be warned your car will get quite dirty, due to the bore water.

Its not just the bore water, also brake dusk and rubber :P:D I did this in my white 33 and was extremely dirty but well worth it.

My mate just got a S2 r33 so I might try convince him to try out.

Thats fine, Times running out to pay, Updated list to reflect who has payed. I will leave payments open until the 14th. If we don't have enough people by then it will be cancelled and I will refund the money. Get those payments in :P If anyone else wants to get involved, pls pm me.

No probs. At this stage will probably want to keep it at 10 people as it will be morning only. So still have at least one spot left, and need to firm up one or two people, and the people who havent payed. So send me a pm when you decide.

I'm considering.... my wife's birthday is very close to the date, so i need to plan this carefully.

Otherwise.... :thumbsup::)

easy... book her in for her birthday present :rofl:

I have some photos of the R31Club day the other weekend on my myspace gallery. (click the JMedia logo :w00t:)

Are non nissan owners allowed to enter in you wet mayhem???

Ok this is going ahead :domokun:. looks like it will be 9 to 10 people. Which will give us all a good amount of time on the skidpan. Will need to spend the weekend after cleaning the car for marques in the park lol.

i cant see any reason why it has to have rego if it is on a private road.

A week rego permit should be fine. might want to get cejay to check with derek first though...

Skyline wont be ready. She will be running but i wont have enough time to run the engine in.

I will prepare the mustang for the day :P

I cant wait to get the liner back on the road :)

Will be good to see a mustang there, a shame that it will get dirty though :). There is still one more spot available if anyone is interested, as there is only 9 at the moment, but we can run it with 9 if we have to. I havent heard back from one person about if theyre going or not, so it's open to whoever wants it.

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
