It's a good idea BUT to hire Mallala just for a weekday it's a solid few thousand because they need a firey and ambo peeps i believe, as for the weekend well thats a good few MORE thousand! As for A.I.R. I believe it's useable now, but not sure on the quality of it as i havn't seen it lately, and i have no idea of costs there...... one would think ALOT cheaper than Mallala. I'd say check the Mallala website and go out in a group and just cut laps on a practice day and have a BBQ lunch and stuff, would be a hell of a lot cheaper than hireing any track....... Just a thought

I looked into this once, for a weekend day its ~$3000-3800, ambulance on standby at track is approximately $800 for an 8 hour session. These prices are off the top of my head as I can't find my original email and it was a while ago. But basically the prices are great if you can organise 30-50 people, => 50 under $100 but otherwise for a small group it might pay to all turn up to a open circuit day and pay the $100

i too have investigated the above figures and its about spot on... unless you can get cams to approve a grant for the day (my contacts with cams board are no longer so im out of the question) then we wont be able to... generally you can get a grant for cams to cover part of the $ (say half)...

if anyone does want to try and round up 40 cars id be more than happy to pay 100-150 for a full 8hour prac day... grip and no grip :)

I'd head up there, I would have to take it a little easy (not running nice exxy brake pads) but would most definitely still hit the track.

I would like to get subframe bushes and 3.9 diff installed prior.. If not its no biggy, just lay big single spinners as I leave corners.

Its easy. Just turn up for one of the practice days.

Only costs around $80 from last time I did it from memory.

You get around 5 sessions of 15min each.

That was with bikes, cars and open top cars all having their own 5 sessions.

Is great fun you can go at your own pace with no real rules pitched at you except common sense.

There can be anything from race cars to toyota echos.

Helmets long sleeves etc needed of course.

Only thing I can say that intentional drifting is out as there are other cars out there trying to get around as quick as they can and may get pissed off.

Last time I spun out a few times as I built up a little more courage trying a little too hard.

Count me in for a day out. I dont get to many SAU functions but definetly in for a track day.

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit.
