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!

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
