I see you lurking Jay :)

You coming?

I was thinking about, but i'd only be running my little proton daily as the race car is currently not even a rolling shell :P

Too late now but. Good to see it's filled up well in advance.

I will have more info about photography services on the day.

I have to get the last ok's with the exec, but the current plan is to have a club photographer there. I will have a sign up sheet where you can pre-purchase a CD (maybe DVD) copy of all the photos from the day. If you do pre-purchase, then we'll make sure the photographer gets shots of your car.

I may also have my in-car video available on a similar arrangement. I'm still working on the finer details, but the idea is that if you want some in-car, you pre-purchase and will put the in-car video camera into your car in the pits. Go out for a few laps, then return it. If the Video idea goes ahead, then will also be included on the DVD.

I would then do the post event compilation of all the media and mail out the DVD's within a month of the event.

Of course, you can have your own friends take amateur shots.

Just nit picking but does anyone know y my passenger is written in the list. He's been paid for. Just thought I'd figure that one out before turning up with a random other dude. Cheers.

No more than welcome to nit pick away dude! Sorry Daniel, i have updated accordingly!

:blink:

Of course, you can have your own friends take amateur shots.

As Eric has pointed out, we're hoping to have at least one "pro" photographer on the day, and everyone is welcome to have their friends taking shots as well, but there will be ABSOLUTELY NO ALLOWANCE for passengers to carry hand-held still or video cameras while a car is out on the track. It's a safety (and hence insurance) risk that we are not prepared to take.

Oh, I'll most likely have my camera out there on the day too.

Ando will you be putting the groupings up in here when they are sorted out?

Nah i will start a new thread in EVENTS Section so it doesnt get lost in amongst this thread. It will obviously have the groupings but will also give a full rundown on the finer details of the day.

It will be up ASAP :bunny:

I'm keen to come, but as a passenger...anybody want me? **teary eyes**

Anyone on the day that asks me for a sit in the passenger seat won't be turned away. I'll be thinking why you would want to journey the high seas of Wakefield in HMAS HIC-45S instead of a fast car though :down:

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
