Adam can you give us the breakdown of spots? Maybe if SAU VIC don't take up spots we can poach them.

Next time we need more seeing there's a resurgence of trackwhoring... I mean the trackday is 3 months away and it's already sold out!

SAU NSW - 15

SAU VIC - ??

RENEW - ??

But yeah I'm glad I made the list... :P

SAU NSW - 15

SAU VIC - 0

RENEW - 30

who knows - 15

We cant give any more spots until our Supp Regs are approved by CAMS and we know how many in total are available.

If you all paid and then got told you cant come you would all have the shits, so just hang tight there is plenty of time and as soon as we get approval we can let Adam know how many positions are available.

Thanks Nathan (I assume that's you :()

Fatz the reason why we team up with RENEW is because in the past we have had trouble getting the numbers but there has been a recent resurgence in the popularity of track days.

Rest assured we are not sitting idle behind the scenes.

SAUVIC are getting 0 spots :(

We'll come up in Nov for something else instead.

snowman, I say try and tee up an Oran park GP circuit day, with an Eastern creek day within a few days of each other. I'll be in it for sure to show you the fast way 'round... hahaha

All,

Im chatting with Aaron McGill to do a Mid Aug $200 day at OP GP. Hopefully a new post will be up soon.

Thanks

I was just going to suggest this :O

Maybe if we get that timing sorted out before hand, this could be its first use?

As Nathan pointed out, as soon as we get our supp regs approved by cams we will have a final number of entries we can take.

im sure there will be more spots made available, so dont write it off just yet and watch this space :P

i only got a few laps at wakefield (due to breaking my car) so im so keen for this!!

For anyone needing tyres I was just at Gordon Levin Tyres (Emu Plains) and they are selling 235/45/17 A048 semi-slicks for $80/each 2nd hand (still plenty of meat). They were low on stock when I was there but said they get them often from weekend circuit meetings. That's a tidy price compared to the ~$400/each new.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
