Is there any sort of entry list put up before hand like the WRX club? Or is it just a find out on the day sort of thing?

I find it intradasting that Maserati club are able to run alot of successful track days without any sort of communication interaction i.e. forums.

I guess must have a very long history and old member base!

I was trying to figure out if you where using some high fluting word there for a minute "intradasting". I don't generally pick-up on these things, but I had to google just to make sure my low brown brain was up to this high brow talk :w00t:

Yep no forums, web-site is marginal at best. They have a good membership and communicate via email and post to those members. The general track day community knows they run a good show and look out for their days. They also have quite a few CAMS officially / related members within the club.

They do communicate, just like they did 40 years ago though.

Haha. Once you start hanging around the wastelands I think your IQ and vocabulary drops about 50 points

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
