Will confirm ASAP.  I had a look at my car today and it has no engine  :)  Fingers crossed it will be ready in time. . . . .

ditto for me.... i'm waiting for my camber arms to arrive. will confirm again.

Car is getting tuned next week so will confirm then. (time of work shouldnt be a problem, fingers crossed...)!

this will be my first track day! (expect some supernatural crazy speeds from me or not lol...)

How often do parts break and stuff on trackdays? (i need to be able to drive home to the sunnycoast, all my friends a working!)

Is there anything else i need to know?

You only have to go as hard as you want. Great to see so many new people siging up for this day !!!

I will be put some new Time Attack results up soon by the looks of it.

Don't forget to fix Tim or myself up for the day ASAP as we are getting very close now !!!

Hi Guys

1 week to go!

Got some q's:

1. Whereabouts do i go? straight down champions way to QLD raceway and then where?

2. Can i hire a helmet?

3. How much is it to buy a helmet and from where on Bris Northside is a good place to get one?

4. Can the helmets be open faced or do they need to be the closed face style with visor?

thanks :)

1. Drive straight in. Go to the left hand end of the carpark and you will see there should be a gate open to let you in to the pit straight (albeit from the wrong end). Get yourself a parking bay.

2. Yes you can hire helmets - from memory they are only about $5-$10 to hire.

3. You can buy cheap helmets from the likes of Tyretech - another good one is Cash Converters.

4. Your preference

Give Qld Raceway a call and find out about the helmet hire etc. 0754619100. I got mine from the Bike shop in Marooka, they have a good range there.

Also the day is booked out. If you have not paid yet there are no spaces left. Looks to be the biggest track (1/2) day we have had yet !!

Don't forget to arrive at 7:30am so we can get all the formailies out the way and get on the track as quick as possible.

(Also MountainRunner == GTRman1992. I am trying to make my login the same on all the forums I am on).

If everyone who has paid could make sure they have sent myself or Tim their contact details that would be a great help in case we have to call you for some reason.

Also anyone who wants to be added to the email list for the next track day (30 Aug), just PM me your email address. They day is already 1/2 booked and almost 1/4 paid up.

Paul

Zymotic,

Yes I have received your payment and a spot has been allocated for you on Monday.

Others confirmed from Skylines Australia include:

Maccattack

Evo Cam

There were several others from Skylines Australia that expressed an interest, however did not come up with the $$$$$$, I hope that they can make it to the track day on the 30th August 2005.

Regards,

    • That is what I will be doing next
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
    • I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
