....buying a "track bitch" for the past year...
John @ UAS has nicknamed me the track bitch, but sorry i'm not for sale!

I won't be doing any trackdays until I have semi slicks, oil cooler, sump baffle, alloy radiator. So count me in for late 2007 :P

WOW! :0

So some of you are keen.

I spoke to EC today about some options and they are now running a very similar thing as Moto once a month, might be worth a try for newbies as instructors are on hand. I am fairly sure that for the L2S days you require a C4 licence to instruct, which I don't think any club members have? (Paul, correct me if I am wrong.) Also you only need a drivers licence for the drive days, but the cost is $250 a head, graded groups, Advanced, Intermediat and beginers. 20 min sessions. etc.

Anyway, keep the interest coming.

Dan.

Hahaha.

track bitch! track bitch!!

Just get the sump baffle and maybee alloy radiator.The rest can come late next year.Then you wil be able to take it out all you want.

As for heat issues it wont be the middle of summer when this event will prolly take place (crosses fingers) in april around easter week (crosses fingers again).Even then you dont have to thrash it like you stole it.Just ease your way into it and have fun.

Majanal im keen for a day and dont mind travelling to wakefield either cause its only like 2-3 hours, Just do what we suggested in http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...pic=41278&st=40 thread.

My only worries is that im getting my pc cams licence to race in the historics so if its around one of those rounds budget might keep me out but thats all. Should be able to make up one or two more numbers if non sau members are welcome.

benm, no need for alloy rad unless you are having cooling troubles at the moment. Oil cooler is definately at the top of the list though with the power you are making, and whilst sump baffles are a good idea, i wouldnt let them stop you going to the track. It just adds to the thril... lol "will this lap be the one it blows..." haha

...its the charades,

LOL...hey at least the Charade didnt bin in it at turn 8 :) ...and dont laugh, it seems a good driver in a Charade in the wet was quicker then me on that day :lol:

I have to say, i enjoy the Vic scene a hell of a lot. If you can afford you can almost track your car every 2nd weekend...but i do miss the drive days where you ran around like a made chook whoring rides in others cars...

Sprttn days dont accomodate that, and not as fun, and no way you get a 20min session like the drive days, at best you get an 8 minute session.

Ah Team Trackday, and beers at the cricketers arms... Merlis real R33 and Fatz driving a shielas car:D

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
