Remember this up a driver dynamics run day

So they gotta pay for birds...

But in all seriousness they have pro drivers for driver training eg v8 super car drivers

much much less cars

So you get 20 min per hour

Much better than 3 sessions as wrx gave most of the day to the porka club

This

Having seen these days first hand, I would do one over regular track day anytime

So much more time on the track and spaced out

They do have some pretty well known V8 drivers there coaching; that's a pretty cool drawcard on it's own

I haven't flagged since I didn't turn up to the last one...completely forgot about it lol

Did a john bowe day as first track experience and it was good. Only downside was when something went wrong and lost 2.5 hours fixing it. Then you start counting the dollars.

Guy there who had a smooth day sandown) did around 50 laps

Did said DD day. Had v8 supercar driver take my car out to show me its potential. Was shitting bricks as it was sliding towards the wall. He cooked my brakes and rotors. Full brake rebuild. Deff would do again but with proper pads/rotors

Sounds like he went a bit past it's potential

I'd be pretty pissed off if that happened to me lol

Thats the main thing I was laughing at, 20 minutes per hour with a bunch of cars which haven't ever been on a track before... They'll be driving hard and max out temps after 2 hotlaps.

HIGH possibility that they'll identify weaknesses in the car (as everyone does on the first 3-4 track days) or break something or even minor stuff like popping off cooler pipes due to sustained boost and heat. Std brakes/pads/oil cooler/ps boiling/tyres running out

Nek minit they've missed 3 sessions trying to repair a car in the pits and it's cost them $100 worth of the day.

Tell you what though, with the number of GTR's that are down there... Racepace should be there offering advice and guidance to them... So many potential new customers who are getting a taste of the track bug :D

Tbh, most of the guys that go down there are mx5 owners, M3-6 owners or s2000 owners with intake mods.

You get some amateur race teams trying to get some track time with added advice

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
