WRX club need other clubs to make the numbers for entries for their track rounds. AROCA run a pretty slick day, the drivers tend to be more experienced, and they keep the flow moving for maximizing number of sessions in the day.

I have similar views. Seen many stupid incidents at WRX days. Barry Crocker is a cock bag haha. He once blocked me for 3 laps at winton when I was clearly on his ass doing 1.5-2s quicker lap times consistently. So wanted to ram him! Ant and I complained to clerk of course and they're just like 'well that's just Barry, he's like that sometimes...'

Seems like they like to play favourites.

Oh and there is the guy that does the clerk or course, older guy, just pisses me off lol.

/rant.

What about some other groups like tampered days for Winton? They're very cruisy, reasonably priced.

Personally I am avoiding Tampered days, they stick to many cars on the track, no drivers briefing and driver actions show this.

I like the idea of AROCA esp at Sandown, maybe PIRAC at PI with less noise issues.

MS committee sit down at the end of the year to work out the season and I'm sure this will be taken into consideration.

lol @ cockbag comment :laugh:

I agree about tampered days or any type of 'fun day'. Too many wankers in shit boxes who don't care if they slam in to you.

Well at the end of the day, it shouldn't matter about which club runs the event - we shouldn't limit our championship rounds to just one club. If we have a view of the forward schedule of club days for the year, perhaps we can mix it up. At the same time, it's a shame SAU Vic is not strong enough to run our own.

The commitments in time to run our own and the training requirement for CAMS are quite high.

AROCA ran a very successful Broadford track day over the weekend (just on youtube). I would be more inclined for SAU VIC to continue to be involved in entry level events like DECA and expland into Broadford or Haunted Hills, more so broadford as I personally dislike HH.

Next years track calendar will be of great debate I'm sure.

Broadford, stuck behind a clio :domokun: really need a good drivers briefing.

As for comments regarding future, shame there seems to be strife within WRX as it precludes people standing up to assist. Thing with volunteer organisers, they don't get paid enough - it's a hard job. What would the clubs think of us doing a pic and mix year, maybe we should get a discount for loyalty. And aren't AROCA days already quite full? Think the MS committee might need a slab to get through this topic.

Yes they are, that would be my main concern. Also Mas days, haven't been to one since Jim isn't conducting them anymore. Not sure how they operate now. But they are also very full days to start with.

Discussion is needed for sure.

MAS recently have been Club members only for some tracks.

so no go with them.

They have always done that. The PI at the start of the year and specialty events like broadford etc.

But they generally run a couple of open Sandown and Wintons' a year. Their PI events are generally members only days. I think this is because they allow passengers for the first two sessions.

hello all,

getting ready for a first trackday with SAU and after reading this post i have a couple of questions.

emts,

under vehicle requirements, roll cages are listed. Is it compulsory to have a roll cage or if you have one, it must be cams approved.

Also as far as bonnet catches go, if i dont want to use bonnet pins, what other options do i have that wont get knocked back buy the scruteniers.

cheers

cage is not needed unless you are planning on running slicks.

Most of us don't have one. Tho is a great idea once you become more serious.

re Bonnet catches if you have a factory bonnet then you have 2 already, the one under the dash then the secondary one under the bonnet so you are fine.

if you have an aftermarket carbon or similar one then you will need to look at other options such as some wire with carbines attached clipped to bonnet and chassis. If you do need to do this let me know and will get you some mroe info and some examples the guys here have used.

I'm missing 4pts from the overall :yes:

I figured you didn't need them

noticed that as well when the copy went up has been resolved in the master copy.

teaches me not to do this in airports.

      RB25DET NEO R34 timing belt

      By JC71 · Posted

      I just replaced the timing belt, along with tensioner, idler, water pump, etc. all the front end engine stuff with all new stock Nissan parts on my 98 R34 GTT that I just recently got, so glad I did as the belt ,tensor, idler and water pump were all original to the car and looked absolutely terrible, honestly I cant believe the belt has not broken, luckily I have not driving the vehicle since I got it, and only have ran a few times. I turned engine over by hand and lined up all the timing marks from cams, to the head (plate behind pulleys), and crank to  oil pump block mark, as ran fine, but had a lot of front end noise. the idler sounded like gravel and the tensioner had to no tensor left on it at all as it appeared the spring had rusted in place due to a waterpump leak over the years. so the timing belt was very loose on the left or tensioner side. Never the less I turn engine by hand until everything lined up even with the marks on the original belt. I remove everything making sure not to rotate anything, then put in new tensioner,  idler, made sure all marks from belt matched marks on the pulleys, cams and crank alike and all marks from crank and cams to head and block were perfect. I slowly turned by hand and everything lined up on the cams and crank to the head and block every other time, as proper. all looked fine until I put the lower timing belt cover back on, then the  harmonic balancer, at this point before torqueing the crank bolt down I noticed the timing mark on the lower cover to the harmonic balancer is off. I think the marks on the harmonic balancer and in 5 degrees, from 0-20  and it should be at 0, but some how its around -2.5, not enough for a belt notch, and there is little play in this cover to the block. The key way and key are perfect on the crank and slot in balancer is perfect, no play here, and the cams and other timing marks seem to be on. Is this something to be concerned with or will it be fine. maybe just this way due to a new stock Nissan belt?? slightly tight and will strength a hair??? I marked the CAS before disassembly and know it should be set to 15 degrees BTDC or so at 650 rpms per engine decal. so do I need to worry about what appears to be a slight retard of the mechanical timing? or will this slight difference be compensated when I adjust my CAS?   appreciate any insight.

      R32 non hicas power steering solenoid issues!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. I reckon that that is the HICAS CU. Just the large plug, PS specific and other I/O. I can't see that there'd be a need/want for the (non-HICAS) PS CU to be watching any of those inputs other than the speed sensor.
