Anyone coming along to this on the 12th October?

I'm really keen to jump on a track with something with a bit of power because I have only really driven 4cyl cars on a track.

On that note did anyone see that article on TV last night about putting young guys with powerful cars on a race track and seeing whether they could drive or not? I missed it but was keen to have a look.

Alex,

I missed the story on tv, sounds like it was pretty one sided, still would have been good to see though.

Im not gonna be able to get away from work to go to the track day

:) , im sure you'll enjoy chuckin the 'line around wakefield though, 2nd gear & clutch chucks on the left after the horseshoe & then again on the last corner before the straight, yeah baby!!!

On another note, not to corrupt the thread or nothin, how many peeps on here are actually insured? I have full comp on my car (until the end of the month) and am now for the first time having to consider sellin the beast because i may not be able to get cover! Is anyone paying under 3K for full comp or am i dreaming?

Shannon,

I just recently went through renewing my insurance on my R33 GTSt.

I went through Young & Cool, they gave me Full Comp for $2,400.

And as a bonus I am able to pay by the month :D

Another option would be Just Car insurance (was insured with them previously for $2,500) but I had to pay my premium upfront!!!

Other than that I'm not sure who else you could go with!!!

Shannon, I pay around $1400 thru Suncorp...but I'm over 25 :(:)

I hadn't planned on going to Wakefield (to be honest I haven't even read the thread :D ), but if a few of you are going, I wouldn't mind cruising up with you and spectating!

hey whytry, I'll cruise up there with you if you're going at that time! I work nightshift so that'd be perfect. Let me know if you're still keen to go :uh-huh:

Hey AlexR31,

What's the story with this day? We were thinking about coming along, but checking the Wakefield site it says that 12/10 is a private track booking for "Jerry", not an open practice day.

Who'se organising the day, or is the website wrong?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
