Its looking like the trusty ol' GTR isnt going to be up for it this time round... :P

so im thinking of offering my services as a driver trainer, ive not had any "full on" competition experience, but ive been frequently attending track days for a few years now and i think i would have a fair bit to offer for anyone starting out.

i know at the last day they were putting out the call for anyone who wants to help out with DT, so here i am.

can anyone advise me as to what i should do?

cheers. :yes:

not up to it? :D

Faxed and paid, GT-R is actually running right for the first time in a while, no misfires, no boost drop off and fresh front brake discs, might actually get a decent Sandown run, touch wood. Now to pray for no rain....

how are the spots looking? got a new clutch going in next thursday, plus a few other things being looked over. Just not game enough to pay up yet just in case any gremlins pop-up when fixing the car.

yeah its no good sam,

i cant afford semi slicks at the moment, and i just cant run on the streeters any more. You saw how munted they were after just the one session i got in last time, blisters galore! now the suspension and wheel alignment is bangin', the poor old federal's just cant keep up! :D

hopefully next time, im still keen to hit winton with ya one day! :D

- so does anyone have any suggestions about this driver training?

Yeah and SAU and WRX club are at winton 18th July as well.

I thought semis were for girls Shepo?

Contact WRX club about the driver training. Not sure who.

Semi's are for girls Russ, that is at least until i can afford a set, then that will change... :thumbsup:

i might put a post in the rexy forum to get the low down on DT. :(

is there a 'critical mass' to be reached before this goes ahead? or will it go ahead regardless? looking like a lot of track time for those involved at the moment :(

Absolutely no idea - that'll be the Rex Club's call

Just to note though - if anyone is considering entering and hasnt done so yet, Id get your entries in ASAP to give the WRX Club a better idea of numbers for the day or they may very well cancel it

Im assuming there are lots of people holding off till the last minute for whatever reason :(

I am very keen on entering, however just waiting for the car to come out of the workshop, getting tuned in the next few days so everything should be good to go I hope.

I guess I can always enter then cancel/get a refund if its not ready?

from the wrx forum

"I am confident the event will go ahead regardless so we wont need to refund!!

If for some reason any of our events are cancelled then there would be a complete refund yes.

Cheers"

    • Dry sump? Is that like where you don't put oil in, and leave the car parked in the garage because it's worth so much now and is like a beautiful museum piece? 😛
    • Nissan Fuga Y50 2009 VQ35HR 313 hp / 230 kW RWD Also sold as Infiniti M overseas. Performance sedan built on the same chassis as Skyline V36 or Infiniti FX. Great colour with a fantastic velour interior. Very quiet and fast car (<6s 0-100), but can also be very economical for performance (long-term average consumption 11/100 km) I imported it five years ago, and it was well looked after. It has a full service history and a balance of ACT rego. There are no finance or PPSR issues with the car. Has all the features you'd expect from a luxury car. ABS brakes Stability control Traction control Dual-zone climate control Power and memory front seats and steering column Power passenger ottoman Smart key access Push button start 2 parking cameras Steering wheel audio controls Adaptive radar cruise control AFS aiming headlights Xenon HID headlights Security system Original Nissan remote start system Two original keys Dual-channel dashcam Blackvue 750 with PowerMagicPro for battery-aware parking recording Regularly serviced with a lot of major items done: Full new original Nissan suspension shocks throughout Performance CSF radiator Recent tyres, less than 10k on them New drive belt New bonnet struts Brakes recently done The car comes with a fully converted AV system with Australian GPS maps, DVD, and radio ($2k job). I really love this car, but I have too many cars and too many Nissans in the family, so unfortunately, I need to sell it. Priced at $18500 The car can be seen in Curtin. Thank you for your attention.  
    • Here are a few photos.  The car is auction grade 4.5B and a genuine 1 owner car, as far as I can tell...  It has a full service history with only 31,000km in it.  I'd love to put a midpipe and tune on it but I am thinking that I'll retain its originality.
    • I can be grumpy!  After owning one of the first GTRs in the country, I was bitten by the nostalgia bug and started the hunt for a GTR again.  While I could have bought a car locally, I wanted to experience the search for a car in Japan and bidding at auction.  The above videos document my experience to date and hope forum members find them interesting and informative.  I was after a low mileage, completely stock car in the launch colour and am pretty stoked with what I got!
    • Did you calibrate the throttle in the Haltech? It might be falling in and out of the closed loop strategy, especially if the car has been tuned on different TPS voltages.
