you join up buy payin the 150 (140 if your a mamber)

for details how to pay just email me at [email protected] or pm me

basically for the large cicuit we have a max of 60 should be huge

im exited have some flyers for the day that i made that are 4000000% funny

man i have an ugly head

cmon you know you want to ;)  pick up a helmet from a motorcycle shop they are pretty cheap

We ll see how broke I am at that stage :P) I also need the air filter and the pedals, cant heel and toe with the stock pedals at all...

I got my helmet for $200 but I know you can get them for $150 new and given the money people spend on their cars it's hardly a major expense. As for needing pedals to go to a track day :uhh:. Lame.

Sorry if I sound harsh but I think we've got to get people into the habit of 'taking it to the track' so I'm just giving you a friendly kick up the arse. :P

hahah just need some practice, I can assure you its possible to heal and toe on stock skyline pedals :)

And not directed at you, but generally....

I have read at least 50 times in the last 4 days "keep it on the track". Was everyone just repeating what they thought they were meant to say, or do they really mean it?

This is one of the *cheapest* track days I have seen, and there will be experienced drivers on hand to help with tips.

What will it take to get people off the road and onto the track.

I got flamed in a friendly fashion ... i guess .... :) What i m saying is that i m more than willing to go, but before i do i need to the above mentioned things like the helmet and the pedals. Simple as that. And i wasnt making excuses. So :)

As per heel and toeing. I had aftermarket pedal caps on my laser and the brake was very dead on it, i.e. you can pump it up and down without noticing much effect on the car. So that was pretty easy. The skyline pedals have a different brake to accelerattor level than i used to. So the effect is i am there trying to heel and toe with my foot absolutely retarded and the nose going up and down and the revs not moving at all coz i cant reach it. Hehe. neways... I ll get it sorted.

Fatz, whats the charge if my gf wants to take the lady for a spin around the track? Does she need to pay another 150 or just a passenger fee?

I'm in. I'll even make the drive from Wagga (like 4 hours) just to come. So there is no way any other members should have an excuse.

How many guys usually turn up for these things?

Hey bring arm85 with you, you guys can do a wagga->syd trackday cruise :)

Neil, get used to running that rotor in, you'll need to do it again every time you blow it up :(

Speaking of which it looks unlikely teh gtr will be rolling by then, will have to bring along something else ;)

Igor, passengers are welcome, there is a small fee to cover the insurance about $30 I think.

Neil you sneaky bastard!! when are you taking it out???

Tosh find me some more track time to run it in and I'll be there. :D;):)

Um Duncan so when will the yellow piece of crap be ready,,,,June/July???. In the mean time I'll be having fun racing and you'll be holding the video. :headspin: :headspin: :headspin:

Neil.

    • Can't remember the last time I saw a good, healthy battery dropping into the 9s during cranking,  Too many variables to say anything about it with any certainty though.  A float voltage of 12-12.2 is tired AF and given how AGMs handle high C rate and DOD, will just die faster and faster with each cold start.   
    • I find most vehicles dip into the mid to high 9 volt range, even with a good battery. Hitting the low 9s, and especially hitting into the 8s is pretty indicative of a dieing battery. The other part to look at is the battery voltage after the battery has been fully charged. They should be sitting at 12.8V, as lead acids are dieing, they head down low and lower. Often getting as low as 12.0 - 12.2. You'll start seeing this when the engine is cranking over slowly. Interestingly, depending on the vehicle, when batteries get really bad, you can see some REALLY funky things going on. From very low voltages, to higher than 16V too. Something I totally didn't expect! This part of the super low and super high voltages I've been seeing on motorbikes, I need to do some further studies on cars. I suspect cars will act a little bit different though for a couple of reasons.
    • Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.
    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
