Small field of Nissans ,lots of beemers..

So....any tips from peeps that know Sandown. ? Seeing as we just jumped in the deep end here...

stay away from walls. they are all very close. and figure out when you need to brake on the front straight. or you will end up in the sand like I did.

Main straight and back straight...

Dave, it's all about maximising the straights. Get on the power as early as you can out of 4 and the last corner, knocking 10kmh off the mid corner into those corners and getting the car settled will give you much more time at the other end.

Brake early at turn 1, there is stuff all to be made up in the braking zone. Power done is what it's all about.

1.30-32 should be the aim.

Yeh the walls are close, but aren't they always...

Well it's kind of pointless for me to attend then because of the sound detectors. Screw having to take it easy on the straight

Even if I plumbed it In my car is much louder than martins and if he got warned, they are going to just boot me.. And it would be 3.5" not 3"

Lol this makes me nervous

It's my very first track day ever!

You'll be fine. Far less likely to a hit wall than to go through a guard rail in the mountains.

I like Sandown, local. Get to be home early.

I'm doing Sept 16th @ Winton with MelbS15 and Tampered. This should be a good one, with a heap of nice cars out on track.

Yeh the melbs15 group have asked me to attend the winton day. Apparently they don't care about noise at winton. Might look into it, would definitely be a good day I think

if your that cautious you will be fine dude. just because the wall is close doesnt mean you'll hit it. the road is HUGE

Yeah. She'll be right

I have a feeling this is the start of something very addictive...

Mate, it makes no difference if its your 1st or 100th.

I have done 30+ trackdays with my bike at PI and I still get the shits every morning before the 1st session. Good level of nervousness makes your reflexes faster :cheers:

Its much less friendlier to the rotors though.

Yeh my dba's had little fine cracks all over them.. But cool down laps probably weren't happening as they should. Novice.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
