Are these circuit familiarisation days worth it the day before track days?

And by this I mean in terms of how fast you're allowed to "familiarise" yourself, if the passenger laps are limited in speed and what etc. How much time on the track? Nearly doubles the price of a track day but curious on the worth of it beyond getting to know the lines.

This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

So pulsar basically has 3" intercooler piping everywhere except straight out of turbo and a 0.5m section after the intercooler cold side. (Intercooler and intake are 3"). Would it be worth changing that section to 3"? Would it be a bottleneck or just a source of heat? If manifold pressure is 20psi for eg, then this section would be higher I guess.

3 inch will flow 600kw, sounds like you are going overkill to me...

LAG for days... :P

Sounds like a massive waste of time/money to me.

First session is always a bit slower anyway... track may be a bit slippery in the early morning, your tyres aren't at the right pressure / temperature. So I always use the first session to cruise around and warm things up, get re-familiar with the track and then I come in, immediately check tyre pressures and set them to where I want them to do... Then Session 2 is my first actual fast one.

Might be worth going along to a day like that if it is 30 cars and heaps of track time, or they have professional instructors who can show you the fastest lines

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
