Don't nominate a time for the day - say like 2mins or something. That way you'll be put into the 'not been on track before group' and you can go as slow or fast as you like to begin with in the morning. If you get faster, they'll move you to a faster group for the arvo. Simple, and that way you'll have no arseholes running up the back of you to put pressure on you.

Won't have to do numbers - Maserati will supply your car a number, and you'll have to stick it onto your car. Any existing numbers will not be read anyway.

I had Michelin Pilot Sports on my last car when I went to sandown last. Had alot of beading, but didn't use much tread. Can't tell u about semi comps... but I imagine a set of semis should last 4 - 5 track days?

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.  

different track events mate.

LOL...i nominated my time at 1:35, which i hope is about 5 seconds off what ill be able to get. If im nowhere near 1:30s then it will be proof that i cant drive for sh1t cause the car should be capable of thos times :uhh:

Snowman, what sort of dollars did you pay for the Ferodos? The WA guys have some Hawks going for $275

Yeh, I'm trying to get some Endless ceramics... but can't get Brent from Nengun to reply to my emails :mad:

What are a set (Front) of Ferodos worth, and which ones exactly? :)

PS Troy, you've got me down for 2 of them bonnet straps right? how do they attach to the bonnet?

Ferodo 2500s...and its only the one strap. Ill have to run around and check a few ppls cars, as the proper ones ive made have been for an S14 and R32 GTST, the dodgy ones that worked a trick at PI are basically universal, but werent the most elegant solution.

Thanks mate, you know mine is a 32R right?

And I need 2 - one for my mate's Integra Type-R too :mad:

Cheers - want me to wire you some dollars?

Yeh why not, how much you offering? If i put a Nismo badge on it will you pay $350?:mad:

Dont worry about the coin, its all good, on the day is fine. Towards the end of the week when we have numbers finalised ill do a quick head count and buy all the parts in one hit

Roy/Ronin - Ferrodo 3000's were $280 for a set of fronts at racebrakes.

The 3000's are basically the track only ones (cause they are too damn noisey otherwise) where the 2500's are the street/track comprimise.

Adz - unless you get some cheaters then 1.35 is probaly right. Infact damn good.

Oh hang on - your driving a RWD car. Sorry I forgot - you guys should be running the flat 1.20's thats right cause they are so much better than us poor blokes with 4wd.

Do they grind at all when cold, are they eating the rotors after the 4 track days. I ask because a friend ate a set f Harrop rotors using pretty hard core Pagids:(

Your finally coming around to our way of thinking :freak:

Its ok guys - we all know we only get 4wd cars to cover our short falls as drivers.

I mean anyone can drive a GTR fast. Roy tells me there's no skill at all in it anyways.

But then Roy also tells me Sandown is just a drag strip (with 12 corners in it!!?) and that there's no reason a GTR should be quicker around there - just like there's no reason for them to be quicker around the Island - so we'll just have to wait and see.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
