Hi Everyone

We're conducting a High Performance Training and Track Driving Day at Sandown on Friday 20th June 2008.

We will be running the day as an 'open pit lane' day, but we will also have 4 qualified (Certificate 3 and 4) instructors with lots of experience.

We also provide lunches, tea / coffee / soft drinks, flag marshals and medical / rescue crew.

You do not need a CAMS or ASSA licence to participate in our High Performance Training and Track Driving Days

The format we run to is: 3 groups of 15 drivers, twenty minutes of track time per hour.

Start time is 8.30 am for safety briefing, track is open from 9.00 am until 4.00pm

Cost is only $245.00 per driver.

Driver Dynamics Sandown Trackday Friday 20th June, I feel a long weekend coming on.....
We're conducting a High Performance Training and Track Driving Day at Sandown on Friday 20th June 2008.

I'd say read the thread before posting, but at least read the heading.

Whats required on this day in terms of helmet, obviously, fire extinguisher, bonnet pins etc?

J,

you need helmet, clothing that covers your whole body, decent shoes (not like boots and stuff), and a car that doesnt leak fluids and one that has good brakes - sandown is a heavy braking circuit, so you need to make sure that brakes are a1. Probably best to take the car for a service a few days before to change brake pads, oil all that - took mine to revzone in ringwood and told them to put the good stuff in.....and the car lasted the whole day. Then check the car by driving it around, check underneath that nothign is lose, and check that all is in working order.

Possibly good tyres as well - can get a bit scary in the wet (but a lot of fun - just go with the instructor for a few laps). Also make sure there is nothing lying around that will fly around in your cabin (eg paper, bottles etc).

Fire extinguisher is not needed, but can come in handy if anything does go wrong.

The point of the day is to learn how to manouver your car aorund the track, get to know the car, and just enjoy - not to actually race

When's the closeing date,

I would love to do it good price as well. Just need try get the day off work and get one of my mates to drive my car down. Dont want to get done on the way for high power vechile.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
