In regards to Clubmans or closed wheel sports cars running I have no problem with them as my bother has a Turbo PRB Clubman. I have always told him not to enter our track days as most guys will not see him due to the size difference and expect the car to be that quick, He dose 58sec at SMSP south track and has had many close calls at events where bigger car don't see him and pull across hence why the CAMS Supersprints Series don't let them run with sedans and they have their own group.

More than happy they join our track day just make sure they are switched on drivers and can understand when strapped in a race car I have very little rear viability so don't put your place I may not see you :)

Ok cool, last time I checked open wheelers where not allowed with full shel cars

I need to know for sure as I know two dudes with them, one has a custom 1.9ltr blacktop 20v making 165rwkw, ( car weighs 590kgs :D ) and has done a 1.02 around SMSP-S and races in regularity

The other has just finished building it and it has a F20 Honda S2000 motor :/

Will get a definite answer for you

But basically Brian hit the nail on the head

Unfortunately due to last minute change in plans I will not be able to make it to the trackday, If anyone wants to buy my spot they are please PM me. Only looking to get my money back so will be cheaper for none members to take advantage.

I'm checking with insurance about clubman cars. Will get back to you all with the answer, when I find out.

I wouldn't mind joining the fun if you'll have me.

Since it's a Skyline track day, I didn't want to jump in too soon has I'd hate to take up a spot if that means a Skyline'er misses out.

So let me know and I'll get my entry in ASAP.

Ofcourse you are welcome mate

Everyone is welcome to join in regardless of car we have a very diverse amount of cars entered already

Ranging from GTR,gtst,180,rx7 and a corvette and more that I have forgotten haha

So get that entry in!!!

this.

I'm Reppin zee Germans(audi).

Race what you bring.

And if a skyline misses out, they should have entered earlier.

This, they have had long enough to enter, with a week left if they haven't entered by now tough luck if they miss out :P

I think I saw that Lotus cruise though St Marys last week, if so, looks and sounds tough as :yes:

Loving the variety of cars entering. Now I don't feel out of place in the Corvette, Love the little Exige what engine you got in it?

Supercharged Toyota 1.8 2zz-ge - 240hp.

Corvette hey? That'll be interesting to watch. I'll make sure I bring the camera.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
