Who want's my spot @ Sandown Driver Training on 17th October


Recommended Posts

I have a PAID spot for the Driver Training Session @ Sandown this Sunday if anyone would like to attend. You will need a CAMS L2 licence (I think you can get this on the day if you are an SAU Vic member) I have waited untill today to advertise this as I was still holding on a lil glimmer of hope my car would be on the road by then... this is not to be.

Not 100% sure if a swap can be done in this way but it would be a shame to waste... anyone even considering doing some track work in the near future should do this course.

BTW IT'S A FREE SPOT not asking for any money.

Free spot hey!? The rex could use another track bashing. I'd be happy to take you around as a passenger! I was going to be there all day anyways helping people out!

Sold to the frosty look'en fella down the back gettin a-head in life!

I will make my way down on the day and will hold you to the offer of a ride round the track. Should I get in contact with Nissan Datsun to let them know about the swap? Or do you think it could all be sorted on the day?

Yeah I was actually going to say I have done heaps of stuff and will happily let anyone else that wants to do it take Robin's/my spot. I said I was going to be helping out as a passenger for a bunch of guys here anyways on the day - but if no-one else wants to take his place then I surely will.

Should I get in contact with Nissan Datsun to let them know about the swap?
It's OK, I'm watching. But who ever takes your place will need to fill out and sign the application form, for legal purposes (insurance, etc).

You have obviously considered getting another car for the day?

Thats a good point greg - you can take out ANY car robyn. Doesn't have to be the GTR. I did a Murcott motorsport training day and 2 guys in deisel rodeo utes spent the day having a ball around Sandown. Was damn funny.

I have taken my daily driver out before at Winton. Didn't do the sidewalls a lot of good but it was still a lot of fun. Thats what I was going to use if I took your spot cause my GTR is in the workshop.

well if u dont want it i know i need some training... can i bring the ceffy now its road worthy again???
You can bring a Kenworth truck if it's roadworthy! Well, not quite.

Why not come down and enter anyway. It really is value for money, at just $85. Considering the Maseratti day the following week is $125, you might get 12 laps on that day. This day, you will probably get that in your first session on the track, and you should get 3 or 4 sessions on the day. Plus the added benefit of an instructor to help point you in the right direction.

cause i dont get paid til late this month and all funds have been going into fix the ceffy... which isnt "roadworthy" as the front tyres are bald on the outsides... bloody fussy bastards :D

Snowman: haven't those wrx tyres had enough roll on them already :D

i'd take the place if its inark/snowman dont take it - i didn't sign up since i wasn't sure if my car would have a gear box, it does now... not fussed either way, ill probably still come down for a watch regardless

I'm happy for Inark to get the ride if Snowman has had heaps of track work already and since Snowman has said it's coll already consider it Inarks ride (are you gon'na give me a few laps as passenger in the cheffy?)

And as for getting my hands on another car? I have no other car and I would really only have the option of mum's or sisters cars... don't think they would be thrilled with that!

lol just tell em ur going down the shops for a bit...

when u get back and they ask why its over heating.... tyres are bald and the brakes dont work... just say it was hot out :P

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
