Sandown Driver Training - 17th October.


Recommended Posts

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.

So it looks like were all racing (even though it's a track day) I can't wait. All I have done in my car so far is drive it around the block a few times. Need two things at the moment to make me happy as Larry... and none of them involve a woman... sad when you get you get life’s priorities in order!

PS: I just got my GTR... I hope it will wear off soon :rofl:

Have you run ur car on the dyno as yet to check everything and see what power it is making?

Out of interest who says what is too fast on the day. Obviously if your spinning and heading for the dirt then thats too far, but if you are keeping it on the black stuff?

I'm guessing what you're asking is what is the definition of "5.7 Vehicles are to be kept to less han competition speed." I think the officials (clerk of course, flag marshalls) will have a word to you if you are seen to be driving beyond your limits, or endangering other drivers.

One rule that's stated clearly is "NO OVERTAKING WILL BE PERMITTED IN CORNERS AT ANY TIME". Laps aren't being timed anyway... but doesn't mean u cant bring your own stop watch :) or if you wanna go Hi-tech, use an infrared lap-timer :(

I'm excited. :D

Not yet. I was planing on getting a tune done last Thursady but that turned to shit like every other plan I had for the car so far. It's just has a standard CAT put in and will probably only do a tune after I swap for a high flow or "so called" high flow.

No Idea at all but would like to think around the 280 - 300rwkw mark???

Thats all good and well, but does that mean if you have a GT3 Porsche you wont be allowed to go any quicker then 1:35s on the day...or as long as you are keeping the thing straight you will be right to punch out 1:25s:confused:

Short answer: I dont know :(

Try ringing NDSOC... ask for clarification. I'm sure they will run through everything in the compulsory driver briefing anyway.

Hope it's not wet on the day as I found out my Simex tyres are totally shit useless in the wet. Can't even get traction at 30-40k/h... found out embarrasingly tonight... won't be appropriate for my gts-t oversteering left and right on the track... especially when this is suppose to be a track training day, not a drift training day.

Exactly.... no one will be pushing you to go hard. It's not about how fast you can go, but more about driving techinques on the track, learning how to take the best line through corners, and getting a feel for being on the track. You will be fine.

:)

I expect it will be a totally subjective decision of the Clerk of Course &/or Stewards. Basically, if you are acting like a tool, then you will be spoken to. If you don't heed that warning, you will be asked to pack up and take your attitude somewhere else.

There's nothing to stop people going 'fast', but there will be a lot of cars running at different speeds on the track at the same time, plus drivers with vastly differing experience and it really is a question of common sense. After all it's meant to be a driver training day as well as a fun day and not getting into 'serious' racing/practice.

I can guarantee you, you will get HEAPS of track time.

At the Maseratti day, you might get 12 laps for your $125. At this day, you will get that many laps in your first session! And for only $85. And you get instruction thrown in.

So come on down, you can simply roll up on Sunday morning and enter then.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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
