Noice!

They are allowed aren't they Wayne?

Hey wayne - what do you use for tow hooks and 2nd bonnet restraint?

My CF bonet has pins, but your std setup has a built in 2 stage release (cabin lever/cable and release lever at front), same rules as supersprints.

I have a fixed front tow strap and use the stock tow points on the rear so should be good to go. And yes mate those tyres are sweet as. :stupid:

Nice one Wayne!

Thats what I was thinking also - but I'll get a belt just in case for the secondry!

I'll see you tomorrow mate!

p.s. you were up early today, early golf lesson??

you missed Ryan, Corinne!!

Adam, I spoke to Nathan and he wasnt 100% - he said bring a belt just in case I dont pass without it.

So we have...

Ryan, Wayne, myself, Greg, Sydneykid and son of sydney kid.....anyone else from SAU NSW?

Gary and Matt have had to withdraw I think, car still not going OK.

But John and Paul are also club members so its a great showing.

Also some great news for club members - we have obtained one of the corporate areas above the pits for the day. Bring your member card and enjoy the warmth and good views :)

Was a great outing. Some photos up of the 35 but also got some of lots of GT-R's and that widebody GTS-T that got up on two wheels.

Paul was this you driving?

No Luke driving...this is at the end of the straight on his 1st lap...catch can full already and plumbed back into the inlet to keep it road legal. As Luke backed off oil sprayed back out the inlet through the AFM's resulting in the car stalling mid corner. Luke did very well to keep the car off the tyre barrier and on its wheels. We cleaned it up and removed the plumbing to the inlet, used a vented 1 litre water bottle as a catch can over flow, restricted the car to a 7000rpm limit and 16psi of boost to try and keep the car out there. His next session saw only 2 hot laps before bottle was full and spraying oil through the engine bay. To manage a best time of 1.18.5 was a massive achievement considering how de-tuned the car was and lack of track time.

dave, i'm running a T518Z on the silvia. great turbo for the SR20. very responsive and making 235kw atw. yeah more boost would be awesome, but the little ol SR would go POP I think!

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • 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)
