**NOTE THIS IS FOR AN AFTERNOON SESSION**

Hey guys and gals,

Due to overwhelming demand to mix up the driver training a bit, we're please to offer you a chance to do the double skidpan!!!

We the booked Driver Training day on the skidpan at the RAC Facility (formerly AHG) in Kewdale!! This event will count towards the Driver Training requirement we discussed Here.

This event is open to all SAUWA members, whether you've competed in a single skidpan event or not. If we have trouble getting numbers then it will be opened up to non-Members, so make sure you secure your spot quickly.

Please make sure you read and understand all requirements before signing up to this event. Getting there on the day and saying you didnt realise the requirments and are not prepared (not having a helmet etc) will result in you being excluded and no refund will be given. So make sure you know what you need to have!!

The training is held in a controlled environment on a skidpan with an instructor. We have paid for two instructors so everyone gets more time training (otherwise a lot of time is lost while the instructor changes cars). We am unsure who the instructors will be at the moment, however we have done several of these days and recommend any of thier instructors.

You will do a variety of motor-kahna style challenges, which aim to teach things like handling of your vehicle, braking, driver seating postion and several other techniques.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED - RAC no longer have any so you must supply your own helmet.

- If you don't have a helmet, and can't borrow one then let us know and we'll try and assist.

When - Saturday December 12th (Afternoon)

Time - 12.15pm SHARP - 4.20pm. Driver briefing is at 12.30 so BE ON TIME!! (Missing Briefing means NO track time)

Cost - $105 for SAUWA Members. $115 for non SAUWA Members (If spaces available)

Where - RAC Driver Training Facility. Grogan Road Perth International Airport

Please note this is primarily member's only event, so you will be required to be a current financial member to be eligible. Places will go to members first and if there are any left, non-members can attend at full charge ($115)

There are only 16 spots available so please PM me if you wish to participate and pay into the SAUWA bank account details below - as you will need to pay within 7 days to confirm your spot. (First in first served basis sorry). We will not be chasing people up for payments. If you have not paid within 7 days, your spot will be cancelled with out notice and given to someone else. When you send me your PM to confirm your spot, please give me your full name, contact phone number and what model car you will be driving (preferably colour and model) so a running list can be prepared for the day and it will also make it easier for us to work out the order on the day.

Your name will NOT be added to the attendees list unless you PM me, this means we won't be taking names down from people just posting their interest in this thread.

Driver/Vehicle requirements:

Current and Valid Drivers License

Long Sleeve top, long pants required

Helmet

Fully enclosed foot wear

Car to be registered with no safety defects

Seatbelts both left and right hand side front

Can i be put on the reserve list? Would like to go, but seeing as i just did the last one should probably give some others a chance

We'll be running plenty more single skidpan days next year, this event was primariliy for those who'd already done the basic course and wanted to do more. So get your name down for it :(

Sorry, just a simple question. Why is it $30 more than last time?

It's a double skidpan, that means we get to use both skidpans (twice the size) for the course, which for those who've done it before is definately much more fun :(

    • 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)
