Bris - check out the track event dates thread at the top of this section.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98397

I dont think they are back there until October. :D

PS. We got these dates at the start of the year, so they may have changed. Best bet is to check the Maserarti website.

Hmm, i dont have a significant other to help finance my addiction :

If work clears up a little i can hopefully get a weeks leave to get the car sorted, its goign to be difficult.

...unless Al wants to co-enter his car...LOL...with my semis on it will beat Scotsman ;)

I would bet money on it :P

If it was 2 weeks later i would have been a much better chance.

Does anyone know when Maserati are next back at Sandown?

...as for Blue vs White R34...your bith lucky they wont be getting the Silver Bullet up their ass, completely out of control under brakes...something to do with running out of talent trying to keep up :D

White paint is lighter than blue paint so Snowman needs more POWER !!!!!!!

Good to see Snowball having a crack after so long, gonna be an interesting group of cars, I'll chase Snowy, Snowy can chase Aaron, Aaron can chase Frank, Frank can chase Sam...

Oh, and Scotsman should be in the same boat as me..... providing all the above people are racing on the day..

CAN'T WAIT!!!!

hopefully im in your group so I can chase you :dry:

And I'll be chasing you Ray!

:mellow:

...but I think chasing you could be bad for my/my cars health...

:mellow:

Bris, if you need a pair of unskilled hands to assist you in getting the car ready for sandown, let me know.

Scotsman I think is out. But someone should tell Benno since this event is on a Sunday and he recently missed out on the Maserati Day because of his arm.

And Aaron - Blue paint might be heavier but I make up for it with all the clear coat I'm missing. :mellow:

...its a bit of time, and a bit of money...doesnt look like the brakes will be sorted in time either, so after it takign a bit of time and being done right, dotn want to undo the panel beaters good work by blowing, bending something because i have rushed.

I want to do at least a few long drives and a few hard stops on the new brake setup before gopignt o the track with them...otherwise i may need to grab them back off you for a week.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
