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 !!!

Hi Guys

1 week to go!

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,

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
