The garages at Wakey are pretty flat anyway, I find my car sits pretty sweet without leaving it in gear or with the handbrake up. Chocs can't hurt for an extra bit of insurance though ;)

Hey what's the go with garages on the day, do you need to book in advance or is it part of the deal?

I'm gonna have suitcases and tools and crap like that so need to put them somewhere.

Cheers

Dave / Everyone.

Garages are first come first serve! But there are heaps of them!!

As for leaving tools about, I have NEVER had any issues with leaving any of my stuff out and about during any track day, be it SAU, Circuit Club, Autosports as it is all a very friendly environment..... I would hate to think that there will be people at our day who would consider 'taking' stuff.

I have a set of old aircraft chocs, for any act people who want to borrow them. (stupid 4wd system being farked :rofl2: )

I'll borrow them CJ! You're coming right? So you can bring them with you?

Dam looks like im going to miss this, wont get the gearbox and new suspension back in time

I seem to remember you owning a skyline Jas!

Gonna be pretty epicly tired.. got 2 days off between now and the friday that im heading down.. Stupid work

Thanks everybody for your response to this day.

We are now full, so please do not send any further payments. Any payments we receive after today will be refunded.

We are happy to run a waiting list for spots, so if you still want to coming along please post up your interest for the waiting list.

It is great to be able to fill this event, and it means we can afford to keep running them - so we will organise another one (or maybe 2!) for next year.

Haha True :rolleyes: lol

Might come down to watch if i get a chance, ill teach you what to do on the dirt haha

***** UPDATE 01/07/2010 - EVENT IS NOW FULL *****

AWESOME STUFF LADIES N GENTS! WE ARE NOW FULL AND ALL DRIVER ENTRIES ARE CLOSED!!!

We will still accept passenger payments, but considering we are taking payment on the day, just as easy to pay then!!

As Duncan said, it is bloody awesome to see we were able to fill this event with ease! Shows people are keen to get out and have a go and make this a worth while venture for the exec commitee for SAU:NSW!!!!

Thanks for all your support!! Stay tuned as over the next few days i will organise groups and further finer details for the day!!!

:):down::P:rolleyes::cool:

The two Evo's juuuussstttt made it in.. haha!

How are the organisers managing groups..?

That would be me organising groups......

I am grouping entrants by experience and previous times.

I am looking at having 4 or 5 groups of 9 to maybe 12 cars in each. Each group has anywhere from 12-15 minute runs (including out lap, hot laps and in lap) so that way you are getting 1 run an hour.

You are going to end up getting about 6-8 HOT LAPS in per session, so plenty of time to 'learn the trade'

As mentioned above, i will be looking into this, sorting it all out over the next few days and will post final groupings shortly.

Hi Chris

It seems this drive day is full. I'm still keen to go. Let me know if someone drops out.

Regards

Allan/Hammer

Gents - can we please put Allan on the reserves list please? He is from mx5cartalk forums.

:)

Well guys I haven't made the grade... but I do have the car running and nearly ready for tuning... just need to replace a few sensors and then put some decent oil into it.

However, seeing as there won't be another SAU track day for a while I may start to move a few things around... make sure it is ship shape for next time...

Have fun guys and girls!

Stay sidewayz Kidz! (But not at the SAU track day :D)

Dan.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
