Three and a half weeks to go! Thanks to all those who have signed up so far. Despite the low numbers we will press on with staging the event.

However, there has been a disappointing response from across the forums for this sort of course so i don't think that we can justify putting it on again next year / the foreseeable future. We will still be offering the step up High Performance Course in November (twice yearly event) so it will be great to see people out at that one.

do you need to of done this course to go to the High Performance Course

preferably this or some other defensive driving course. will be fine if you've been out on the track before (open days / motorkhana events) or have lots of experience in the hills. Luke (heslo) can let u know what level of experience they want.

we just want to make sure that there are no complete noobs on the High Performance Course who will wipe the rest of us out by pulling some madd skidz at the wrong time - the HP course is less structured and aims to give u as much track time as possible for club sprint type of events

Yeah you'll be fine Steve, that being said, I think EVERYONE should do this course atleast once, there's some good basic principles on offer here that you take for granted and seem simple but put into practice make perfect sense!

I won't be pulling any intentional 'madd skidz' on the day, but if it's wet I wouldn't be surprised if some of us inexperienced drivers have a few spins we didn't mean to. I've found my skyline to be quite a handful in this weather compared to the cars I've owned previously!

Kim, what other cars have you got coming? Did you manage to get any interest from the Porsche and FPV clubs?

it was wet last year (i remember trudging through the mud across the circuit!) and i think that the rain made it more challenging on the day :)

in terms of other cars, the list will open to the other clubs as of tomorrow. the SA Supra Club will be fielding at least five cars for this. so at this stage, i have a few spots available

It was fantastic with the added condition of water on track. Definitely mixed up the day and kept it interesting!

Yeah alright, where are you coming from , north, south? How about meeting at Caltex Bolivar on Pt Wakefield rd 6:45am. Or meet at villies a little earlier for breaky. Up to yous

Edit: I don't think there are too many SAU people coming as no spectators allowd soooooo.....

Ok, Caltex it is then, out the back. I presume we have to be at Mallala at 8am so it will giva us enough time to get out there if we leave Caltex at 7 or just after. It's still another two weeks away so will confirm with you closer to the date. :blink:

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
