Will confirm ASAP.  I had a look at my car today and it has no engine  :)  Fingers crossed it will be ready in time. . . . .

ditto for me.... i'm waiting for my camber arms to arrive. will confirm again.

Car is getting tuned next week so will confirm then. (time of work shouldnt be a problem, fingers crossed...)!

this will be my first track day! (expect some supernatural crazy speeds from me or not lol...)

How often do parts break and stuff on trackdays? (i need to be able to drive home to the sunnycoast, all my friends a working!)

Is there anything else i need to know?

You only have to go as hard as you want. Great to see so many new people siging up for this day !!!

I will be put some new Time Attack results up soon by the looks of it.

Don't forget to fix Tim or myself up for the day ASAP as we are getting very close now !!!

Got some q's:

1. Whereabouts do i go? straight down champions way to QLD raceway and then where?

2. Can i hire a helmet?

3. How much is it to buy a helmet and from where on Bris Northside is a good place to get one?

4. Can the helmets be open faced or do they need to be the closed face style with visor?

thanks :)

1. Drive straight in. Go to the left hand end of the carpark and you will see there should be a gate open to let you in to the pit straight (albeit from the wrong end). Get yourself a parking bay.

2. Yes you can hire helmets - from memory they are only about $5-$10 to hire.

3. You can buy cheap helmets from the likes of Tyretech - another good one is Cash Converters.

4. Your preference

Give Qld Raceway a call and find out about the helmet hire etc. 0754619100. I got mine from the Bike shop in Marooka, they have a good range there.

Also the day is booked out. If you have not paid yet there are no spaces left. Looks to be the biggest track (1/2) day we have had yet !!

Don't forget to arrive at 7:30am so we can get all the formailies out the way and get on the track as quick as possible.

(Also MountainRunner == GTRman1992. I am trying to make my login the same on all the forums I am on).

If everyone who has paid could make sure they have sent myself or Tim their contact details that would be a great help in case we have to call you for some reason.

Also anyone who wants to be added to the email list for the next track day (30 Aug), just PM me your email address. They day is already 1/2 booked and almost 1/4 paid up.

Paul

Zymotic,

Yes I have received your payment and a spot has been allocated for you on Monday.

Others confirmed from Skylines Australia include:

Maccattack

Evo Cam

There were several others from Skylines Australia that expressed an interest, however did not come up with the $$$$$$, I hope that they can make it to the track day on the 30th August 2005.

Regards,

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
