Noel - You'll need to call me on this one. I've sent you two text messages. Circuit Club haven't received your payment and accordingly, they've cancelled your spot.

You'll need to send me your deposit date, reference and amount in order for me to have them track it down.

Liz.

lol Ben. dont you just put 200ml of fuel in it and just turn up?

Gonna be another last minute effort to get everything ready as I have zero time during the week to test anything or make adjustments grr.

can i organize an appropriate temporary license on the day?

Kinda last minute decision, as I'll now be taking Leif's spot for this track day and it'll be my first so I'm a bit unsure of it all

pretty sure you can purchase the wakefield liscence on the day

Seam: They provide you with numbers when you sign on.

ITINERARY

7.30: Gates Open - Drive in, sign in and get prepared!

8.45: Driver’s Briefing - This needs to be done before you are

allowed onto the track. If you haven’t signed in by now, you may

miss your first session on the track.

9.00: Track Opens

4.00: Track Closes

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Clothing: You will be required to wear long sleeve clothing and

closed shoes with socks. Helmets are mandatory on the track, one

can be arranged for hire if necessary.

General Car Condition: Please make sure your car is in complete

working order and you have no leaks or loose items in or around the

car.

Getting There: Wakefield Park is about 10 minutes outside of

Goulburn, located on Braidwood Rd. The turn off for this road is

right near Goulburn train station, with a big blue sign pointing the

way!

Sessions: There will be 4 groups on the day, classed by lap times and

experience. Remember, if you are having any issues with your group

on the day, see me!

probably would be a good idea to have the battery isolater switch position marked. The rest i think you have covered.

i recieved the itinerary etc from circuit club today but my computer wont open PDF anymore. anyone else get it? what does it say?

Does the car need any markings? Number, blue triangle etc? and just neck to wrist to ankle clothing + helmet I assume?sry if these are silly questions

I'll be located in the first row of garages with my red ute parked on the grass infront of my garage.......be good to get everyone grouped together to help each other out.

The CircuitClub trackdays are brilliant because the sessions are longer, a typical trackday is usually 6-10 laps where as the last CC Wakefield day I did was up around 10-15 laps.

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
