Generally about $200 for a Sandown day, maybe $230 for a PI?

We often don't actually run all of the rounds in our championship, some of the rounds we join other clubs on their days.

Is there a website for sandown just for general practice days. Sorry for the dumb question with mallala down here they have general practice days go there pay ya $110 entry and go play around does sandown do days like that?

Hi All - a nice mid winter cruise - weather dependent - sounds enticing to me. Any interest from others? I'm not fussy about a route as long as it's out of town - the cruise up to Kinglake and back is not bad and doesn't take all day either.

Hello,

I'm a new member and would like to know what the requirements are to attend a track day, such as Winton?

In the past I have needed a helmet, is this still the case and are there any other requirements?

I actually just saw the thread track day requirements. Apologies

Im interested in doing the motorkhana day in Nov, regs says cars need to be roadworthy. I assume that doesn't exclude dedicated track cars? engine swap, no door cards etc. ok for this event?

See if you can view supp regs for a previous event.
Scrutinteering basically checks helmet & seat for Australian standards sticker, checking fire extinguisher is within date, checking seat belts/harness, and making sure nothing is going to fly around inside the car or is not properly fastened in the engine bay.
"Roadworthy condition" is sort of like a blanket statement for saying the car meets basic safety requirements.
But yeah, unregistered cars are allowed.

champion, thanks.

Did not see a GOR run mentioned anytime during 2016 , was there one late 2015 or is that run off the agenda for some reason?  I am not rejoining so would that be a problem anyway as I remember we used to do Members only and Open runs also.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
