Motorsport is dangerous. You or your car could get hurt etc etc etc

There are walls to hit, it's no Wakefield park. The only place where the wall is at the edge of the track is on the last turn. Everywhere else it is either open or kitty litter before the wall. They are no closer than EC's walls, and there's no fast 180kph turns....

If it's on a weekend I can probably come along (not as an participant, but as a photographer)

I will bring my new Digital SLR and lenses along..

I should be right for about 350 photos on the 1Gb Drive

Hey Jason,

I have a 6gb X-Drive you can off-load the photo's onto if need be and I am there on the day :)

Which DigiSLR do you have your paws on? :eek:

silver-arrowz- yeah thought so, i was just curious, might join in for the track day though.

prank- i actually just missed out on getting that car in my avatar, it was an already prepared drift car, the bid went too high. but i picked up a 95 model 180sx instead at the auctions, i should have the keys in my hands by next wednesday. ill probably sell it soon though, and then order another 180...this time ill make sure i have a 97 model, i absolutely love em, they look awsome and they are rare in sydeny and oz......but another 5 gees ontop of a 95 model 180.

yours looks preety good aswell man, black looks the best.

i just checked the motoconcepts website and it says the entry fee is $200 for this day?? i am not willing to spend $200 + petrol for one day...

but if we r getting some sort of group discount i am interested in participating... :P

$200 less discount sounds about right, it was 140 for last full day at EC but that was a weekday - fair bit more on the weekend.

Most fun you'll ever have for $200......

My whale did 1.11. Its another great track, both wakefield and oran park own EC.

We'll have to do a day down there when it cools down a bit, they have cheap open practice days pretty regularly

how much did it cost u last time u went to wakefield? i am thinking $80 (entrance fee) + $30 (licence fee, i'm first timer) + $60 (return trip petrol cost) + $80-90 (petrol spent on track..) = $250-260 (+ lunch) ?? am i on the right track?? ^_^ thanks

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
