My confirmation email from Renee stated that you just needed to present to the gate and if you had rsvp'd your name would be on the list

Email confirming my place was not from Ranee and they where talking passes and no friends etc

Would be allowed entry.......

I am 99% sure all you will need is ID for entry to the track. This is from my email:

For interstate owners, you will need to make your own travel arrangements to get to Melbourne. Nissan will then provide a coach transfer from the new Hilton Melbourne Hotel located at South Wharf at 6:30am sharp to take you to and from the track if you don’t want to drive yourself. The bus will return you to the Hilton Hotel South Wharf.

What you need to bring:

• In terms clothing, we ask that you wear clothing that covers the full length of your arms and legs, plus appropriate footwear for driving. As this event is being held in the midst of winter in Victoria at one of the most southerly points of the state we strongly recommend you dress warmly as Phillip Island is very exposed to the elements off Bass Strait.

• Helmets are not required and should not be brought along.

As an exclusive GT-R owner invite only event, we ask that you bring identification with you on the day.

We will have security at the gate and only owners with their name on the list will gain access to the track. Please note that only registered owners will be permitted to enter the circuit property. Please do not bring any unregistered guests.

I have done similar days at the Island with BMW and Audi in the past and ID was all that was required on those days too.

See you guys there in the morning session. Fun day ahead.

As for eastern creek, Nissan did one at Eastern Creek for the GT-R launch. It was a great day out but media only. This Phillip Island one will be even better with Mizuno-san attending so southerners are getting it good.

I think it's 10am at the South Wharf Hilton.

I can almost guarantee that there will be not timing going on. Experience in the past would indicate that they do anything not to do a full timed lap.

See you all tomorrow morning I am on the AM session.

Almost every phone has a stopwatch!

Could anyone going tomorrow to Phillip Island 1:46.53 please post the lap time this guy is doing

I would like to see how much faster he is than my times

1:47.40, 1:47.03, 1:46.53

(ATC May 09)

Dean Canto V8 supercar driver seemed pretty relaxed talking to me as he punched out a lazy 1:46. no idea about other times, unfortunately no data from Suzuki-san's efforts

btw this trip has ruined performance driving in Queensland for me. Phillip island is such a superb track, I don't think I will be able to go back to the paperclip....

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
