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

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
