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.

no racing?

can you explain a little more?

Ikr. The track doesn't have long enough strats from my understanding to "race". Overtaking if indicated etc Will get more deets.

sounds like mdtc.

havnt been there, but heard its a tight little track.

I want something where the gtr can stretch her legs....

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
