sure....I put a breather/catch can up near the brake master cylinder...and refill the box after each race meet.....and degrease under the car often....and park it over an oil catch tray. fixed easy!

Sorry to hear Geoff....how are you going gettting it fixed. spot on. the same company made us pay an excess after a taxi hit the z while parked, even though we gave them and the police the number plate of the cab that did it.

Yes, I have had the same issue with the race car....it continually breathes smurf blood Interesting....I bought mine about 12 months back, and from a very dodgy shop. Got any more info?

lol I thought I was the only one. But I don't know anyone else who custom grinds rb cams in Sydney

mate I haven't been out for a reason....car is borken and house isn't finished. what ever happened to all those MRA build cars it's a great race series for those that can't afford to spend x00,000s on $uperlap!

For those who have removed them, how did you go with the glue that attaches them? looks pretty permanent to me....

btw insurance is not an issue for hosting a night, we can provide $20M public liability insurance for a social event via CAMS.

thanks mate, pm sent So we've added: Brakes Engine machining any other ideas?

sorry mate, sydney dragway's rules, not SAU's

While these forums are a great source of information, it can also be useful to cover off the basics from the guys who work in the industry every day. As part of this, SAU:NSW is launching a series of technical talk nights to cover information relevent to new and not so new Skylines owners. The first evening has already been booked for 2 week's time at the Federal Tyres Warehouse, because tyres are the most basic thing to know about cars, and have a huge impact on it's performance. After that, for the rest of the year, we have already booked: * Suspension Tech Night, Wednesday 19 October * Track Day Preparation Tech Night, Thursday 8 December. But the question here is.....what other topics do you think it is worth covering? We have been considering: * Dent removal * Cleaning and detailing your car * Tuning basics * Engine removal process (perfect for GTR drivers) * Engineering/police/epa/legalities

OK, more good news for this evening. The topics to be covered include: • The basics – Learn the tyre “lingo” and find out what the markings on your tyres mean in plain English. • Construction – Find out what’s on the inside of your tyres and how they are built. • Treads – Compounds and designs – how they affect the way a tyre grips and responds. • Tyre maintenance – Some tips you might know and some you probably don’t about getting the most from your tyres. As well as feeding us, NTW have organised lucky door prizes and a tour of the 50,000 tyre warehouse. Also, attendees can enter the competition to have your car included in the upcoming Federal Tyre catalogue

OK everyone, there are about 7 spots left, and we need to cut off entries at 5pm tomorrow.....so get in now!

bloody hell that skidpan must have been brand new back then! Have you got the one of team trackday on the main straight too?

good man!

Excellent....I'm in too....its about time my stagea was dusted off

I lol'd

OMG ITS KENNY!!! Come out to the drag day mate

they are also illegal in CAMS circuit racing (not 100% sure about CAMS rally)....no in cabin suspension adjustment is allowed (except sway bars in some categories like supercars)

hmm time for a name change..... btw if I was looking for capacity I would be using the pathfinder 4l bottom end. I drove a 350z with that motor a few weeks ago and it was excellent

sneak off early the presentation starts at 7pm, bad luck if I've eaten all the free food by then

I've got the auto cupholders in a manual and I never actually hit them. Close sometimes.

Oh yeah....me in too....

Many of you have ticked the box on the membership form over the years…..so here comes the first in a series of Tech Nights! Provided by: National Tyre Wholesalers (Federal Tyres) Topic: Tyre Basics Date: Friday 23rd September Time: 6pm until 9pm Location: 75 Long Street, Smithfield NSW 2164 Agenda: 6:00pm – Members arrive for finger food and drinks 6:45 – 7:00pm – Members are seated and ready for presentation 7:00 – 7:45/8:00pm – Tyres 101 training presentation including questions and prizes 8:00pm – 9:00pm – After presentation members are free to leave or stay for further questions and discussions There are a series of these nights coming provided by our sponsors, so we have decided to cover the most fundamental item first – they are round, black and smokey, and we bet you have spent a fair bit on them over the years. But how do they work, what happens to them when you drive, and what should you look for when buying? These nights are provided by our club partners for club members only; you are however welcome to join the club on the night. It’s important to remember that while NTW are hosting the night, this is a technical discussion about tyres not a sales presentation.....so come along and learn about one of the most basic but important things on your car.

Well, this is on 2 weeks away, and there are 11 spots left. If you have been holding off entering.....don't leave it too long!

Just checked it then Charles....worked OK
