does that price include every thing like marshalls, scrutineering etc?

how will they break up the day like 6x20 minute sessions or something

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 hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
