What To Do And How To Go About Taking Car On Track For Some Fun !


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I got a 32 gtr that is having forged motor rebuilt at moment and extended sump etc etc I will be working in mines and I want to just take it out on track for some fun... Just for a hobby never been on track before but been keen to do it can someone point me in right direction ?

Please pm me cheers

There's a DiY on setting a car up for trackdays etc, so I would search that and start there, then look through the motorsport threads and build threads as there are plenty of gtr's hitting the track regularly with there setups detailed In those threads, other than that find your closest track, book in and just get out there

got to an RAC/AHG trackday at the skidpan and long track if you havent been before, as its a good basis to start learning track work.

I may be organising one at the start of next month open to skylines and i will be posting it in the events section so make sure you check this section in the coming weeks.

Its a lot cheaper(bout $50 $80) than getting all your cams license etc sorted out and going to barbagello raceway, and the only requirements is a current drivers license and a helmet.

checkout http://www.wascc.com.au/ for more info if you plan on doing some real track work. You will need a membership to a cams affiliated club such as wascc and a cams license in order to compete in trackdays and events at barbagello. all the info is on the site - antilag also hosts plenty of events throughout the year, although they aren't a cams affiliated club at the moment, but they are trying to change this apparently: you will need a antilag membership to be part of their track/motorsport events.

i Danny, check out www.nolimitevents.com for track nights and hill climbs, definately the best way to get started, good bunch of guys..also theres a sprint series at RAC driving centre, do a search on mc motorsport state sprint series, also the classicrally website for one and two day events are good but pricey. either way get on the CAMS website, find an affiliated car club, join and then get your CAMS LS2 licence, its the one licence that everyone accepts! get the car club and CAMS stuff sorted while your cars off the road. nolimits are CAMS affiliated.

I think your inbox is full, you can't receive pm's ?

anyway get out on the track, its a blast

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
