check the event calendar pat - all the track days are listed on there

AUGUST - 12 Sun - SAU Vic Track Club Championship - Round 6 - Sandown

woot! i presume this will have driver training too?

http://www.cams.com.au/content.asp?PageID=Clubs and look at all the different club sites to see what is on when.

Usually if I want to go somewhere I check the following club calanders other than ours/wrx:

AROCV

Maserati

FPV XR / HSV Clubs (run events together - am doing Winton with them this Saturday)

HSCC

PIARC (what we did on the weekend. Next one is Oct 20/21)

MSCA

But Scotsman and I did keep the weekend a little on the low down as we just wanted a quiet settle in run before our public return. :thumbsup:

You realise Aaron that this will be the 1st time we have actually been on the track together with working cars? Other than your original trip to PI when the car was basically stock.

So it's the first real 05 v 06 SAU Club Champion showdown. :thumbsup:

No shit, really? :thumbsup:

In that case... GO AARON! :P

How do other club members get to find out about these track days? I had no idea the Island was on last weekend.

Aaron,

We put this calendar together early in the year....

... and when we say stripped, we mean he's REALLY stripped it. lol wait n see. That thing is an animal... 1:16 is quick.

Snowy, good to see your car back in action - go get 'em tiger :thumbsup:

Kennedy has stripped his car and is running slicks so we are no longer "competing" against him as such. It is no longer a street car.

They aren't slicks - just have less grooves than RE55's, Hoosier stylz :D

He thinks that they aren't as sticky as RE55's anyway.

Sandown will be good. A pity the stig won't be there.

They have a UTQG of 0. lol.

Mark Webber drives around with grooves in his tyres but you don't call them street tyres. They are slicks.

It depends on what exact model of Hoosier he is using because the A3S05/R3S05 Hoosiers have a UTQG of 40 and they look mighty similar to his and the one in your pic for that matter.

Also, if they were considered to be as sticky as a slick wouldn't CAMS require the cars fitted with these to have cages fitted?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
