NOTE: All the rules etc are in my standard track day email which I will send you when you PM me your email address. Also mention if you want to be on the mailing list or are just in for this day.

For the volunteer list, if we get several people we can swap roles - so not one person is stuck with a job for the whole session.

in.. I was up for the May track day anyhow..

dress code is yes.. plus you need a giant pea on your head josh.. to match your brain

hmm.. hopefully I can get an upgrade done in time or I'll be last .. that can't be good..

I think its still a bit of EOI If I am guessing correctly?

So we will need at least 15 cars or it is not worth going ahead with the day.

p.s. you guys who don't have one will also have to factor in $50 for a QR racing licence I believe.. this requires a valid drivers licence i think as well.. i.e. if you have lost your licence currently you might have to sit out.

Can someone confirm or deny this to a CERTAINTY because at willowbank (drag strip) many were sure you required a non suspended provisional drivers license to race but thats not the case as I raced there on l's way ago......im not having a go at you gordo I just want to know as on the day I will have a license however it will most likely be lacking points.....ie suspended. I doubt this should matter as having a license doesnt even matter for getting a cams license or andra license etc..if anyone knows, let me know.

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
