Dumb question but what do u actually do at a track day ?

Is it just you skyline guys or are their a 100 other sorts of cars ?  

Are you free to just cut laps as you please or do you have a certain time period etc ?  

I'd love to go to a track day just so that i can work out the limits of my car on a wide open circuit without the worry of cops or other cars.

We line up and parade around the track at 60km/h.... :uh-huh:

Just kidding. It's anycar that's willing to give it a go. You go at your own pace, but it's split into 3 groups. Fast, med, slow. You don't have to put in blistering laps, but it would be nice to see it though.

Fatz is right, at the track it's all a package. driver and car.

Hey, I think Duncan meant circuit racing at the Creek with street cars , street tyres & pump fuel.  

lol! For once I meant try the EC drags! I guess I've got this most horsepower wins at the drags thing in my head. Granted, learning to launch a car takes skill, but after that its just hang on for the next 10 sec.

Yeah, I reakon if you want to test driving skill, try circuit racing. Horsepower is far from the most important on the track, check out the mods (or lack thereof) on the fastest SAU track cars.

Another example, my 1.5 sohc lanos (~50fwkw) does 1.18s at wakefield...

Oh, and Vishes, in my experience, if someone hits your rear bumper, its cause they were going faster than your car, not slower...

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
