The SAU policy of not having any negative criticism towards workshops and only positive stuff does result in some very shoddy stuff happening at many workshops that are 'recommended' because of the confirmation bias.

This is a legitimate issue if you use this site for research about where to go.

Going to pay the legal bills when the site owner gets taken through the legal wringer because of it? There have been a number of issues over the year with legal action due to users thinking they can just spew whatever rubbish around they want.

So until someone wants to pay the bills - the rules will be followed - and that is zero tolerance to slander. You get a court ruling backing up your story (AKA, the Edward Lees stuff), go for your life as it's no longer someones mates, 3rd cousins story.

[[Closed] Borg Warner Efr Series Turbos]

Knock off the bullshit and trolling or whoever does it next, gets a month long holiday.

[2016 nats?]

At this stage, no more SAU Nats.

The past two years didn't see the best attendances with basically only the VIC guys really attending in numbers (there were more VIC guys in SA, than SA guys for example), and last year hardly any NSW's travelled apart from yourself and Nick.

Most states have that many events on already, one more in the calendar at a national based level seems not to be working so well right now.

[Putting Prices In Trader Fs Threads]

Quite often pricing can change without notice as a business, as opposed to a private seller.

If this happens, you'd need to go back to all forums you sponsor to alter the price in addition to anywhere else you list it (ebay, facebook or otherwise).

That's quite a bit of work.

So it makes logical sense for some of them to do this. If the business selling price went up by $20, you called up and said "but I saw XXX price here", you've gotta honour or have an unhappy customer.

[Lost All Boost Turbo Not Spooling]

A popped vacuum hose won't loose all boost

A popped cooler pipe will.

Indeed.

And as above, popped cooler hose = car wont drive.

So if it's driving, logical to deduce that turbo has failed

[For Sale: Gtr R34 Vspec, 2000 - Sold]

They should work now.

Minor permissions issue, now resolved

[Sau Vic - Old School Cruise]

Will have it this evening the exact link - doing a trial run

[Sau Vic 2016 Events Calendar]

Also bringing back a lot of old-school style cruises using routes people just don't go these days (but are still, awesome).

I'll be running most of them where I can, drives will be good and open to non-members via a gold-coin donation/temp membership

[2016 Round 1 - Jan 30th Sandown Track Day Multiclub]

A wheel bearing you mean from excessive track use!

Well you certainly won't break a wheel bearing given you hardly raced last year and aren't this one

[Brake Pads For V-spec Gtr R33]

If we wanna talk expensive, my RS29s were $500 for the fronts, work amaze

Anyway on topic, DS2500 are good pad on a budget, should be around $220 for a front set

[2016 Round 1 - Jan 30th Sandown Track Day Multiclub]

That's what you get for buying an Evo...

If it was a GTR it would've spun a bearing.

[2016 Round 1 - Jan 30th Sandown Track Day Multiclub]

f**k it, I'm out. EVO diff repair won't be ready till Mid Feb.

I'll still come down and volunteer/help as required.

[Sau Vic - Old School Cruise]

Ok so 2016 brings with it - SAU-Vic old school cruises.

I will try and run most of them where I can. They will be doing a lot of routes that the common cruises these days do not and likely routes you probably haven't really taken before. A lot of these we did circa 6-10 years ago and were always a good fun time on great roads.

The first one is as follows:

When: Thurs 28th Jan - POSTPONED, New Date TBA Shortly

Time: Kick off 8pm, departing at 8.15pm SHARP.

First Meet Point: Melb Zoo - Map location to come

Where are we headed: Towards Sunbury and across to finish in northern suburbs. The actual route you'll find out on the night as we will give out maps.

FAQs

Can non-club members come?

Yes, absolutely. All that is required is a gold coin donation and you will be a 24-hr member of SAU-Vic. We need you to fill out a basic information form and you then receive a map/instructions etc.

At the end of the year ALL of the money from the cruises will be donated to the Royal Children's Hospital as a donation. So you are helping a good cause simply by coming for a drive.

If I am a member, do I need to give a gold coin donation?
Not a cent. You are more than welcome to donate money (that goes to charity) if you wish, either way you'll get a map without any issues.

Extra information!!!!

- You must be a SAU-Vic member to drive (or, have given a donation for a map). We will be noting down everyone's details so we have a record of everyone that attended etc

- This is meant to be a fun cruise, so we shall have fun! Good roads, good people - happy days.

Any other questions post away!

[What's Needed For An R32 Front Diff Swap?]

But yes, 100% - you will NEVER regret a front diff upgrade - as long as you have done the rear.

Simple some of the best mods you can do to a GTR if you are aiming to enjoy the driving of it

[What's Needed For An R32 Front Diff Swap?]

Hurry up and get your car together, I'll come to Syd and go for a buzz (and of course sink a pile of piss somewhere)

[Front Brake Disc Discolouration On The Inside]

Angle grinder or tin snips.

Take as much/close as you can basically. I used an angle grinder, because power tools.

[Front Brake Disc Discolouration On The Inside]

Pretty much anyone who does track days down here mate, has cut them off their cars, whatever model/make they may be.

You cant get ducting working that well generally with them anyway.


Weird it's a SA defect item. I mean, if you cut them do it looked factory... They wouldn't even know?

[Front Brake Disc Discolouration On The Inside]

None, you don't have a shield on the outside of the rotor

[Front Brake Disc Discolouration On The Inside]

Ah, yeah ok. See what you mean.

It's more protected there I guess with that heat shield on - or could be, because the heat is being kept in

But 100% cut the shields off, if doing brake ducting that'd also be good

[Front Brake Disc Discolouration On The Inside]

Not sure what you're asking from the pics?

Nothing looks out of place either way.

And also, next time you can - cut off the shield on the inside face off the rotor. It just keeps the heat in

[Brake Kit Options R33 Brembo Ap R35]

2500s shouldn't squeal at all, mine didn't when I had the GTR and now in the HSV.

That said, if you put them old rotors, that'll be partly the reason. Make sure you put the anti squeal shims in etc.

[Looking For A Good Tuner]

Unigroup?

[Os88 Vs Hollinger Decision!]

Jap's were doing 8's back in late 90's in sequential boxes. dont know how long they lasted but I would go with the th400... just because I didn't do it and want to know how it would feel street driven daily.

They were also doing them with H-Pattern boxes lol.

You've also got another choice - Samsonas. Quite a few WTAC cars this year were running them, I suspect they are part sponsoring a few cars to get the name out there - logical business sense.

So not sure how good or not good they are, certainly something to look into given local support etc.

Albins also have been doing good work and releasing various upgrades to lots of boxes lately, which is interesting.
