Wooow, sounds like a big event. It's time for me to get in....before I expire...hehehehe. I AM IN. Will be my first track day and also my first even with SAU (only took 2 years..heheheh) Car is ready....day is perfect.

Excuse the silly questions...do you need a helmet? (never understood this helmet business, hate motorbikes). I hope I will have my CAMS license by than. A second question, do you need different tires or you can run on the road ones? 3rd Can you remove silencer from the muffler? (Mavrick wanna BUZZ the tower)

Well see you guys there....I'll take "1HYPE1" with me....heheheheeh

1. yep you'll need a helmet, motorbike helmets are mostly used and need to be Australia Approved.

2. you can run street tyres, alot of people do, or if u can afford it u can put on some semis for the day.

3. not too sure about the rules for that, havent been to a circuit track day but with the helmet its pretty much consistant with all the other types of track days

Purchase. They can get as cheap as $100 I think, maybe even $80.

Check this thread for SAU club member discount on helmets. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119575

Cheers Adam. I thought it was going to cost me an arm and a leg but around the $100 seems very reasonable... and much better than wearing a grubby hire helmet.

Well I better get organized...I think if I could afford my car...helmet will be no problem. I hope they do not ask also for a harley..hehehhe

Adam...just wondering that yelow-black 180 or 200 SX whatever was (Ben I think was his name) did had any exhaust system of the drift day? To me sounded pretty loose....

Cheers,

EUG.

That was James, I think he had a straight through pipe. The point is that the exhaust has to exit outside the car. You can't just dump it out somewhere half way along the length of the car.

Also I guess cos he was an organiser he got away with it a bit.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      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)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      High temp brake fluid?

      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?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?
