Can we take passengers?

Is this limited to skyline owners?

Not limited to Skylines - will need to check wrt passenger, is the passenger going to be registered on the day and running as well? Otherwise Derecks insurance may not allow.

I will be PMing my bank details to everyone over the next day or two. With this number of people it is fine to go ahead, if more show interest will look at expanding the session, but at this stage will be staying to 4 hours in the morning. Most likely people will get 3 runs of 15 minutes each at least, and perhaps a 4th short run. Happy to try some different things on the day if people show interest. But at the moment it will consist of 2 cars being on the track at once, normally 1 is on end the other on the other.

The skidpan is big enough to handle 2 cars at a time. If people have any other ideas or suggestions, happy to hear them.

    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
    • Me either, I tell people to dig now hence the company car lol 
    • It's flawless. (Except for major maintenance bill that non-car people would feel salty about for years afterwards) Just kidding. Life's too short to be bored driving a Camry.
