Generally about $200 for a Sandown day, maybe $230 for a PI?

We often don't actually run all of the rounds in our championship, some of the rounds we join other clubs on their days.

Is there a website for sandown just for general practice days. Sorry for the dumb question with mallala down here they have general practice days go there pay ya $110 entry and go play around does sandown do days like that?

Hi All - a nice mid winter cruise - weather dependent - sounds enticing to me. Any interest from others? I'm not fussy about a route as long as it's out of town - the cruise up to Kinglake and back is not bad and doesn't take all day either.

Hello,

I'm a new member and would like to know what the requirements are to attend a track day, such as Winton?

In the past I have needed a helmet, is this still the case and are there any other requirements?

I actually just saw the thread track day requirements. Apologies

Im interested in doing the motorkhana day in Nov, regs says cars need to be roadworthy. I assume that doesn't exclude dedicated track cars? engine swap, no door cards etc. ok for this event?

See if you can view supp regs for a previous event.
Scrutinteering basically checks helmet & seat for Australian standards sticker, checking fire extinguisher is within date, checking seat belts/harness, and making sure nothing is going to fly around inside the car or is not properly fastened in the engine bay.
"Roadworthy condition" is sort of like a blanket statement for saying the car meets basic safety requirements.
But yeah, unregistered cars are allowed.

champion, thanks.

Did not see a GOR run mentioned anytime during 2016 , was there one late 2015 or is that run off the agenda for some reason?  I am not rejoining so would that be a problem anyway as I remember we used to do Members only and Open runs also.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
