NDSOC do their track days with MSCA (Marque Sports Car Assoc). There is a sprint this coming Sunday (yes, Bathurst day) at Sandown. You're welcome to come and watch (probably too late to enter).

Then, on the following Sunday, NDSOC will be conducting a driver training day, again at Sandown. Entry forms should be available at the web site (ndsoc.com.au), otherwise email [email protected] .

NOTE: you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club to do these events. we will gladly sign you up on the day. You will also require a CAMS L2 licence, $91, valid for 12 months. And the car will require a fire extinguisher and auxilliary bonnet restraints, and you need a stack hat (helmet).

What you can do, is simply choose from a CAMS affiliated club to be a member of. Choose yor favourite, coz you can go for any track day held by any CAMS-affiliated club. And pay no more than the track day fee. Imagine one club membership that allows you to play at all golf courses.

Myself, am with PIARC. And they are holding an event called Island Magic, 2 days of track( attend 1 or both) on the 29th and 30th of Nov. So simply download the entry form and post it in. The important things u need are,

1) Extinguisher that complies with CAMS regulations (Metal bracket, etc)

2) Secondary bonnet restraint device( any strap or belt will do)

3) Metal valve caps

4) Helmet (ANSI approved)

5) make sure your car is in a roadworthy condition,ie: no drips leaks, etc.

6) And some clubs are strict about a 75dB limit at 30m driveby. ( Most cars will be under that)

I think I mentioned the most important ones to get started.

Costs,

Club membership: $30-$50

Cams L2S( Level 2S) : $90

Track day fee: $90-$120

Hence, to go on the track the very first time, you'll need about $240. Thereafter, you only pay for the track day.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Before you do a trackday make sure your car is in good working order. Change all the fluids (gearbox, engine, radiator, Dot5 brake fluid).

Make sure you have decent pads as well (something like RB74's not your nissan oems).

I did my first trackday over 6mths ago and im still repairing my brakes now. I destroyed my master cylinder, glazed my pads and seezed my pistons. Now almost $3,000 later and she's almost back to normal.

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
