I got mine for $200 from a large motorbike shop but I've heard as low as $150. Just make sure it's up to the Australian Standards (stickers on the back).

I would just think of the largest motorbike shop near enough to you cos they should have the volume to get a good price.

With Helmets, if you are willing to pay a bit more you can get SNELL approved helmets which are higher quality and are useable in all(?) forms of motorsport. I would dare say if you race on the circuit (As opposed to a track day) you would need a SNELL approved helmet.

I know for riding, I wouldn't use anything less then a SNELL, but when you're in a car I guess it's not as important.

And you can get cheap helmets for $100 ish at bike shops if that suits you... You basically pay more for features like cooling, removable liner, weight, etc. Of course you do pay for safety standard too...

All helmets sold (legally anyways) in Australia are of a decent standard, so you should be fine with a cheap if you only want to do track/drift days. If you plan to race, or have the money, I would go a snell approved.

If you want to check out the differences in helmets, just find a bike forum. try www.dirtbikeworld.net it's the best forum I know, and it's aussie.

Oh and in case anyone cares, I'm definitely going.  So see you all there.  

 

If anyone from here sees me (White R34 4 door) come and say hello.

You have turned into a track junkie... The full gp circuit is awesome fun. And im sure there will be hardly anyone at this one (easter) so you should get some great track time..
