As has been spoken of many times before, I think it is time to organise a proper day out at Mallala.

My suggestion is to go out Saturday November 15th. This is a public 'practice day' and there is 1 x 15 minute session for each vehicle class from 10am - 5pm. So you'd get to go out roughly 7 times for 10 or so laps. (And 15 minutes at a time is the most you'd want to be out there in one stretch). Cost is $70 each car (I believe nothing for spectators) and we can just rock up. I have chosen this date because it is unlikely to be rainy, and unlikely to be too hot. I have emailed Christine Kemp and she said no probs - we just have to have a full licence (no P or L plates), helmet and long sleeves. Pay the cash, sign the indemnity and we're off. No minimum numbers required.

Perhaps we could organise a bbq (hint hint Steve & Timmay) and make a decent day of it. It could of course include an after cruise and whatever anyone suggests. I know we have access to some G-Techs for measurement purposes too and we could have a little in-house competition.

What do you all think?

Bring it on Andrew!! I've been hanging out for this day, I spoke to the "other" guys about this and they were keen as too.

My only concern was cooking my engine but apparently I've got nothing to worry about (to an extent).

BBQ is an awesome idea, maybe we could use everyones brakepads after a few laps!! :):D

Nightcrawler, I've always want to do this.

It would be great fun getting everyone to come out.

I better hurry with my car mods.

It's might be a little bit rush but, my car may not be complete yet.

I betta hurry up...nothing like a little extra peers pressures

Bring it on, bring it on :P

maybe we'll have to push it back a couple of weeks. The last 3 practice days for the year are:

Saturday 29th November

Saturday 6th December

Saturday 13th December

but the longer we leave it, the greater chance of hot weather. If it's much over 30 degrees there is no way I am gonna race my car .... David had his R33 out there last year when it was about 25 degrees and it was boiling over the coolant (out of the overflow bottle) every time he stopped unless he warmed it down for 10+ minutes.

But I'm open to suggestions .....

[edit - damn I can't change the poll]

New the 540s in 16'' is $230, if you find the right people who race saloon cars and the like they will give away their old race tyres for next to nothing but like the ones MattR has they only have very minimal tread and are no longer as sticky as new ones, i scored a pair for nothing but when they have 30% tread and have not been used for a while they go off a bit.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't really know general street pads too well, but there is no reason you can't get a low dust, long wearing, no squeal pad that works for those calipers at a reasonable price....they would just be a low end to medium price daily style pad.  If new pads don't have much bite or they loose it over time, it is probably just the pad glazing up which you can fix by giving them a good thrashing every now and then (or get the mechanic to deglaze them at next service) Track or semi track pads are where you have to put up with excessive dust (and potentially squealing as a side effect of that) in return for good bite and performance when very hot. Street pads have nothing like that sort of punishment, even long downhills with the brakes on are easier than a track session

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      lol yeah I'll check that, reminds me of the LDV thread!  I don't think that is the problem here, the starter doesn't even solenoid click. I did do a super quick test by removing the starter motor's power cable from the engine bay fuse box and the battery voltage was still 10v, so something super fishy is going on. BTW here is a R33 fuse box table I threw together from a few sources....use at own risk! R33 Fuse Box and Sources.xlsx

      Johnny's approach, throw all the Nissan electronics into the trash. Best thing I've done to my shit box, go DBW.

      Sounds like the JAX guys must have installed some really awful pads, are they BenShit/BenDicks pads by any chance?
