Pfft just go lizzeh!

Just wondering if we are allowed passengers? I doubt it but I thought id ask..

I might go ahead and do this with a mate for shits and giggles.. I assume this is going to be busy as hell?

definitely no passengers, mate

I haven't been to one of these days in a few years... but I imagine they'd still be pretty busy! they're quite good in terms of the number of cars on the track at any one time.

If I were you, I'd go turn up about lunchtime as a fair few people either break down or pack up before the end of the day!

unfortunately, I've been taking a little too much time off work lately to take another day!! :)

nah, no timing... it's just an open day like wakie

but i believe they're a bit better about limiting the number of cars on the track at any one time. I don't even know anyone who's done one of these in the last year to be able to judge. I'll ask them when I call up to confirm the day if you like.

I did one last month and looking to get out to this one also, so have listed some points below

1) No passengers allowed

2) no timing but can setup your own timing equipment

3) the 28th May has three sessions: cars, ls2, bikes. LS2 (most of us) start at about 9:20am and sessions are for 20 mins.

4) Lunch break for an hour somewhere between 12:00 - 1:30pm

5) costs as mentioned by Liz. Can get a garage for an extra $25

6) gets pretty busy but this one might be quiet seeing it's straight after Superlap, but who knows?

7) I haven't seen a car limit per session yet. There was almost 40 cars in one LS2 session last time I was there!!

8) Some drivers are aggressive (yes even in LS2) so be careful.

Checkout the link recorded by someone on NS forum. The white s13 with the black rear wing at the start of the clip is mine!!!!

nah you'll have to Buy your own, you cant hire their's as they use dorian timers which means they need to hire staff for timing in the control tower! 9i.e. similar to a state round etc)

ebay has a few for sale, cheaper ones like the motorbike lap timers work well too!

I wont make it as I doubt my car will be ready :cool:

Being that im a contractor and cant just 'take a sickie' the above is what worries me most as I dont want to lose a days pay just to find im held up or watching my mirrors the entire day because 30 other idiots are on the track.

yeah, fair enough... It does tend to get a lot quieter after lunch though as most ppl tend to do the morning sessions and then start packing up to leave around lunch time

      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.
