Due to the large number of people competing in the SAU Vic Championship this year, the Motorsport Committee is asking the following:

If you enter this event, could you please read the information regarding classes and send an email to [email protected] stating which class you beleive you are in.

It will make Ferni's job 10 times easier when he tries to update the standings following the event.

Class info - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/20...-C-t203667.html

Also - for anyone who competed at Sandown reading this - do the above if you have some time.

Anyone competing in the Championship, can you please check the current championship file at http://www.sauvic.com.au/motorsport/2008SAUChamp.xls to make sure you are in the correct class and times are correct for previous rounds.

Thanks.

Ferni just needs to toughen up :banana:

I can't make Calder as the car will be on it's way to Perth. Bummer too since Jack and Aaron won't be around (Superlap) so it would have been a good chance for some more points!

I'm interested in entering the driver training here, does anyone have a link to installing a fire extinguisher in an R33?

Where do you mount it?

I assume you can purchase the AASA license on the day?

Or do I need/is it better to get a CAMS license?

LOL - so you guys started playing on the net after I left last night huh?? :)

Re CAMS or AASA, its completely up to you and depends on what you want to use it for as to what you should get.

CAMS - $95/year - Level 2 Speed (L2S)

CAMS is most commonly used, and even when events are run by AASA, CAMS are still accepted. Will basically let you do any club level motorsport event in the state.

AASA - $50/year - Download the Club Racing License

AASA can be used at events when AASA is the event insuring body. Only used at Calder and Winton & also for some motorkhana events held at DECA and the like. Ie. SAU-Vic uses AASA insurance for our DECA motorkhana events held in Shepparton.

As I said, its completly up to you what you want to compete in. But if you think you might like to do a track day at Sandown or Phillip Island, then definately get the CAMS license.

Hope this helps.

Mount your fire extinquisher aye:? I'll do it for special price 1 night only $2000.

It's one of those tricky jobs you don't wan't to have to do

What a great price :( , where are you located?

I was just saying *where* do you install it?

Thanks Bec for the serious reply, I plan to hopefully do a track day every 6months (I hope), I'd like to do them more often but it depends on $$$ so Cams L2S might make sense, although I think I'll be entering the driver training at Calder.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
