March next year i am looking to tow my line firstly to the sydney area for a week or so and then on to melbourne.

What racetracks are available in your neck of the woods.

What accessibility is there to said tracks. (do they have open days etc)

What licensing requirements are there for these tracks.

Approximation of tracks to melbourne would be helpful as well.

What motel accommodation is available near these tracks, Preferably with off street parking for tow vehicle and trailer.

Any help on these querys would be much appreciated

Cheers from Cane toad country. :)

great to hear mate, let us know target dates and I'll try and get out too, will help organise specific events if necessary.

Oran park is closing 24 Jan so if you dont get here before then you can cry like a gold coast schoolie

Eastern Creek can be tricky to find time at, given you are coming from interstate you would probably be ok to sneak along to a supersprint of some sort. probably need cams l2s

Wakefield Park in goulburn is dead easy and cheap. they run free practice days 2-3 times a week minimum. no license and very cheap, lots of track time.

there are a couple of hillclimb circuits around but they are not open most weekends.

Thanks Uncadunc. Will keep you posted on dates.

I was hoping to go back down in may for the superlap weekend . I guess i had best look in to getting the neccessary cams license for that as well.

The tracks we run up here require a local license only. Cams is a pain in the arse.

I would love to do op before it closed but unfortunately it can not be.

Vale to a damn good track by all accounts.

just enter superlap for EC laps. not really great value or heaps of track time but it is a hard place to get an event.

wakie on the other hand you can wear the bloody car out on an average open practice day.

cams is easy as, sau qld is cams affiliated so its about $90 and 1 form.

There is Marulan (MDTC) a little north of Goulburn, probably a little tight for big power cars unless you intend to have opposite lock for the entire lap but fun none the less :rolleyes:

I would also like to be posted on dates. It will give me insperation to go get some new rotors and pads for the boat :3some:

  • 3 months later...

fark that's a long time to be in Goulburn....even the locals leave every few days :blush:

got some specific dates/events lined up? You should get to both MDTC and Wakie if you are there that long. We will try and drum up some interest.

BTW I heard you have some decent cubes at last?

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
