So, I have been invited by family to attend a "track day". To bring our cars out and "race" them around the track. Now, since this is a invite I can reject or decline - my main concerns are if I bring my car to the track I risk blowing something (Rosie is my daily). Once you see the line up - you'll soon discover an easy option for "you got no chance", however, since it's family it's more a fun thing and bringing the performance cars out in the family. Once you see the line up - you'll know I'm the baby out of the 4.

So the lineup for the day:

Uncle #1 Holden Monaro CV8-Z

His son; cousin - RX7 - Bathurst addition.

Uncle #2 Porsche 911 Turbo.

So yeah, no chance at all for me to even compete but I'd like to go out there and have a fun day,

but is it worth risking a breakage? (Are track days amazingly fun that even if you break something you're still on a high etc)

Do many things break when taking your car around a track?

anything I can do to prepare Rosie for as safe as possible run?

How many lap should I do before I start to retire the old lady?

If anyone is interested to come along, they're welcome too. My uncle (Who is bringing his 370z not the Monaro) is organising it. Trying to organise it for September. It's a fairly strict track (No racing, no idiots etc) very curvey track etc So yeah, small track day with a few peeps.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
