Hey Doc,

Need long pants and long sleeve shirt. Cotton.

Full face helmet. Open face can be used but you need racing harness to go with it.

No need to buy licence just drivers license (unless you brided the RTA... :D ).

I've been monitoring my brake pad wear for a while and if you don't punish them there's bugger all wear at Eastern Creek. As far as I can tell they are stockies.

Bleed the brakes beforehand and check the car over.

Let me know if your coming.:D

I think all that has been said needs to be thought about and maybe something needs to be organised for these days so that we can prevent accidents that may occur.

We are lucky to have people attend our track days that have driven on tracks before, Red, Bonkers, Xrsist and myself to name a few... some have even had profesional training, Oz, fatz, Silver.

Maybe we should look at using these people for tips and pointers, I know that it is not too often that I do a lap without a passenger and I am always happy to take someone with me and show them some lines and breaking points. Having an experienced driver with me on my first trip helped a lot.

I know that many of the other people that I have mentioned don't mind taking a passenger to show them the ropes also.

Maybe we should look at those that know where they are going must take a newbie with them to get them started. maybe then we can stay as a group and don't have to deal with SS drivers and their "I'm **** hot" mentality.

Just my thoughts,

Dan.

PS. Last time I went up a group I actually found that my lap times were slower, I think it was because our group were very good at moving over, the group above were not. The ultimate solution is to book the track privatly for us only!

Now - why did I think of this all of a sudden, obviously my car is not a goer yet hahahaha.

Dad,

My car is track worthy but not being used due to a lack of money and the need for new tyres. If you would like to use it you may. (Conditions apply.)

Son.

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
