Event_Booking_Form_.pdfAll,

As per below, following on from the SAU drive day we have another chance to do a Track day at OP Grand prix cct. These Aaron McGill track days are by far the best track day you ever get to do. All you need is a helmet, non flammable long sleeve top and bottoms and a drivers licence. There is no need to be club members or apply for a L2S, you just turn up and drive.

I know it’s a Monday and you will have to call in sick or take a leave day, but this normally keeps the idiots away and mid week days are always more fun and safer due to very few people being there.

The format of the day is very Open, first timers get 3-4 laps around the track with an instructor. We are then broken into Slow, Med & Fast groups and set out on the track for 20 min sessions. There are normally 3 qualified instructors available and we get to take passengers in each others cars, yes PASSANGERS, in today’s environment this is rare! We normally stop for lunch (BBQ supplied) and then have a 5 lap grid race, which again is very rare and is a once off experience that should not be missed.

We then return to 20 min sessions and then the last few hours is normally open track time for you to enjoy the rest of the day.

I have spoken to Aaron and he has agreed to a SAU club cost of $200 per person providing we can get 10 people. I think I can commit about 7 people from my work, so we only need a couple extras to get this price.

Post up if you are interested.

Aaron is available to if you have any other questions on the day, and payment can be made directly with Aaron and he does take visa. Make sure you tell him you are from SAU to get the discount.

Event form attached.

See you all there, and lets make this another good day!

Thanks, Paul

Bear B!tch, Yeah I know and they are by far the best days, I rate them better then the old Moto Concept days, mainly becuase of the 5 lap grid start race!

If everyone lets me know if they have paid, I can keep track of the numbers. I will do my best to edit and keep this list up to date.

Numbers

Ralph 200Sx (Paid)

Reedy (Paid)

Boostzed (Paid)

N1, I had the same issue so I just edidted the post and re-loaded the document. Its a PDF document, Aaron can email or fax the application though if this does not work.

Sindows,

Contact Aaron to find out about payment requirements

your actually going to go on the track this time?

Im not afraid of a track day if thats what your getting at - done them before.....

I thought id still be sick on the day, so didnt enter.

Needed flaggies anyway - so i helped out as best i could.

My GTR is all repaired - ill sort out the tyres, then add an oil cooler. Then im set

N1GTR,

No offical timing on Aaron's days, but Im looking to organise something that we can share around.

I dont know what the issue is with the PDF attachment, perhaps a Moderator can work it out, if you send me a PM with your e-mail address I will send a copy.

Never said you were scared, i am just waiting for some GTR excuses :(

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
