Hey boys & girls.

As most of the NSW members know we are holding quite a few events this year.

These events just cannot happen without the help of lovely volunteers that dedicate their time and efforts to a sport they love the most.

We are looking for volunteers for our first Texikhana for the year which will be held on the new date of 4th May 2008

This is your chance to get as close to the action as possible without taking part!

For your time and dedication we will supply a free lunch and drinks to the volunteers & a discount on the next Texikhana you enter. You will also get to sit on one of our new comfy SAU camping chairs to watch all the action & more! There will be a brake around midday for a BBQ and you will get to change positions around the day.

I'm also looking for anyone who has done a first aid course or similar.

Edit:

If anyone can think of their wife/husband/girlfriend etc.. who would like to be involved they are most welcome as well.

All volunteers must be 18years and over.

If anyone is interested can they please either post in the thread or pm me.

Cheers,

Corinne

Without actually taking part :D

When was the date changed by the way? Can we be confident that THIS date won't change?!

I'll be there taking care of the skid pad again, but will need AT LEAST 1 helper (preferrably pretty with big knockers to keep me entertained :D)

Yes without actually taking part.. but volunteering can be just as fun!

We have confirmed the date. The only reason that it changed is because one of the state events was being held on that date. It's not going to change.

D00f you are quite capable of taking care of the skidpands but I'll be there to help you out during the day.

I know I'm capable, but I'm also lazy... It worked really well with me and Kelly working it last time, one on the timer watching for penalties, and one writing down the times and making sure people are lined up correctly...

Jas, if you want to help me out then I would really appreciate it :D

If not, whatev... I won't be heartbroken..

hey corrine :P , if i'm already there competing and no one else puts their hand up, i'll help out on the bbq again for a bit. so long as the we don't have the same wind issues as last time :) .

is this going to be at sutton driver training centre ACT again?

i did a senoir first aid course in 2007 (so it's technically expired, do u care?). also i was a vet nurse, but you're all a bunch of animals once you get out on the track anyway :)

also i was a vet nurse, but you're all a bunch of animals once you get out on the track anyway :down:

+1 you're hired :rofl:

all I need is a lift and I'm yours :D

Hahaha, i can think of someone else who said that once - ended well

You can scab a lift off me

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
