I might try my first track day.

Martin you be free to teach someone to drive lol?

I'm thinking of doing driver training then I'm guessing I can drive free by myself later with everyone else?

How much track time would one get if I did Driver training and then possible go out bymyself later?

I'll read into the stuff tonight of what I need to do to get my car ready in time and all the cams stuff

Yes, generally speaking. First session in DT is with a instructor. Then after that you are free without one.

You get the same amount of track time as anyone else. Which at this event will be a load, as a heap of us will be in Sydney.

Yes might join in me thinks...why the feck not..

Roy get Scotty fix u up an exhaust man, his prices are very competitive and his hours are very flexible :P

I give him a scrapheap challenge with parts from Fujitsibo,volkswagon and HKS and he made me up a nice quiet pipe..well it passed.at PI anyway...

Seeing as its my very first time at the track. Are these the only things I need to do to get ready & be accepted at Sandown?

Anything else I need to do?

Personal Requirements

- Safety helmet (AS1698 standard) in good condition (ie. free of dents and scratches).

- Gloves are optional.

- Leather or suede footwear must completely cover the foot and be firmly fitted. No sandals or thongs allowed.

Lol, scrap heap zorst was crap Artz, come down for a nice shiny one, what about alloy for the rear Roy? ;)

See you there.

Cheers for the offer. I have one designed up its just a matter of finding the time to get the car off the ground one weekend, check dimensions and then order the parts. Odds are it will be a disaster but I want to give it a go myself first....if its a bag full of failure then will come knocking.

My problem has been I have tried two different front pipe arrangements and they each cost power. Noise would past fine, but I dont want to hand back response and 15-20rwkws :(

Anything else I need to do?

Fire ext that is bolted in. I'd use the passenger front seat mounts.

Single bolt hole or tekscrew will not pass.

The fire ext only lasts 3 years from the date stamped on it.

There is a thread is the MS section about mounts.

Blue battery tri-angle. Blue contact from newsagent :) cut it. 15x15x15 cm

Helmet with aus standard sticker.

CAMS L2S.

Pants, shoes and a long sleve or jumper.

That is all you need.

Cheers John

:cheers:

Autobarn for ext. $35

fire extinguishers are on sale at repco for 19$

for a bracket just get a straight peice of 1 inch wide aluminium..drill a hole in each end put a little bend in one end and use your seat bolts to hold it in...I did find the stock seat bolts were a tad short though and barely gripped so might be best to get some longer bolts as well..but I put mine in and with cutting a little piece of plastic seat trim I still have full movement on my seat :thumbsup:

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
