They have at least 10..maybe 15

I know it can be a bit much for the newbies to be shelling out loads of cash just to get started.

EDIT: nevermind :D

LOL!

Paul go to Broadmeadow any of the bike shops there will be able to help you, go the Frazer’s then have a look at Suzuki of Newcastle and compare prices.

Good luck.

Ryan

I was going to suggest that but I don't know the area that well.. Newcastle is just so far! :)

hey corinne, did you end up speaking to sydney city motorcycles about the sau discount? I remember you said you knew someone that worked there?

i called them up about a month ago, and the sau discount wasn't available

I've got a very Newbie sounding question but I am a newbie....(and I did a search but coudln't find anything)

I need to buy a helmet for Saturday....I am assuming any helmet I buy from a motorbike shop will be good enough as long as it is a full face...also what sort of money would i expect to spend...I assume all helmets sold in Aus are approved??

Anyone in Newcastle bought one up here recently, if so who from???

Sydney city motorcycles - i paid $80 for an open face one about 3 years ago. Does the job and my face doesnt get hot underneath it

shotgun going out first :happy:

will we progress up if we do good lap times or stay in the same group

Are you expecting to be fast? People will be moved as appropriate but we hope to get groupings as close as possible before the day starts.

Weather is looking good, at least for Southern Highlands min 2 c max 14c no rain clearing cloud.

Zed is looking good to make it. Doing lots of little things to it this week still.

Yo James, I've tried to get incontact with them but they have been lazy.. I'll give him a ring tonight and see what's the go.

Did you try quoting the account number as Jon said?

come to think of it, no I didn't try quoting any account number when i rung up about a month ago. I guess I should have read that thread a bit more thoroughly and asked for Andrew Cura. the person I spoke to didn't know what I was talking about re SAU discount.

Probably going to go in there on thursday to grab a helmet

gosh.

after reading this page im NEVER hiring a helmet.

next track day i can participate in, ill give SCM a visit.

you guys need any volunteers for help on the day?

im coming down to watch but if i can help anywhere let me know.

Hey you guys looking for helmets, there is a place at wetherill park (its actually a mower/dune buggy shop) that sells open face helmets for $65!!

Dave got one just before texi.... Im heading there tomorrow to get mine so il throw the details up then ;)

Quick question, really unimportant but a question anyways...

At the moment I have a choice of taking 2 front bars.

One is white like the rest of my car (probably because its the factory one that came with it ;)) but has a gash in the side of it and the indicator/fog light surround is non existant. Lights are intact

The other is black but is in almost perfect condition.

Do I go to the track this weekend with a white or black bra? :laughing-smiley-014:

.Perhaps saying bra instead of bar was intentional.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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.
