Howdy all, seems we already have a few SAU folk listed as coming down for our next Wakefield event. They suggested that some of you guys might be interested in coming along and to post it up here.

So here it is if you want to register > http://autosports.com.au/events/view/11

  • Wakefield Park
  • Saturday 13th September
  • $180 per person
  • Includes timing
  • Driver trainers at no additional charge, John Boston and Paul Kemal.

This event we are going to be running a mini "time-attack" session in the middle of the day with the top 5 fastest cars in each class from the times throughout the morning sessions. This will also see some trophys for three seperate classes including 4WD, 2WD NA, 2WD Turbo. These trophys will be held by the winner of each class and there name and car will be engraved onto them. At the next event the trophy holder will either defend the class and trophy and retain or hand over to the person that beats him/her. We arnt playing for sheep-stations but it will be fun and will be good for bragging rights hehe. In saying that i know that there is some pretty serious cars already registered and it should be a good intro for those wanting to get into Superlap next year.

We will also have the NSW Superkart Club down with us again. If anyone is interested in infact having a drive of the Superkarts (which will blow your freaking mind away) just let me know. I will be putting down an expression of interest for those who infact have some motorsport experience and would like to have a drive. At our last event one of the 250cc Superkarts lapped Wakefield on cold tyres in 0.58.60!

With all due respect, if you dont have any motorsport experience i am afraid that jumping into a 250cc Superkart would probably not be good for your health.

If anyone needs any help with any information or help registering for the event, let me know 0408255005.

Im one of those SAU'ers with my name down!! :D

I have done Autosports days and i recommend it!! Great opportunity to learn your (and the cars) capabilities, with professionals willing to passanger for friendly advice!

These guys go quick as well. My 1:13 round Wakey isnt quick amongst them lot, but hey, it definatley makes you aspire to going quicker!! Just follow them for a couple of laps and your set for driving lines!!

Oh and the peeps themselves are quite the funny bunch! :D

Ando's 2cents

That just means you are halfway there already!

And yes, there are some silly quick cars at these days. I know elias in his s2000 is at this one and i think the slot car is booked in as well.

I'd book in for a run in a super cart marty but based on my performance last time i think i'd kill myself... but at least i'd die with a smile on my face :sick:

Yes there are some seriously quick cars coming to this event. Elias is going to be there in his S2000 and John from UAS will be there with the big black slotcar.

There is already a few very quick Evo's coming down as well as a couple of super quick NA two wheel drive cars... looking like it is going to be a great event.

Superkarts will be confirmed in around a weeks time... yes they are a freaking crazy thing to grasp driving. To give people an idea of how fast they are,

This is Todd Kelly who qualified on pole at the 2007 V8Supercars round at Eastern Creek

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
