I should probably get around to renewing my CAMS licence, huh?

Going to stick with my half shagged RSR's on the front even though I was understeering everywhere at Winton on them. Meh, it's a fun day... I'll buy new tyres for next year.

If the pulsar doesnt last the day i will be eating the admission fee worth of food

It's 80%, untimed, no minimum car weight, I'm definitely going for the breakfast, pizza and spit roast (the food variety)

Buy my Brand new Hankook Rs3's 265/40/18 that I have just put up for sale :D

I am a bit of a track noob, never been.

But this looks like a good event to come down and give it a go.

when do registration's close?

How does it all work? Are we sau members eligible for the discounted price?

we pay full price, im assuming its still open unless full..?

are you an SAUVic (paid) club member?

you'll need a CAMS licence (or purchase one on the day), an approved helmet and a fire extinguisher mounted inside your car

Not a paid member tho,

Don't have a cams licence as never been to a track.

What is classified as a approved helmet? Ive got some moto helmets. dirtbike and road bike.

And negative on the fire extinguisher

My first track day was this event last year, it really is the perfect event to start out with :yes: Pretty cheap, 80% so nice and relaxed and noone will be going off into walls or getting angry with you for not being on the perfect racing line or getting in their way. And because it is passenger laps all day it's a great opportunity for someone with some track knowledge to jump in and guide you through it for a session or two :)

Cams licence is super easy to get, you can buy it via their website... think its $95
But you'll need to be a paid SAU VIC Member (or another CAMS affiliated club) member first

Fire extinguisher is simple, make a metal bracket and bolt it between your two passenger seat bolts. Bolt an Autobarn 1kg extinguisher with a metal bracket with metal straps (none of this plastic crap) to your seat bracket with high tensile bolts and washers. No tek screws or anything. Needs to be solid, and not going to come loose in a 50G crash ;)

If your Road Bike helmet has current AU/NZ Approval Stickers on it (black and red and silver with the four ticks from memory) then it'll be fine.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
