Full Time Track Car

[SECURITY]

some of you know me, most dont but i've been around here for a while figuring out what i want to do with my car. ive taken it off the road indefinitely so i can stop having to deal with tricking cops into giving me easy defects to clear when i get pulled over - which i'm a pro at now.

for those who have track cars - what advice can you give me? i need a cheap car trailer, where can i hire/buy one for cheap?

i've had bad luck with this car from dodgy built motors (three) to my vipec ECU shitting itself (twice). i just want to drive, i dont want to take it to any workshops anymore - they're all shit.

ideally id like to drop it off at a workshop and play with it after hours. i could use space at my factory complex but its 20mins away and i dont have the patience to move my stuff there.

i've got a fuel system ready to go. hx35 i want to fit. rb2530 i want to freshen up (ill rape the rb25 for now though). i can do all this myself but any advice or help from anyone around bankstown would be sweet

cheers

Advice, if you want it to last, keep it as close to standard as possible.

I dare say if this car has issues sell it on and buy one thats been done properly from the start or buy a stock one and do it yourself from the start. I too have been thinking of not registering my car anymore and having a track car but some things to keep in mind.

How often do you drive the car?

Do you enjoy just starting it up, going for a drive and taking it to club events?

Will you take it to enough events to warrant having a track car?

I personally love driving mine and drive it as often as I please, it isnt a daily so just when I feel. Im not so sure Id track it enough days to get out of my car as much as i do now.

You need a four things

Shed

Tool

Beer fridge

And beer

The rest works itself out

i dont drive it anymore because dodgy blue slips are starting to get expensive and i hardly drove it out. the only benefit would have been to and from events but im not too fussed.

selling it is not an option. beer fridge and tool set are good to go too. my only problem is i cant weld, otherwise i'd have this done.

reliability is something im working on too. id rather adjust the tune for safety over keeping it standard. i might change my mind as i go.

the only problem im having now is the ECU not switching the main relay off after i switch the ignition off. i dont even want to send it back to vipec, a kill switch that does the same thing would do. does anyone know how?

You'll need what fatz said....

Then....

Car that can tow 2.5t easily and legally.

(r33 weighs 1400? Trailer will be 500kg min then tools)

my105.com.au have car trailers for sale all the time. I paid 1500 second hand but is built for small gay cars like mine. Rego is 167 a year plus pink slip.

As for car, I do agree with Matt to some point. More stock, longer it'll go! Even fatzseseses GTR with minor bolt ons can do 300 laps of Wakefield with no issues!

If just doing drift/speed off street days I'd just get standard motor, usual oil and intercooler mods, then good brake pads and fluid, some basic coilovers and have some fun.

[fatz]
