Came across the Circuit Club web site the other day and noticed they were having a track day on ANZAC Day coming up. Anyone have any experience with these guys or their events?

I haven't actually been to a circuit car club day yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about them from people on SAU and quite a few of the NSCC guys attend these days aswell. So I figured they must be a good thing!

I believe that they'll also have driving instructors on hand to give tips etc.

I've already booked in for the ANZAC day track day, it's shaping up to be a good one! You should come along!!!!

Liz.

All the trackdays i usually go to are with circuit club, can't be pleased more with there trackdays

-Timing is included (free of charge)

-Cars are split into groups A B C D usually 10-15 cars per group so the track isn't overloaded with cars at one time

-Lockup Garages(Use to be provided at wakefield but ithink this is no longer available since the new owners of wakefield park) - free of charge

They usually have a few guys that can show you the lines and braking points for beginners.

Prizes to the fastest guys of the day

Also their days are usually on weekends or public holidays if you intend on going book 3-4weeks in advanced because by the last 2 weeks they are usually sold out.

If you go with these guys you won't be disappointed, been around for YEARS a very well organised group.

I have been to one of their track days at Wakefield. Well organised event, plenty of track time, official timing included and a pretty friendly group of people. The day I was there, there was a good range of different cars such as Intergras, WRX's, a few Skylines and 200's, even a Ferrari and a kit car.

I would definately go again.

Liz.. last time i went to wakefield after my turbo upgrade..

i ONLY got 2 LAPS per session!!!.. stupid car was overheating.. hitting close to 120degrees after 1 warmup and 2 hard laps..

i NEED A OIL COOLER before i head down :D but i'm so tempted to put the funds towards camshafts for more power ahaha

previously at least i got 3 hard laps with my old turbo which is alright.. so i'm out for the meantime..

I've done a lot of Circuit Club days.

I quite like them. They have instructors on hand (in case you need it, and depending on your insurer you can say its driver training and so probably be covered under insurance), and most of the attendees are sensible. You get the occasional hero (like the idiots driving the Accord Euros at EC earlier this year in the "novice" session that decided to try passing people around the outside of Turn 1) but generally people are well behaved.

I should be at the next EC day.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
