Just a quick note to let everyone know about our track day coming up Sunday 12 September 2004. There is always people who after the event say they would have come if they were aware it was on.

Details on our site.

Cost is $195 to enter and free entry into the track as all specators over 10 years old pay $10. Oran Park on a Sunday cost HEAPS, this is now one of only two Sydney Circuit Racing tracks and is in big demand. It costs around $4000 to hire on a Sunday, Public Liability $2130, Ambulance $450 or could be more now, time keeper same, events caller, pro race drivers, trophies, staff etc all adds up to over $8000. Divide that by 30 or so cars depends on how many enter and $ ? Last Oran Park Track Day we ran at over $2k loss. Company Secretary ( wife ) says get at least to almost break even or NO MORE. So we need your support. So rather than just talk about it come check it out at least or better still enter.

Plus world of difference from Wakefield during the week or other cheaper tracks out of Sydney, as no pro drivers to instruct, no time keepers with expensive transponders in each car, no events caller or trophies. It is actually very cheap for what you get compared to other similar days, in fact Half price of some.

Pro drivers we have for this one is bigger than ever.

Jose Fernandez Ford Konica cup driver and instructor for Ian Luff driving School.

John Boston very experienced driving instructor also for Ian Luff.

Aaron Lewis vast experience in racing and drives in Improved Production.

Jonathon Web who races in Porsche Cup and usually in top 6.

Yes there is heaps of laps and the biggest collection of imports at a track to compete against the clock.Also drift comp middle of the day.

Zed v's GTR or GTS-T challenge is on.

PS Steve from Just Jap looked after me on a set of R34 GTR wheels for the zed for drifting. Looks tough and every day becoming more of a GTR.

Jimbo Oran Park is like any other track, as long as you dont drive over confidently you will be fine. There's 2 interesting points, the line over the dogleg is blind, so you have to kinda hope you are going the right way over the crest, and the turn onto the straight has a wall.

But its a good, interesting track, even in the short circuit layout its more challenging than Eastern Creek.

Best of all, John has lined up some great instructors for the day, so take advantage of their experience. The right lines are trickier to pick up than at Eastern Creek but it's great once you get it right :P

Come on guys, let's get behind this one. UAS has always taken care of SAU now we need to get as many people involved in this as possible.

 

Go to www.nismo.com.au and download the required forms then register your attendance. This will be a great fun day.

I was going to head back up to Sydney for this, but i spun a bottom end bearing the other day at Phillip Island, so have to sit this one out...i badly wanted to go for a wrap around Oran Park as well. :rant:

These sorts of days are rare, in that a workshop puts it on, so agree people should get behind them and ensure that they continue well into the future :)

Head west along the M4 towards Penrith. Turn left off the Motorway at "The Northern Road". Follow this road for about 25-30mins until you see Oran Park on your left hand side appear from nowhere out of cow pastures :)

i don't think i will get full effect of track without good suspension setup.(lots of body roll)

Is it still worth it with standard setup?

I'd love to have a crack, as it'll be my first time on a track.

I still have the stock setup. True it rolls but doesn't stop you having a good time.

Stock means you're not cheating :)

Check out the body roll:

Getting your car on the track is a hoot and not to be missed, particularly if you can get instruction.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
