we all keep our stuff at our car spot that we claim in the morning.. over 7 years nothing has ever gone missing as there are always people about and your never gone for more than 10 mins at a time

Bull shit, I've been to numerous track days, have ended up losing lots of items, especially oil! So have many users on here have lost things too!

Oh wait... You meant from people stealing them and not their engines pumping their internals out... Yep, carry on!

SAU Track days, probably the safest place to leave tools laying around/lend tools out!

I always drive at 80% Nick so my lap times and driving style should be the same in timed to passenger sessions :)

Weren't you doing 0:59 lap times last year?

Put an extra 1L oil in your engine, make sure you check your brake pads and fluids. Make sure you have GOOD brake pads, I learnt the hard way at Oran Park.

I doubt I have GOOD brake pads, but they'll have to do.

is it skidz time yet

stinging to run people off the track

Meanwhile I'll be flat on it and causing motion blur.

It'll be happening at the trackday...

Though I can see this happening if I get to take a shot at an R35 GTR....

License check, clothes check, go pro check, helmet check, car....... still sitting at my workshop waiting for my mate to pick me up in his Jeep with trailer lol

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
