OTHER INFORMATION:

- We are negotiating a tyre fitter as we speak, however this will not be just for your convenience. It is expected that you make the effort to get tyres fitted prior to the event and only use this service in the event you run out on the day. (Still looking for one).

- In the afternoons Tandem session, you do NOT have to run tandem if you don't feel comfortable. The director has the right to exclude person's from running tandem if he feels they aren't capable. You will still be able to have single runs in between tandem runs.

- A BBQ lunch and drinks will be available when we take a lunch break around 12:30

- 2 Trophy's will be presented on the day. These will be: Directors Choice and Scrutineers Choice (To be presented after track cleaning).

- Any driver(s) and or spectator(s) will/can be asked to leave the track if found not following instructions of the day or found to be endangering themselves and others.

This can and will result in the person being banned from the track and future events.

Any queries dont hesitate to contact me or Damo.

Not if you hit something :D:thumbsup:

ah thats where all the skill comes into it that all the track racers say drifters havent got. its a different story when you hit the hump at 120+ km/h and you are trying to unsettle the car.

its not the best fealing but it beats going in a straight line to the next corner. haha. na i dont mind either and i will more than likely be at the track day the day after this day having a fun day of driving.

be good if some of you guys atleast come out and had a look. it should be a big day as we are trying to put a lot into it and incorage people to get out there.

there will also be a BBQ at lunch time if you are scared of hunger.

seriously thoe wog boy if you came out for a few quick laps sideways you would be possibly the first person in tas to have drifted an r34. but im sure you dont care. oh and i could all most 100% garente that all the snappers would be lapping it up as they take favor to cars like yours.

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
