Whats the go with the half dozen or so cars Markr34gtr said he was bringing? That fill the list up quite a bit?

The one thing I have found with this site Col, everyone wants events but when teh time comes everyone is too povo it appears. The Supra boys had a dyno day not too long ago, maybe you could open this up to toymods make it bit of a toyota vs nissan thing.

I duno, thinking out loud?

We need to otherwise the event would never occur as those who wanted the event now dont want the event :D

The more the better, Id love to see some Toyota and Mitz action :D

Thats alright Noel, I understand your circumstances... :D

Im sure you wont miss out on watching tho, seeing a 1000hp GTR is a real treat...

Need a hand and im in town just call... Been there and done that many times and many hands make for light work...

Im sure we will make the numbers up with EVO'S and Supra's...

chaos? who de fark is he?

wont be running (exams), might drop in to see a 1000HP gtr though

evo VIII and R34 GTR Vspec... I WANT YOUR JOB... >_<

Mate it's simple, I earn my money (by making sure my clients don't pay tax) & then I invest it :) The cars are heavily sponsored by the taxman actually :laughing-smiley-014:

I am of course Dependant on having a new turbo installed as most of you would know. If I have it in by then I will definitely be there.

I too am in the same boat, things are looking good but just be aware I may be a late scratching Col

I think I need to ditch my current accountant in Melbourne and have a talk to you :) Claiming a 90% loss on a road/race R32 "used" for work is more effort then I thought :laughing-smiley-014:

*goes back to preparing my 05/06 tax docs* Yes I'm slack.

I have a R32 as well. Lets make it a race team and burn some tax money :laugh:

I think I will come along but not sure if I will be able to put my car on the roller.

ahh stupid me dropping ut of accounting till the rest of the term lol..

well im back into it next term.. *blows dust of MYOB V16 books*

Ok, payments have started rolling in, Ive paid up too just waiting for confirmation...

Please start paying into the SAU account now, as we have 2 weeks til the payment cut off...

To make up numbers Im more than happy to have any type of car there running, Id love to nothing but skylines for this event but its become obvious that we are not going to just make the numbers with club memebrs and users of the forum.

Come on guys dust off the wallets $45 is only half a night out (drinks), you asked for the event and now its here its getting little attention. PM me if you have an issue with the event ill do my best to accomodate your needs.

Once again, please feel free to invite your friends and their cars to make up the numbers. Cheers Col

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
