Hey Guys,

Seeing as the last track day was a raging success I was thinking we should do it again.

I've added a poll to ask what track you think we should go to. I'm still in favour of Baskerville because it's closer to home and there is less things to run in to.

June 12th seems like a good day for it too. Both tracks are free from what I can see.

Cheers,

this is a disolution the same as the drift guys. Symmons actualy has better run offs and the sand traps actualy stop cars. its been a while since a car has made as big a mess of itself as the Shaw s13 recently. Not having a go but just taking the bad omen off the track.

i want to do symmons one day this year...BUT..atm my car is not up for the high speed nature of it yet.. need to fix the gremlins before risking the long trip.

ive driven both tracks now and the speed is very similar. the back straight of barsky for me was 190 ish which is very similar to symmons depending on wind.

the long trip is another aspect. you guys could hire a room at cosy cabbins. cheap as chips.

ive only recently driven Barsky in lap mode and i can say its a far more exciting track for the driver. there is more to be gained/ learnt as an amature/ enthusist.

im very keen to bring my car back and try again.

its just a pitty that the track has a rubbish surface and that its subject to changing weather conditions every 5 mins.

+1 for barsky

Well that's a load off, I'm already peeing my pants about drifting there.

I might consider a go at baskerville if I get car running nice for this one. Seems baskerville got plenty of run off room for me to learn to use this thing called boost lol.

Need to get new coilpacks and possibly exhaust gasket and evaluate performance first though.

Yea need somewhere to really let loose and learn to drive the R32. I have only had a starlet and hilux so stepping up to a turbo 6 cylinder from the NA 4 cylinders is abit of a challenge for me atm still.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
