Do they accept Nordschleife instead?

Bit of a weird rule. I wonder what the theory behind it is... "Now that you've tackled a flat race track, prepare yourself for some slight hills (cause public roads don't have those...)"

Bit of a weird rule. I wonder what the theory behind it is... "Now that you've tackled a flat race track, prepare yourself for some slight hills (cause public roads don't have those...)"

This is basically the result of an unfortunate incident a year or two ago which resulted in a member writing off their GT-R at lakeside. It was the first time they had ever driven their car in any situation other than on the street, they lost it and were unable to catch it, and went into the wall.

NO ONE wants a repeat of that, so this rule was brought in to help minimise the risk. It's not about the fact that QR is flat and lakeside has hills, it's more about the amount of run off area (and also the width of the track / proximity to other cars). If you have an off at lakeside, there's about a 95% chance that it's going to end in a bent car. At QR, theres about a 95% chance you'll have brown trousers but otherwise be OK. That's the difference.

Of course, if people drive happy laps at an appropriate pace (ie, no where near the limit of the car) it wouldn't be an issue. But for first time / inexeperienced drivers sometimes the fact they are on a race track gets the better of them and the red mist comes down. And some people are just d*ckheads.

So, the "QR first" rule acheives 2 things:

1) It allows inexeperienced drivers to get a tast of a race track / happy laps in a lower risk environment than lakeside.

2) It allows the exec to observe these drivers and make sure the ones that drive like knobs don't come back.

Allowances can be made if one/some of the exec know that you are an experienced driver and not a d*ckhead, but they're not going to just take your word for it.

The club runs plenty of QR happy laps so it's not really a big issue to get yourself to one of them first.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
