Guys, and Gals.

If you don't feel comfortable taking your car out on the track, why not come along and learn to be a flag marshal. You get to see the action from the other side of the fence, up close. You can watch how people take various lines through the corner that you're at. And its a GREAT photo spot.

If you can help - and we need the help - PM me, or email:

[email protected] or [email protected]

If anyone wants a copy of the supp regs and entry form e-mail me and I'll forward a copy.  All the requirements are detailed in the supp regs:

[email protected]

I went to CAMS on thursday to renew my licencs (expires 30/9) and they advised I should have the new one well before the event.    I believe that licences will also be available on the day, but check with the NDSOC to be sure (Greg: if you read this please confirm).  As indicated you also need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the CAMS book, but it can be useful if your planning on doing some actual races.

The max entries for the event is 120 - I'd get in early to be sure.

Supp Regs can be downloaded from the club's website - ndsoc.com.au.

Yes, Steve, there will be licence applications available on the day. And you can join NDSOC on the day as well, although if you're a member of SAU, then that will count.

I have sent my application form to CAMS today for LS2 licence. How long wil it take to get the licence approved? Will I make it in time? I shuold have the car registered and so on by then.
If you haven't heard back from CAMS by the week of the event (ie October 12 0r 13), ring CAMS and ask them to fax confirmation to you.

(If you don't have a fax, PM me for my fax number)

I would suggest you get your entry in as early as possible. This is a popular event, and could easily fill up before the day.

...go-one Geoff, get out there and defend the gtst s against all those cheaters :D you too Roy

I would, as i want to use this as a practice day for the Maserati day.

But i think my car is beign used as a dog kennel these days, until it gets an engine its about all its good for:)

I have to be in SA next weekend, so praying its ready for the trip, otherwise i have to fly and use a hire car which is fine but they will fly me in Mon morning and back Fri night so i dont get a chance to enjoy two weekends in Adelaide.

Should be a good chance to put an easy 1300kms on the new engine and throw a few fresh sumps of oil etc at the engine

Greg - I have been geeting a few calls / PM's asking about availability for this event still. Could you please update us?

Thanks.

Still plenty of places left. But please don't wait too long and flood me with applications at the last moment. Invariably, that leads to people missing out, and we don't want that.

Looks like my car will not be ready at this rate... have picked it up from engineer but no certificate.

Can I still drive on the track day if it has not been registered yet? It says something about it only being elegable for registration to race on the form?

I have sent in all forms and bought all my gear (helmet, fire ext.)

Yes, "registerable" is OK. The main problem at Sandown is noise upsetting the locals, so as long as the car meets noise restrictions (75dB(A) at 30 metres drive-by), then it will likely be OK.
noise restrictions (75dB(A) at 30 metres drive-by).

Noise limit is pretty much the same everywhere. Last HSVOC Track day @ PI also 75dB at 30m drive-by. That's I was told by one of the track officials.

yep, and even the v8 supercar with the side exit exhaust pointing at the noise meter didn't go ver :P

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
