pawson,

I'd be interested for sure......just not sure wether I'll be back in time. I am in Adelaide on work at the moment and am expected to be back in Melb by the end of Sep so hopefully I'll be there.

Keep me informed and I'll let you know how my contract end date goes......

Thanks.....

Guys, just found what I was looking for. I have just bought a GTS-T after racing an MX5 for two years and wanted to know where I can go to do some track days with other skylines.

The day you are talking about is the HSV owners club day at the island and I have entered. The HSV guys are really nice and run excellent days as I organised many days with them with the MX5 club. Spectators are always MOST welcome and entry is free. Just let the guy know at the gate that you are there for the HSV track day.

As for the day, to run you'll need a level 2ns licence which you may be able to get on the day ($88), a fire extinguisher with metal bracket available from KMart ($32) and a second bonnet restraint. For this a netal cable with two snaplocks and body mounted ramset eyelets, all available from bunnings will do.

The HSV usually requires you to have a 4 point harness but will alow first timers to run with the standard seat belt.

Clothing is long sleeve cotton or wool. NO SYNTHETIC as if you stack and the car catches on fire you'll be shrinkwrapped!!

Anyway, hope to see some of you guys, there. My name is James and I have a silver series II R33GTS-T.

If you have any queries at all re track days feel free to send me an email.

Furthermore, back to the original reason to post, is there a specific club here that runs Nissan/Import track days?? Would be good to run with some other skylines or even a club that has a motorsport championship etc organised. Currently a member of MX5club and Maserati clubs....

Cheers...James (Brutus is my cars nick name)

PS, you might need a helmet too with AS 1698 compliance....

Can get one for $90 open or ($160) full face from revolution racegear in Mitcham. And no Mr moderator, not advertising, don't work for them, just letting people know where to get a cheap helmet......

Apparently I got my entry in too late so mat not be running. Don't get it as I sent it straight after talking to the organiser who stated there were 45 places left!! Very miffed as i was hanging to get this car out to the track and the island is a fun place to start!!

Will probably ber there to at least spectate anyway so if anyone goes down keep an eye out for me....

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
