Possible (Probable) "OFFICIAL" Skylines Australia - NSW Club Events, and Ideas.


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Well by now a lot of you know that I have been selected to be the SAU Official events coordinator. I had hoped to have had some "Official" events announced and running by now but untill we get Cams affiliation it is just not worth the risk.

The reason the club needs Cams affiliation is simple really, they cover events held by SAU for Public liability insurance. This is required for any event that we hold as a "Club", Track Days, Skid Pan days, Cruises, and even BBQ's etc.

Some more major events that are already on their way are a Show and Shine day being planned for the long weekend in October and planning for that is well under way.

A Car Rally was being planned for the end of May but is now going to be at another date as Cams won't be meeting untill the end of may and will hopefully give us our affiliation then.

Other events that have been suggested:

Hill Climbs

BBQ's

Track Days

Skid Pans

Cruises

Information events

Driver Training

Group days at racing events

etc

Some of these events as mentioned before are already being planned. Some are still being looked into. If people know of events that they have done and would like to do as a club then please put the ideas in this thread... If you want to help out organising an "Official" SAU Event than please put your hand up. Or if you want to be on a list of those that are available to volunteer their time to cooking a BBQ, or giving out club info at a stall set up at another event than again please post up you interest here... everybodies help is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me and I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge or endevour to find out what you are after.

Cheers all and thank you all for being so patient,

Dan.

Dan, as a social club we should venture into non car related activities. so, I second what Ben said. More mud wrestling events please. Now I know Ben wants to be a part of the actual wrestling but I was thinking more along the lines of getting our better halves to do it. Muahahah, won't that be fun:uh-huh:

or, we can pay some phoar looking chicks like sophie monk and natalie imbruglia. i don't know, tell em it's for charity for God's sakes. they'll go for that.

ignore my early morning ramblings. take note of the first sentance though

All of the above please dan. :P

All these events are fantastic, I know what what ever we do as a group from gold to mud wrestling would be fantastic.

good work!

As for the car rally! I am SOOOOO their when it all comes together with cams etc.

I used to organise lan nights.. big effort to get them going, had a few big ones.. 80 computers in a room is a weird sight, had a quake 2 game so big you had to wait to respawn.

tosh, cant you just lend him your pr0n dvd set? I know that all 45 dvds took you a while to download, but I am sure franky will look after them.

I propose an "Engine rebuild weekend" .

Y'all come round to mine, and take the farqued donk out - rebuild the farquer to bullet proof.

Then run boost her up to 26 PSI and take her down to EC drags, and see what breaks next !

he he he:D

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
