Are these circuit familiarisation days worth it the day before track days?

And by this I mean in terms of how fast you're allowed to "familiarise" yourself, if the passenger laps are limited in speed and what etc. How much time on the track? Nearly doubles the price of a track day but curious on the worth of it beyond getting to know the lines.

So pulsar basically has 3" intercooler piping everywhere except straight out of turbo and a 0.5m section after the intercooler cold side. (Intercooler and intake are 3"). Would it be worth changing that section to 3"? Would it be a bottleneck or just a source of heat? If manifold pressure is 20psi for eg, then this section would be higher I guess.

3 inch will flow 600kw, sounds like you are going overkill to me...

LAG for days... :P

Sounds like a massive waste of time/money to me.

First session is always a bit slower anyway... track may be a bit slippery in the early morning, your tyres aren't at the right pressure / temperature. So I always use the first session to cruise around and warm things up, get re-familiar with the track and then I come in, immediately check tyre pressures and set them to where I want them to do... Then Session 2 is my first actual fast one.

Might be worth going along to a day like that if it is 30 cars and heaps of track time, or they have professional instructors who can show you the fastest lines

Have spent over $1000 on artwork over the past couple of days. Getting old. #houselyf

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
