Morwell....... I always love going there.

Team SAU was throroughly entertaining all day long. Great job guys.

Some vids:

Chris:

Ryan:

Dave:

I got 2 more vids - but youtube keeps saying Failed :S - I haev no idea - so the above will have to do for now.

I also took pics - but Jarrod's are 10 times better, so look at his :(

Loved the drift action all day long from the RWD lads :(

Ryan had an awesome drift all the way around the keyhole which we failed to capture on film.

Loved the 'Austin Powers' efforts of the Datto trying to turn around after the spin while staying off the dirt :D

I was already embarrassed enough looping in front of everyone then the "austin powers" effort to turn around pretty much topped it off. (not to mention that pesky gemini nipping at my heels with less than half the power!).

Was a pretty classic day. We couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise plus the viewing area was great.

how did the steering arm come off? no split pin? Did it just drop out?

It was an adjustable tie rod end, and the adjustment bit had somehow undone. it has locking nuts on either side of it...?? the thread on the inside was all clapped out.. nfi really how it came to be not attached.. just going to get rid of them.

Also - Incar video around morewell.

Was a tops day :) .....as always thanks to everyone who made it happen :laugh:

First time at Morwell and it was a fun little section of road....even if it doesn't suit a GTR very well! Was consistant all day until I found some dori action at the fish hook and then finally pulled my finger out for my last run. Watching Chris drift the Gem and the Morwell locals in the fully sik magna were two highlights :)

Glad to hear nothing got bent on the way home Ryan :P

Tell that to Aaron! He carved that place up last time we were there.

Glad to hear you had day all, and glad to hear you and your car are fine after the incident Ryan! Morwell is good fun >_<

Looks like all had a fantastic day....

Good to hear nothing bad happened to the car Ryan.

Hopefully I will be there at the next event.

Sorry I missed it, I was in Adelaide watching PORT destroy Nth Melbourne.

PS Team B... Im sure the WRX will be back in the paddock soon enough....... !

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