Hey everyone!

Texi is on Jan 31st, and like always we need helpers on the day to do things like timing, end gates, "3 2 1 GO!", marshalling etc - basically all the things you saw myself and the legends who helped out last time doing

None of the jobs are hard at all, its an easy way to get up close to the action.

A couple of people have already offered to help out, who did so without knowing there would be payment; What legends! (and yes, they'll be paid now)

I do need helpers onsite from 830am until event ends which should be 445pm. There will be a lunch break around 1230pm while the courses are changed to the afternoon courses

Lunch and drinks will be provided free throughout the day.

Yes you can choose what job to do, here's each one;

- "3 2 1, GO!"

Counting down the time so drivers know when to start their runs. Very simple, just need a loud voice and 3 fingers to hold up

- "Timer"

Timing each run and writing down the end time on a form provided. Also if someone goes a wrong direction or hits a cone, taking note of that.

- "Marshall"

Ensuring the flow of cars onto and off the track stays smooth. Its basically a traffic controller job, making sure the entry to the skidpan (single lane) doesnt have a traffic jam and that the next car is ready to have their run. Common sense really!

- "End gate"

An official who mans the end gate of a course, reports if an entrant hit a cone, and once the entrant has come to a complete stop will move a single cone out of the way for the entrant to move to next course

I need;

2xtimers

1xmarshall

1xend gate

1x3 2 1 GO

So far the following have offered (sorry if someone offered and i missed it);

MsNismo (Timing)

Xmetal

BezerkR32

So we need a few more - who can help out and earn some coin for the day? :(

If my car breaks on Thursday I'll scream 3 - 2 - 1 - Go, or traffic control and even if it doesn't break, gimme a job as I said to you a few weeks ago in PM.

Uncy Duncs and all the others managed to get runs in last time, so I'm pretty sure I can manage to if you gimme a job,

i was going to bring my camera up hoping that you might be able to learn me some stuff.....

I'm always up for it Steve. I can hand my camera to someone else for a while if you need another set of hands. :banana:

hmm seems there's enough people willing to volunteer

I'm not fussed either way, just if needed I'm happy to free up a spot for someone who wants in if it gets full & then be a marshall

If not I'll just have to show these skirts how to texi :P

hey ill be more then happy to do anything on the day for the club, not sure as to how much help i would be but if i can run a store im sure i can time or countdown or do little jobs for you guys! as long as i get to see some skylines!

i was going to bring my camera up hoping that you might be able to learn me some stuff.....

For sure! I don't mind doing tutoring on the day. :huh:

Eric! I'm wanting to have a go at motion picture too so yeah i'll do some footage time as well. ;)

I would have thought more peeps would take up Steve-o's offer of 50 buck each,,,hell I'm thinking about it and with back pay I'll be owed about $2000.

Are you paying us cash mate or are you using your cheque book?.

Everybody Steve-o's not really going to pay you 50 smackers,,,he's just a funny bastard.

Neil.

Well, Pay or not I'm still in for 1/2 day. With all of the work that goes into an event such as this we really do need our members to step up and help out from time to time on the event.

I think Xmetal has the same outlook but check with him then assign me a job.

See ya there - oh, I've got a new tiny camera that is the size of a key fob - great for really low on-board or in cabin shot back at the driver.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • 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
