here's a delimma, should I or should I not take my back seat out and bring a set of extra wheels. I'm too lazy to change it to my thrash wheels but I'm worried about the current wheels even though it has been balanced with new tyres.

If you're worried about them bring em along. Nothing like getting half a lap in and then having to stop.

I've got a similar dilema - do I keep my 19's on which have Michelin Pilot PS2's or change back to 18's stockies with Khumo's and Federal's?

The Michelin's are the grippiest street tyre I have ever driven on but they're also around $900 a corner!

[lingeringsoul]

ah screw it, too much trouble....fairly certain nothing will happen. If anything happens, I'lll just break down and cry.

lol

more coolant than petrol!

How does someone know if they are confirmed for trackday??Also how do you get a garage space??? If so does anyone want to share one?? i just want to leave my things in there tools/jack etc

The garages are $50 for the day, but where everyone puts their stuff in the sheds is free

Hey Mate,

word from a few people is taht all servo's on the way down are out of 98 and have been for 2 weeks.

There is 103 available at the track now, but no idea how much.

I'm thinking of taking down a couple of jerry cans, but will decide tonight.

On a side note, I pick up my Go Pro Motorsport Hero last night. Woo Hoo! Can't wait to test it out.

If anyone has an SD memory card, happy to share the Go Pro love if you want to bring it along. The camera can only take up to 2GB SD cards and you get about 60mins of footage on 2 gig.

You can also set it to take photo's at 5 sec intervals as you're going around.

Cheers

Bobby

Id really like to see the video quality of it, will you be posting vids afterwards?

Hey Steve

Sure will. I've seen some examples on youtube but until I take my own footage I have no idea if they have edited the quality.

The youtube stuff looks great. And this thing is bloody tiny.

Here's a vid from Bathurst drive day

[N1GTR]

Yeah that looks ok for the price. How about sounds though? Does yours do sound?

[NISMO]

Yep, apparantly they have tailored sound to pic up engine noise better.

In all honesty, the mounts are the impressive parts and the adaptors to connect to things like helmets.

Once I get some time, I'm gonna try and rig up a better camera to the mounting system, and use this one more for shots from the front bumper if they let me.

Wakefield were pretty hesitant to allow it, but the shop I bought it from gave them a call an explained what it is. Apparantly Wakie do not want to allow any suction type mounts at all.

[N1GTR]

Ok cool, if i make it down ill come and have a look at it

I have to be at wollongong at 1230 for 90mins so im hoping to go to wakie afterwards

[evil_weevil]

James,

Dont be a sook and bring em, they'll fit

my cars ready to go, all packed.

just two nuts I couldnt budge (need to goto gym more!!) (I did a trial of taking nuts off to see how tight they would be

[lingeringsoul]

oh alright......I guess I don't want to be seen as soft.

So I take it the rear seats are easy to remove?? no surprises???

[evil_weevil]

yeah easy dude.

back rest - down bottom left and right corner are 2 bolts. undo them - then get ya hands at bottom of back rest and left up and out.

the bottom part, undo two more bolts/nuts and then it takes a bit of pulling (hehe) to get it out.

Might even need to use a long handle bar or something?

otherwise James you can still get 4 tyres in the back with the seat in, I have many times.

[Duncan]

always 1.5 to 2 tanks of fuel for me

[Pezhead]

I have one of these for on board video/bumper cam. It is ok but doesn't pick up the sound very well. But it is good value for the price (about $110 USD or about $180 Aud bought locally from ebay).

video samples:

I'd be interested to compare with the video from your unit.

[lingeringsoul]

alrighty folks and folkettes, I'm all packed up and ready to go. i'll be (hopefully) heading out to the crossroad at about5:15-:30 and get there sometime before six. I'll do a quick drive around and see if I can find anybody, if not I'll just head off myself. Also if you any one is meeting up there and don't see me then just go. I'll catch up later.

I'm in the silver r33 with big f.uck off nismo stickers on the side and the cliche rims.

my number is 0410172420 should anyone become really lonely on the road and need some company.

and if you are a hot babe, call me as well.

see you all there!!!!

[lingeringsoul]

well suck me dry, THAT was a fun day!!!! Good to see so many different cars out there.

High light of the day? Well its gotta be pressuring the Honda boys into making mistakes.....God I'm evil

I really enjoyed today. the nugget s13 held up well considering it was doing double duty but we retired it after the brake shudder got to be more than we could handle and maintain lap times.

I was really disappointed with the turn 1-2 combo. I had no confidence on the brakes in there all day, grip was just woeful. I was actually braking later in the wet when i was last down there (admittedly the stock ecu speed cut liked to kick in at the apex of the kink this time so i figure i was carrying a little more speed).

The ripples are back at turn 10. didn't take long. and theres a new bump on the exit

yes that bump......I almost thought I broke something when I hit it....could've saved at least .5 sec if I used it but it wasn't worth breaking my car over.

corner one to two..........I was actually watching the instructor giving lessons to the guy in front of me, so I copied him....looks like I've been using all the wrong lines for this corner combo before, now I know what to do but alas, it was already the end of the day.
