Don't mean to hijack ... but there is also the SAU SA club BBQ/nomination happening at Ministry of Bass on the Sunday. For those who are concerned about missing this, and not wanting to missing the Drift Supercup event, I can see what I can do about coming out to Mallala after the Ministry of Bass meeting to handout/gather more membership forms and voting forms.

Rather than clog up this thread with responses ... PM me if you are such a person who will be at Drift Supercup, but also want to join SAU SA and vote. If there are enough numbers, I'll take the drive out to Mallala :P

Thanks Penny :cool:

why is it so dam expensive $25 bux for what :) that's one thing i hated about the drags

WSID is like $15 to get in and AIR was like $20 for non national even and nationals were like $25 no conc.

/rant

would like to come but to far ahead to tell plus i always do hand over on sundays so have to be either @ the city by 5pm or ridgehaven which means leaving event @ 4pm

steve WSID is always going to be cheaper as they have a much larger number of entrents for local events, BJ couldnt let people in at a loss, he has to cover costs. i'll deff be getting out to this, then the following weekend to the hill climb

Its a good thing entrants in the AJD got themselves a ticket for free entry and parking closer to the paddock. :)

Makes up for the fuel to drive out there :)

edit:

On that note, I may come out to the Saturday session also if anyone wants SAU SA membership forms and committee nominee forms. I'll be wearing my SAU jacket. :woot:

PM me to discuss SAU SA and meeting me out there.

if not workin will be out to watch this, this is a big step in the right direction for drift and motorsport in SA so will be out there showing support.

Was considering entering but seeing as i might only just have my car back together by then if im lucky dont wanna waste a comp trying to learn a new setup.

this is a National event, replacing Drift Australia, you will be seeing the best drivers in Australia battling side by side, $25 is peanuts for what ur getting.

btw ill be there in street class, should be a great day, make sure u tell everyone u know about it and keep National level drift in SA alive.

btw if i remember right, DA was the same $$, so i dont know what the issue is?

ah ok, yep G1 has always been cheaper. G1's are like drift practices with competition basically, DA and no doubt DSC are more like a typical national motorsport event, girls, trader stands, on track entertainment etc, theres a lot more to see and do.

me and flick should definately be at this. I gotta make sure i got the weekend off but flick already does. She should be out doing photography again so get your orders in drivers :D

go on the mallala website and read bout it

states all the times on there

otherwise in the drift section of ns there is a full topic on it

Can't access the schedule, was also not working 4 me yesterday could someone plz post time that it finishes on Sun

The '5S' Carpark

Want to park closer to the action at the Drift Supercup on Sunday 24th May?

If you arrive in a;

Silvia,Soarer,Skyline,Supra or Sprinter

we will have someone strategically placed to direct you into the 5S Carpark.......directly behind the main grandstand. When it is full it is full so you will need to cruise up to Mallala early!

Dont think im too keen on driving the 34 down there however.

    • 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. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
