nissky,

If your willing to lend me your car for a session I can make sure that your rears don't make it home if you like!!! (Jokes)

Will be good to have you along... another member of Team Track Day... Welcome.

Jamezilla,

Will be also good to have you out there... make sure that you bring some long gear and $20 so that you can go back down to Melb and brag about how you have been round EC in a skyline... you don't have to tell them it wasn't yours and you weren't driving!

Will update the thread as soon as I look at my bank balance, visit the forums, and your money has arrived people that have just deposited.

Dan.

Silver,,,it's a bit hard to explain but yes slotcars do have brakes,,,It's all about your motor's torque and braking only comes into effect when you get right off the throttle,,,,Ha Ha I'll be doing a lot of that on Thursday.

Dan,,,any chance we can get them to cut 8 slots in the track,,,,.

But seriously,,,,what time should I get there and if it rains (Please NO) should I use my street tyres. Duncan HELP!!!!!.

Neil.

7:30am - Arrive early so u can choose your garage and get yourself setup (remove any loose items, change tyres/brakes, etc, etc).

8:00am - Marshalls will check over your car (well walk past and look at it pretty much).

8:30am - Drivers briefing (everybody must attend) and that takes about 15-20mins.

9:00am - First cars will be on the track (group 1 - ie most experienced/fastest).

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
