R35 Fun Stuff Melbourne

[MAD35]

Hey guys, I am new to Melbourne after moving down from Sydney a while back and do not know any other R35 GTR owners in Melbourne.

I am keen to get out there both on the track and drag strip. How often do the drags run at Calder? Their event calendar on their website doesn't show any upcoming street meets.

What about track days? Phillip Island?, Sandown? When, who and how do you organise these?

Do any of you Melbourne guys ever meet up for events or even a strop out of Melbs?

Cheers

the calder drags run often, but I think are closed down for a xmas break... I noticed the long gap too

Winton does test and tune days. The R35 GTR scene is kinda quiet from what I've heard, but no shortage of SAU members.

Thanks mate. I will check it out.

Hey Lance. Welcome

Some of the R35 guys that track are usually in attendance at all/most rounds of the SAU-Vic Championship:

It will have all your track needs covered for the year without a doubt. Also the club runs lots of meets, cruises and all that jazz with quite a few R35 owners as members there.

So for motorsport - Join up to SAU-Vic (you need to get a CAMS license for PI/Sandown) and come along for some like minded fun and plenty of advice from those that have done it all before

You could even bring your VF GTS if you wanted, one of the regular track attendee's has one and I usually punt around in my R8 at the moment - plenty decent spread of cars and people

There are also some drive days a few of us are looking at doing at some point too, such things usually discussed at track events and the like

[MAD35]

Awesome thanks for the info. What's involved in becoming a member?

[MAD35]

All done, I have completed the online membership stuff. Looking forward to coming along to a bunch of events. Cheers

Looks like you sorted yourself haha. Good-o.

Come down to Philip Island on the 8th (some of us are there on the 7th too). Should be at least 10 or more of us by the looks of it doing the round-roundy thing.

You going to enter as well?

[MAD35]

Yeh, I will be coming. I would love to enter but I am not sure if you need your CAMS license or not.?

[R31Nismoid]

Yep you need CAMS.

As you've signed up as SAU-Vic, you can now get CAMS... You'll need to email [email protected] .... Ask Anna nicely if she can hurry it along for you (or even email you your member and post the card out a week later), and then apply online @ CAMS website.

Should be able to sort it by next week if you get on it fast.

Then you have your CAMS cards, Club Membership card - and round and round you can go with us

You'll obviously need to meet the supp reg requirements too (fire ext, helmets blah blah). So have a read there.

[MAD35]

Awesome. Thanks. Will got onto it.

Welcome.

There are a few Melbourne r35 meets here and there but not too frequently.

[R31Nismoid]

You should come down to the Island as well Ali, even if it's just a social visit

Looks like there are 4 R35s going to be in attendance at this stage!

[g35me]

There are R35 only meets every month in Melbourne with 10+ R35's every time. In fact there is one tonight and also one on Saturday.
