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.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
