Sau Nsw Official Track Day Is Coming

[JeeTeeEss25Tee]

Sorry for late post but ye like everyone said top job there Adam thanks for helping us out and same goes for all flag marshals. Also thanks to Neil for lending me some tools and ride with me during my first lap. Also had a nice chat with Simon and had few good tips. I wish there could be more laps with experienced passenger so the newbies can be more familarised with the track. But definitely had great fun even though I ehum spun to the gravel some lap at the beginning Sorry guys! Thx to a SAU member radio out rescue My times were pretty hopeless coz couldnt get much traction at corners (7 consecutive lol) but mainly due to my crappy skill. Anyway overall it was a top day and look forward to the next one!

OK Ill PM you my email

Theres 4 things i like about EC

1. The speed a GTR does along the straight

2. Turn2 exiting to the next corner - work that AWD - i like it sideways out of there

3. Clostest track to most people

4. Great open parking area for pits

But in saying that - ill go back there one day.....

Id like to have a look at how you did your oil cooler - it seems very tight in that space, you have the standard FMIC and airbox pipes still? Still unsure what oil cooler to get

Shaun was saying he noticed the oil at 140 degrees at one point, so yeah, definatly an oil cooler - does yours have a thermostat? Im a bit concerned about warming it up around town

still standard FMIC but with Greddy hard pipe kit. yeah 140 is on the high side, no doubt. with my cooler oil temp doesnt really get over 110. it does have a thermostat. the trust kit i have is pretty good. it has remote filter mount (with built in thermostat and take off for guages) and come with a duct etc to go around the core.

Ill stop whoring the track day thread and PM you - ill get onto the cooler next week then

Duncan,

I agree with your comments, but perhaps a little more organisation and better expectation setting would have made everyone a little happier, the arvo was run like old school, I think I had more track time from 2pm then I did for everything prior, I did have an enjoyable day, sh!ty morning, but a great arvo. Enough said.

I did forget to mention a thankyou for the marshals and everyone who put in on the event. Sorry about having to look at my a$$ but you asked for it Duncan.

All, there was one casulty on the day, my track s**t car has spun a bottom end, should be up and going by the next track day, we have a spare GT4 bottom end sitting around. Briefly the Aaron Mcgill details are as foolows.

Phase 3 May 29 Oran Park Grand Prix Track: For the driver who loves the thrill of clipping an apex, or powering hard out of a turn, we have the 2nd of our 2006 Grand Prix Track drive days. Auto-Motion will provide you with expert in car training from drivers who are actually involved in competitive motor sport. manned flag posts for safety, and a fantastic BBQ lunch. All in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The cost for the full day on the GP track is $239.00.

I know its a Monday which costs you a sick day or an anual day, but with the grid starts and all day passanger time its well worth and price.

Im working on a group discount for SAU, I will post up a new thread once I have had a chance to chat to Aaron. I have about 8-10 people from work coming, there will be the four of us who where out there this weekend, Myself, Ralph (grey 200SX), Steve (White WRX), Shane (R32 GTS-T broken!), I have a SS Doore, 626, C230 Merc and another wrx.

See you all out there.

Mate i think you'll find your quickest lap was 1.33, check natsoft for fastest times. I didn't see anyone running a 1.30, Your quickest was 1.33, sorry to disappoint you. :

Thanks for that, someone said i got a 1.30. I still did alright with a 1.33

I call dibs on that corner for the next day - you, me, the seats, and the car full of crap - food, smokes etc. The best way to enjoy a trackday ....except for driving of course

Haha my last memory of that corner is you guys frantically waving your hands around in the air at me after dropping even more fuel all over the place!

Both you and Shaun - were the only ones with fuel leaking (i was suprised it was only 2 skylines with that problem)

Yeah mine turned out to be a dodgey fuel filler installation during compliance. 2 small spots of epoxy doesnt mean as a fuel-tight seal! Grr..

Same on my car - probably most skylines out there are the same, but most people wouldnt know it as they only cruise with their cars, no trackwork with hard cornering

What turbo/setup have you got? You were flying, ando and i were wondering how its so fast!

It felt pretty good on the day.. my best time was a 1:29.50. My first ever run on a track though, so there is some room for improvement with some decent tyres (Wan Li brand tyres on there at the moment! *Shudder*)
