what else ya gunna do?

it'd be un-Australian not to go :P

Shaun.. better rsvp soon! I just checked the thread, and there are under 10spots left. I've read that they have put aside 10 spots for the bikes and the cars have the remaining 40spots.

I could be interested however, the track standard might be a bit high. That said, if people think I could "hack" the track, I will happily go for it.

lol

Don't worry!!! I'll be there to bring the standard down a bit. lol.

I would have really liked to make it back there to see how the car goes now it handles better but I have settlement that w/e. It was nice to drive a track that was more technical than others and also how layed back the day was. Oh well next time I'll be there!

Recommended to anybody thinking about it.

I see there is now some Elise's, some GT3's and a GT2 on the list as well (apparently).

I was thinking of changing my mind and finding another time to go but it's becoming a mightily interesting list of entrants.

Unfortunately we haven't been able to get Sutton Rd for this weekend so there will be another Wakefield trip to NSW early in the New Year run in conjunction with a Sutton Rd event but we are waiting for the NSW people to recover from their hangover and get the dates sorted.

With the Calder park WRX championship round the weekend before, this will be interesting to see if a) my car will be ready in time for Jan 20th and b) if i break something at calder, preventing me from coming to Wakefield

Afternoon Kids!

I've just received a PM from Autosports saying they are now chasing payments and they'd like to tie up payments by the end of the week.

Should be an awesome day!!! So if you want to reserve your spot, you MUST pay now!

I hope to see you there!

Hey guys, I was thinking of bringing the Evo down but was wondering how far is the drive from Melbourne?

From memory it is about 6 hours of driving but took around 8 with breaks/fuel stops etc.

Not sure, depends if i get some "issues" sorted at the moment.

But if its not ready, i will be dead... so its me or the car by Jan 07.

Just wondering if anyone has seen Ash since Sunday night?

Was talking to Bec today about this, is there a final consensus on this as I have the Thursday booked off but will make other plans if people arent going? :)

Guys, im in the process of doing a weekend of thrashing up here that you guys can come to, it includes a DECA style day, and a day at Wakefield (or i can sort Oran Park but thats harder)

Im being held up by the ACT government not choosing their exact dates for the ACT rally - due to a clause in a lease agreement one of the places we're going to use arent allowed to accept bookings until the rally dates are booked first

So my hands are tied.....for now :)

By all means go up for this trip (afterall, 2 trips is better than one) - but for the guys that miss out, ill make it well known when ive organised my one so you guys all have enough notice etc to get time off work etc

For those that weren't aware the majority of us are no longer going up for this.

However if you have paid it is still on and you can still attend.

Stay tuned for another SAU road trip to wakefield soon! So much fun.

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
