Remember this up a driver dynamics run day

So they gotta pay for birds...

But in all seriousness they have pro drivers for driver training eg v8 super car drivers

much much less cars

So you get 20 min per hour

Much better than 3 sessions as wrx gave most of the day to the porka club

This

Having seen these days first hand, I would do one over regular track day anytime

So much more time on the track and spaced out

They do have some pretty well known V8 drivers there coaching; that's a pretty cool drawcard on it's own

I haven't flagged since I didn't turn up to the last one...completely forgot about it lol

Did a john bowe day as first track experience and it was good. Only downside was when something went wrong and lost 2.5 hours fixing it. Then you start counting the dollars.

Guy there who had a smooth day sandown) did around 50 laps

Did said DD day. Had v8 supercar driver take my car out to show me its potential. Was shitting bricks as it was sliding towards the wall. He cooked my brakes and rotors. Full brake rebuild. Deff would do again but with proper pads/rotors

Sounds like he went a bit past it's potential

I'd be pretty pissed off if that happened to me lol

Thats the main thing I was laughing at, 20 minutes per hour with a bunch of cars which haven't ever been on a track before... They'll be driving hard and max out temps after 2 hotlaps.

HIGH possibility that they'll identify weaknesses in the car (as everyone does on the first 3-4 track days) or break something or even minor stuff like popping off cooler pipes due to sustained boost and heat. Std brakes/pads/oil cooler/ps boiling/tyres running out

Nek minit they've missed 3 sessions trying to repair a car in the pits and it's cost them $100 worth of the day.

Tell you what though, with the number of GTR's that are down there... Racepace should be there offering advice and guidance to them... So many potential new customers who are getting a taste of the track bug :D

Tbh, most of the guys that go down there are mx5 owners, M3-6 owners or s2000 owners with intake mods.

You get some amateur race teams trying to get some track time with added advice

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
