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

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
