Hi all,

I recently ran a Track Day at the Midvale Speed Dome, and it was great fun.

It was informal, there was no requirement for a CAMS licence, and all you needed was a roadworthy car and some basic safety gear.

All who attended informed me that they really enjoyed themselves, as it was a good opportunity to get their car out on the track, and poke it with a stick.

A few drivers also used the day to test out various settings and additions that they'd made to their car.

I'm planning on running another day like the previous one again, possibly either at the end of this month, or in the beginning/middle of June.

The previous event was a full day (9am - 4pm) and included lunch in the middle.

The cost was $150 per driver, and there were 12 drivers.

I'm asking for expressions of interest at this stage, with a date, final numbers and final cost to be confirmed.

Please let me know in this thread, and I'll update as necessary.

Thanks!

Hey mate, may not be able to make it if its in Mid June, since will be having exams around this period ..

Will confirm once you let us know of the date?

*Edit* - Also, can anybody recommend where to get a helmet from?

Sorry for the noobieness I've never done anything like this before!

Also, will it be okay if I'm on my green P's?

Same for June.

Helmet - Gogear in ossy park is where I got mine from, 70-80 IIRC for the cheapest ADR approved one.

Ps fine.

Yes P plates are fine.

As well as Go Gear, Cully's Yamaha on Wanneroo rd in Balcatta also do cheap helmets.

Will advise on a suitable date once I hear back from organisers...

Keep a close eye on this thread!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
