Hi all, anyway, this is a continuation of the SAU SA club thread sorta.

My idea was that we should all head out to an open track day (no drift) at Mallala to see what sort of a turn out we get there so we can hopefully get this club started.

Sorry for the short notice, but I kept forgetting about it and have been really busy with uni lately... :(

Anyway, finer details were requested, so here they are:

Gates open at about 8:30 and then driving starts at 10am. All drivers must sign on first so if you want to go out straight away, it's probably a good idea to get there before 10. Driving finishes around 4pm.

All drivers are divided into groups and then groups are run in 15 mins sessions.

For those not interested in driving on the day, entry is free and I think it would be a good opportunity to socialise the SAU people from SA.

For those wanting to drive,

drivers need Helmet with AS1698 APPROVAL by CAMS, clothing (non synthetic) with full length sleeves and leg coverage.

CAMS LICENCES MUST BE SHOWN AT ALL PRACTICE SESSIONS.

NON LICENCE HOLDERS MAY PURCHASE ONE DAY CAMS LICENCE ON THE DAY FOR $20.00.

The practice fee for 2007 is $90.00.

Taken from http://mallala.com/practicedays.htm

You do NOT require a fire extinguisher, battery triangle, or secondary bonnet latch, but the fire extinguisher is a good idea to have in the car.

You can drive as hard or as soft as you want. It is not a race and "racing" is not allowed on the track, overtaking is only allowed down the straights, so you dont have to worry about not being up with the pace.

If you're going to be driving hard, make sure that your brakes and cooling system are up to scratch. If they're not, make sure you know when you slow down for a while :wub:

Madaz is organizing the BBQ (cheers mate :cool:) and drinks. We just request that everyone bring a maximum of $10 to pay for all the food and drink. Prices should be finalised just before the date.

List of people attending so far:

According to the poll, there's more drivers, but I'm not sure who they are...

If your name's not on the list and you are coming, please tell me and I'll add you to the list.

If you're on the list and you're not coming, also tell me, this way we can try get an accurate idea of numbers and plan accordingly, especially for BBQ + drinks.

If there are any other questions about the day, feel free to ask, and I'll try answer them as best I can.

Cheers

Showza

I'm sure we can arrange another one and actually organise it better too :cool:

I'm definitely going out to this one though as there only two other scheduled days (10th and 16th of Nov) for the rest of the year and I cant make either of them (exams on both days).

Unless people wanted to do the same thing for a drift practice?

I didn't think that would work as well though, as not that many SAUers seem to be interested in drift, the environment isn't as friendly as a circuit day (in my opinion) and entry is not free for spectators.

But if anyone is keen on that idea, the daytime drift prac is on Dec 9th. Should be similar times, but different format obviously.

Yeah, I'm always keen to meet people :)

I'm not sure that I'll be driving at this one anymore, all didn't go as planned over the weekend and now have to spend another weekend pulling things apart :(

So would be cutting it damn tight to get out there driving... Will give it my best shot though!

as Joel has told me Luke we drive through the hills, our cars are fine for that so just drive on the track like your in the hills with the confidence theres no speed cameras.

umm i think its hotplate and snags = bbq :):( you bring the salad :P;)

Yeah, we need a good indication of numbers. By the thread now, it looks like 8 people and Joel (Cubes) will be there too.

So come on guys!

Madaz: Cheers heaps for organizing BBQ, I'm utterly hopeless at that sorta stuff, and the lack of time thing. If you want, I can go grab a slab of cans of coke and an esky on the way? Figure I should probably try do something for what I'm organising... :down:

Oh, and what time was everyone thinking of heading out (non drivers)? I dont think I'd be that keen to get there as the driving's about to start, so I'm thinking about lunch timish? Like 12 or so?

Everyone elses thoughts about this time?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
