[XKLABA]

What happened ?

And we have a down side to the Black Box, only Yavus can tune it ?

[BakemonoRicer]

Can't wait for the S-chassis army to be out in full force...

Gave the car a wash, then waxed it up with some carnauba.

Fitted underbody splash tray, bolted the fire extinguisher to the rear seat bracket (had to shave down the washer), and also fitted a nut onto one of the turbo/dump studs, seeing as it must of rattled off back when I had the solid mounts. Also fitted a couple interior trimmings by Superior Auto.

Anyway, have taken the car for its second shakedown through Old Pac...it's pretty much good to go for the trackday now . The HC + pads are amazing.... will be VERY late on the brakes.

Q, are Clubmans allowed ?

Insurance has told me that Clubmans are allowed, as long as they have mudguards.

If they don't have mudguards, then we need to run them in their own group/session.

So as long as they have mudguards and pass scrutineering, then they can run.

Good work mate! Really doing the hard yards for this event

[XKLABA]

That is the weirdest logical decision that insurance could ever make... :S I can understand if they've got roll cages/other safety features to allow them to run with normal cars. But mud guards allowing them to move from an open wheel group to a normal car group... So odd! Mud Guards don't make them any safer! But then, that is insurance for you! LOL

A quick note for anyone taking their GTR to the track for the first time or if your unaware, over fill the engine oil to the middle of bump in the dipstick ( about 1 ltr ) to help reduce the chance of oil starvation, last thing we want is to see unnecessary engine damage

Going to go to town with the pink chalk pen on your car hahaha

Scrutineer power hahaha

Hey guys, I'm a trackday noob....bit worried about filling an extra 1L of oil.....wouldn't that effect your oil pressures (just on normal driving)?

Would you overfill at the track then drain at the end of the day?

Any other tips to prevent engine damage?

[pureplaya]

Also is there an area where you can offload loose items and pick them up at the end of the day?

e.g if you were to bring a trolley jack

[XKLABA]

I have a 10ltr sump and still fill to the bump in the stick and that is how it stays, my 32 has a stock sump and same, fill it to middle of bump and that is how it always is

The dip stick measures down from crank more then up from bottom, there is no way it will effect oil pressure at the level

We are a pretty good bunch of people and usually just put everything in a pile next to where you park your car and leave it there

overfilling will cause no issue whatsoever, if u would call it an issue it might cause a bit of blow by (oil out of the breathers) but if your car is sorta standard that will be happening anyway)

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

Another good idea is bleed all your brakes and clutch to get fresh fluid in to the calipers and clutch slave and enough fluid in the master cylinders

Check how much pad you have left

New filters, particularly the fuel filter

Makes sure wheel nuts are tight and tyres pressures

Even with the extra 1L in the sump the crank doesn't drag through the oil in the pan, not only does it help prevent oil surge It has more thermal mass so you are less likely to overheat the oil.
