If you're an SAU:NSW member then sure :( There's plenty of spaces left :wave:

Otherwise, no... for some reason, it's members only...

Easy answer....

To encourage people to join the club,

to make current members stay and be involved,

and supporting the club for future events as thats one of the benefits for being a member, only doing member only days.

And there will certainly be alot more member days only coming up :P

Still can't find it in the events section, can someone point me to the link please.

There's been quite a few threads over the years that drag on about wanting to go go-karting and never get organised, so very keen for a day like this!

Thanks.

Ok, i think it's all just clicked in place for me now. You mean there's a hidden members section? You mean these past years I've been on here there's been a hidden events section that I didn't know about? Kinda pissed off now.

Ok just transferred the fee and faxing the form soon.

Guys, if you are trying to encourage memberships, it makes sense to show people what they are missing out on. People won't pay for something when they don't even know it is there. Might want to put it in the public events section as well as it sounds like a great event that makes people like me finally get off their arse and sign up.

I know, I know I should have signed up earlier, simply the information I have got from this board has been well worth the $60 membership fee. Thanks.

ps. can someone reserve me a spot please till my membership comes through. Cheers.

hehehe :w00t:

Yes, there IS a hidden members forum...

Yes, shit does happen in there...

Yes, it IS worth the $60...

When i signed up, I had no idea about it, i signed up so i can get discounts on other shit the club did... still money well spent if you ask me :)

For the record though, this go karting thing is the first members only thing since I signed up... So you haven't missed out on a lot... But there will most likely be more...

You gonna be there Richard??

We need to have some form of competition...... >_<

I hope so. I'm looking a bit shaky atm. car is half in pieces so I can install:

F+R R32 4.375:1 diffs

new tighter 2 way rear diff

sump baffles

turbos

manifolds

dumps

front pipes

replace tomei lock kit with lock bar

fit PS cooler

new injectors

new afms

new tune

steering rack bushes

new brakes

new engine mounts

new piping kit

new intercooler

new radiator

would like to squeeze a transfer case rebuild in amongst that lot too.

so I have a fair bit of shit to do, but hopefully it will be done in time. if not I might try and bludge a few laps of anyone foolish enough to let me drive their car. :P :PBJ:

Here's my list for entry:

Get rods in the mail, take them to workshop, come back a week later and pickup the finished motor, take motor and shell to different workshop, comeback week later, run in, tune, do a few dawn runs to make sure its all good, then thrash at EC

The times running out but im trying

my stuff which may cause me not to go...

1. fit injectors.

2. fit z32

3. retune car with powerFC to suit all new supporting mods

4. dot5 fluid

5. font brake pads

not as much as BB but not enough $$$ at the moment d'oh

Fark me!!!!

Looks like your building a race car from scratch!!!!

Be good to see it in action, sounds like its gonna be a monster....

I like Hooters!! :laugh:

I can handle the hot wings too and Dave (T04GTR) cant :w00t:

I like hooters in general, but the hooters at Hooters were pretty ordinary, and the food was the same, at best...

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
