There was some interest in a Track day on the other thread.

The track looks pretty free on the Sunday 24th of April and there isn't any other motor sporting events on that weekend. (easter Weekend)

who's keen?

I think there is a 4 car minimum.

Not sure how much It'd cost... Funz, can you enlighten us please? worship.gif

cost is $70 for hscc members and $110? for non hscc members for a private praccie day , there can be 1 car or 10+ it doesn't matter as it's private praccie . i'll ring dave this arvo and confirm the 24th if you want

That'd be awesome if you could!

Lock it in Eddie ;)

If we are doing a track day this 24th, ill prob not do the super sprints and just do this instead!

Ditto on that one Funz, if this is locked in as a definite date I'll drop the super sprints and take this day instead.

Do both you skirts!

Lol.

And they'll hook you up.

It's stuff all to join for a year, $80 I think. so it'll pay it's self off in like 3 track days :P

id even be keen to come down for this! haha, would be interesting!

I (and I'm sure many others) would be very interested in meeting you and checking out your car.

I hope that you can make it down.

Also, incase it wasn't clear, I'm talking about going to baskerville on the 24th.

we took the targa car to barsky saturday just gone and used the track. there was just under 20 drivers and some bikes running to. it was the first time ive used the track with other people but not an offical day. there was 3 mates there racing each other and that made for interesting watching.

Do both you skirts!

I reckon I'll drop by for more super sprints later in the year, but on a budget I think I'll gain more out of a straight track day rather than a super sprint when starting. I'd love to do both, but I feel bad enough about the amount I'm spending buying random things needed for track days without the cost of two in a week :P I'll see how it go closer to the date though, if this falls through I'll be at the super sprints for sure!

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
