Newbie Track Days

New Here. Melbourne. 

I'm just starting out with my R33 GtsT track car. The car is mild but its set up and ready to go. I'm looking to get some experience on the track with the goal to eventually do sprints etc. Can anybody help me out and point me in the right direction with Clubs etc and where to begin. 

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to :sau: 

Track days are addictive. You'll have a ball. SAU'ers are very accomodating to new guys.

SAUVic runs events all the time, you're best bet is to contact them.

Thanks Christian, I'll do that.

Cheers Luke.

Welcome,

 

Joining Sau Vic is a good idea. For  sprints you generally need to be a member of a cams affiliated club (sau vic is) and a cams l2s licence. You can do cams come and try days without this requirement to get a feel for it and see if it's for you. Alternatively, tampered motorsport runs days at Sandown, cams licence or club membership not required but you have to purchase one of their day licenses for $20. There is one on at Sandown this sunday and there are spots still available. 

There will also be an sau vic day at Sandown end of september.

 

Good luck and hopefully will see you out there at some stage :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

The most important thing is don't worry too much about the state of your car or being slow.

Anyone who has done a track day has been in your shoes before and remembers it well. It's really the most non-judgmental car experience I've seen before.
I spent many years modding and upgrading and then found when I went there the car was WAY over kill for a beginner. (still very much a beginner!!)

However the nerves only last .,.. maybe the first couple of sessions, and any apprehension you had will be obliterated near instantly.

+1 for getting out there!

Thanks for the insight. Positive comments sure do go a long way and I'm stoked with some of the feedback I'm hearing on the forum. 

Thanks again?

      Tomei Oil Pump on Early R32 RB26 Crank?

      By groovezog · Posted

      Hey, thanks dude. Freedom to do whatever one wants to with their own car and build, but personally I don't want anything that's too precious. If I can't beat on it when I feel inspired, what's the point of having a car like this? And if I break something, it's me who's going to be fixing it myself...

      Admin delete if not allowed please, I just purchased an r32 GTST with a Gtr front bar , grill I assume bonnet? (maybe) I have 2 questions he told me it had an RB25det I’m new to the RB world, and this is the photo I have taken and also I noticed a piece near my suspension broken is this fixable , will update new photos tomorrow once I have lifted her up and removed the LHS wheel I want to know if there is ways around this , I didn’t notice anything as it drove with no knocks on the suspension or weird feeling    the car feels sluggish, and the rpm cluster literally goes to 3.5-4k rpm and when you put your foot down it dances around like the local girl on Canterbury road or Sefton playhouse the car sat for 8 years he said the oil was dropped and re done , I noticed the oil was very clean car starts no problems by all means it’s not a clean car it is a project but doesn’t need much, knowing me I will go overboard the colour is horrible car has 88k kms hardly driven needs a few things but it’ll be fun to build properly    so guys is this an rb20 or rb25 and what is this bracket called? Can it be fixed thanks

      rb26, build year ? check my math

      found this on the forum , suggests I am in the range  ----------------------------- From the segmented (potentially incorrect) information I've found that;  Early R32: RB26000XXXX to RB26002XXXX  Mid R32: RB26003XXXX (V-Spec I RB26-03XXXXX - Reference Classic Register) Late R32: RB26004XXXX (V-Spec II RB26-042XXXX - RB26-045XXXX - Reference Classic Register) Early R33: RB26005XXXX Mid R33: RB26006XXXX (as per the engine in this R32 V-Spec II, which is what I'm concerned about from legitimacy perspective) Late R33:  RB26007XXXX Early R34 (2000+):  RB26008XXXX ----------------------
