Just out of curiosity, have we considered asking other clubs to our trackdays? I know we are close with RENEW but what about clubs like the WRX and Evo clubs or Supra, I wouldn't mind taking them on every oncec in a while.

Hahaha, i tried something with the supra guys. They're keen on a drag day though which is good, but whether or not we get the numbers is a different thing (and that could mean we lose money.....a lot of it)

Im working on something for next year that is going to be an invite event to other clubs :)

Arent we cool enough for you?

we could allocate a few invite spots for some of the other clubs so we don't have to completely rely on only one club to come up with the numbers.....

if we could get that organised for sometime next year, it would be so awesome!!

I think it's the other way around, we are too cool for him.

James - I did an Ian Luff day with the HSV owners, lets just say little ol' lizzeh spanked a few V8's! :yes:

Edit... by a few, I mean 1 and by spanked, I mean won by default coz the other car broke down.

Hahahahhahaaha! Well.. at least you won! they dont have to know how... just know that you did..

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

well many many years ago we did discuss running with the WRX and HSV days, they were extremely disinterested and unco-operative, so we went our own way with track days.

But I thought there are plenty of track days available to club members at the moment, both private practice and competitve super-sprints....

pssssst.... motorkhana days with WRX club :D

Those are fun.

Except when you own a RWD car and the WRX guys set up the courses really tight. So not only can't you compete on time, you also don't have the room required to "express yourself". :D

The handbrake in the Z is pissweak. Even with the cable tightened and on wet concrete, I have to be getting some serious yaw before it'll lock. Its easier for me to clutch dump to get the car sideways than trying to reef the handbrake.

And I think the WRXs are scared of us RWD Nissan folk, so they stack the deck in their favour by turning the taps on (as well as shrinking the distance between the cones). Not that I mind, it just makes it even easier for me to go sideways.

Except when you make it to the semi finals of the khana sprint race only to be told that you're the 5th driver left and the other 4 WRX's will compete in the finals just because it's a WRX Club run day madfawk.gif

Surely that wouldn't have happened, not WRX owners Tosh. LOL

There is work a-foot in having a cams registered Zed (Z32) car club and it will be seeking like minded,

import enthusiasts, car clubs for good times, oh, and track time. :pirate:

    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
