You can use it - I built it (!) and has a Manfrotto camera head on it - super stable... I just have to find the quick release plate to put in the bottom of the camera.

I assume that th 32 and 33 headrest uprights are the same width apart?

Ill throw in for a case of beer for the camera crew

Hey Troy - make that bourbon of some form and you got yourslef a deal!!!!! :jk: you know I'll do it for nothing.

I'll be at this day and judging by every other track day I've been to I guess I'll be filming/taking photos - I reckon I'm getting pretty good at it now.

Anyways, so yeah I'll help ya out Ni and I'm sure on the day there will be alot of other spectators willing to help out with footage as well.

I have filled out the entry form for track day and will fax it in on Monday with TBA in all CAM related fields. Hope I get in. On the Maserati Club entry form it states $125 for the day (Roy's original link), Nissan Datsun entry form (snowman's link in VIC section) it's $85.

Anyway, it's my first track day and will require a bonnet thing'ie (Roy, can you bring another on the day and I will pay you for it then?) Also need to buy a helmet and fire extinguisher. I have also only driven my GTR a grand totalof about 40km since picking it up (from transport co. to home and home to compliance place, where it's at now) I have never owned such a car B4 and never been on a track, should be fun but I bet I clock the slowest time for the day:)

How bad are these track days on tyres? Anyone wanna take a stab in the dark like: 5 HRS Sandown = 5000km normal driving (25% off the life of you tyre) even though it just a training day.

No one will care if you are taking it easy and getting to kow the track and car. Just be sensible and ease into it.

Road tyres will handle it pretty well. My fronts have done 4 track days and are still pretty good even though they show a good bead of rubber on the edge of the treads from PI last weekend. I bought them 2nd hand for $100 each at about 70% remaining too.

Thanks for the info. As I'm a virgin to the track I would also like to know...

The numbers that they stick on your car window or door, can they be made and a number picked B4 the day. I ask because I have access to a swag of digital print and laminate cutting tools and thought it would be cool to do up a nice decal for the number (should look good while going around and make for great pics of my first track day)

Tyres info is much appreciated. I don't really have road tyres on though. Would you say the same rules apply to semi comp tyres? Better / Worse wear than raod tyres?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
