Glad to see the perk in interest.

Like others indicated it isn't a full on track day but great way for folks to go see what it's like for a taste. There are lots of other opportunities but expect them to be around a few hundred bucks for a track day and 50-70 for a skidpan. But then there are requirements like motorsport licenses and fire extinguishers.

If you've ever wondered about motorsport but sitting on the fence get in on this if you can!

Technically I think you need a fire extinguisher for this. From what I read in the regs. I'm yet to receive a email with the extra details they said they'd send.

Best to check with them if you dont have one.

What did you recieve?

All I got was an email saying they recieved it and everything looked fine. More info in the coming weeks.....

Will say Hi,

don't laugh too hard when you see a Volvo out there.... :P

i'll come down and take pic's :)

BTW 1:14.77 to beat!

1.06.1 to beat :D

however, for 30 bucks you guys cant go wrong for this day, more the atmosphere too, it'll be fun!

Ill be there definately with my blue GTST 33. You cant miss that either. Im sure there was only limited spots so im guessing all of the drivers will meet at some point :) cant wait to put her on a real race track and not just a skid pan or air strip. Wondering if i need helmet or not. I already have extinguisher so thought helmet might be a good idea :) Getting excited only a week to go.

Great im the only one in the red group :( Looks like ill have to represent SAU alone. The red group is starting at 730am! then yellow, blue green, the times looking at the scedule are spread over the whole day. I will probably stick around and watch some of you guys as i have nothing else on that day :) Ill make sure to come say hi. If you want to watch me set your alarms early lol.

think cause i was so early in my rego like december last year i got first group :( should have held off :( oh well ill show up all the comadores and falcons for u guys lol

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
