.

People have no idea the work the behind the scenes guys do for free. I'm not one but am mates with most of the SAU Motorsport commitee. Even the fact you didn't get the Medics answer says your in over your head.

Plus I wouldn't imagine you'll get away with doing skids there. Its an International circuit.

Too much work for a day of fun...the work alone will outweigh the fun you get from it. Organise to fill up some spots at a track day you'll have more fun doing it this way.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
