You're up to 30... does that mean its now full? I'd like to attend. My car has been at Heasmans for two weeks, should get it back tomorrow. New upper control arms, castor bushes and reset springs. Cant wait to drive it again!

Hi guys. yep we have 30, but no, not full yet. I'm anticipating some people will end up pulling out, or not showing up on the day as plans change etc. so I'm happy to put more people down. Also, 30 is not a hard cut just the ideal number as we don't want to group too big.

allblanct and Mr kotter added.

marcus32, I'd love to add you mate, but this event is for SAU NSW financial members only as it's organised for the club. BUT you are most welcome to join up, even join up on the night if you wish. Apart from events like this one there are lots of other benefits to being a SAU NSW member (discounts at stores, discounts on merchandise, use of our nissan pricing etc).

LOL

:P

Richard, put me down as a yes for the time being.. :laugh:

Vic! Long time bro. Havent seen you post in a while. We were hard pressed for tools at the time and getting desperate, and I want to buy you a replacement plug cover if you havent done so already :D

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
