What To Do And How To Go About Taking Car On Track For Some Fun !


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I got a 32 gtr that is having forged motor rebuilt at moment and extended sump etc etc I will be working in mines and I want to just take it out on track for some fun... Just for a hobby never been on track before but been keen to do it can someone point me in right direction ?

Please pm me cheers

There's a DiY on setting a car up for trackdays etc, so I would search that and start there, then look through the motorsport threads and build threads as there are plenty of gtr's hitting the track regularly with there setups detailed In those threads, other than that find your closest track, book in and just get out there

got to an RAC/AHG trackday at the skidpan and long track if you havent been before, as its a good basis to start learning track work.

I may be organising one at the start of next month open to skylines and i will be posting it in the events section so make sure you check this section in the coming weeks.

Its a lot cheaper(bout $50 $80) than getting all your cams license etc sorted out and going to barbagello raceway, and the only requirements is a current drivers license and a helmet.

checkout http://www.wascc.com.au/ for more info if you plan on doing some real track work. You will need a membership to a cams affiliated club such as wascc and a cams license in order to compete in trackdays and events at barbagello. all the info is on the site - antilag also hosts plenty of events throughout the year, although they aren't a cams affiliated club at the moment, but they are trying to change this apparently: you will need a antilag membership to be part of their track/motorsport events.

i Danny, check out www.nolimitevents.com for track nights and hill climbs, definately the best way to get started, good bunch of guys..also theres a sprint series at RAC driving centre, do a search on mc motorsport state sprint series, also the classicrally website for one and two day events are good but pricey. either way get on the CAMS website, find an affiliated car club, join and then get your CAMS LS2 licence, its the one licence that everyone accepts! get the car club and CAMS stuff sorted while your cars off the road. nolimits are CAMS affiliated.

I think your inbox is full, you can't receive pm's ?

anyway get out on the track, its a blast

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
