wtf is this shit?

We already have VicDrift and legal events they organise. You silly cunts will ruin it for the rest of us with your "drift meets". If you dickheads wanna meet up in your cars and pull off skids on the streets, don't drag the rest of the community down with you. Keep it legal, and stick to official bodies with far more history and reputation than a bunch of kids who wanna slide in industrials.

In summary, I'll make this simple and crystal clear:

South East Slideways is NOT welcome on SAU, do not ever post up links to the forum, facebook group, their events, or anything to do with this "club". Anyone found doing so will be banned.

dont be a hater, so what if theres a street section have you not noticed warnings and shit? yer totally i will rock up to an advertised meet in baysy for skids wtf have a proper look before you lecture me on how i behave when u know nothing about me or the club or events we choose to run, when u see a skid meet posted then have a go at me, and what vicdrift have drift clubs outlawed to be the only one? wanna tell night reign to shut down, ps, if you notice afew other forums have a street section sept its mostly of japanese vids go lecture them to please.

*edit* btw speaking of examples ever ban the guy who was caught sliding westmeet, booked, and car shown with SAU sticker on a current affair? yep were totally guna be on ACA to mhmmm...

So what about the warnings?

All it says it be careful when talking "about" it. It is still OK to do so, and therefore condoned/supported by having such a section devoted to it.

We couldn't care less about what other people/forums do. The issue is when they want to come here and cross promote on OUR forum, that is when the line is crossed.

As for the ACA rubbish, it was just that.

Whats so bad about using NS? Its were everything Drift in Victoria happens anyway.

No offence, but more victorian forums yet its not like anything other than cruises ever happen.. Will you guys be organising drift days?

As the creator of the South East Slideways group and the Club President, I'm appalled at your attitude.

sprinter666 may have been wrong in posting a link to another forum here, but WE IN NO WAY SUPPORT ON STREET DRIFTING. We do have a section to discuss on-street drifting as well as track drifting at the users own risk, but this does not mean we organise illegal events.

If you take the time to read the rules, this is all clearly detailed.

We are just a group of good friends who saw a hole in the drift community, VicDrift's forum is basically dead and NS is really not the place to hold drift discussions effectively.

You're welcome to your own opinion, but please make sure you have your facts straight before making accusations.

Thanks, Gordon MacK (fae)

WE IN NO WAY SUPPORT ON STREET DRIFTING. We do have a section to discuss on-street drifting

In no less than 20 words you contradict yourself in amazing fashion. Top work.

All the "rules" say is be careful what you say. :thumbsup:

It does not say anything that you are against such topics, behaviour or otherwise.

You have a "street drift" devoted section and at the same time want to attempt to have people believe that you don't support it?

If you didnt support it there would not be such a section devoted to it, and users would not be allowed to discuss it. It's as simple as that.

We don't have a section devoted to street drifting. You'll notice that the subforum is called Track and Street Drifting.

If you open up your dictionary and read the definition of 'support' I think we'll understand each other a little better. We are not against Street Drifting, but we do not support it either. This is why we don't run illegal events or defend Street Drifters in any way.

I honestly don't know why you're getting so up in arms about it. I've been to quite a few of SAU's cruises in the past few years and I can say with utter conviction that your events are less than legal.

We're clearly not getting through to anyone here, pehaps it's best to lock this thread and move on.

Edited by gmack

appologies for snapping back knee jerk reaction. get where your comming from, i dont agree however and im proud to be heavily involved with this and cant wait to see our deca and track days come to fruition after some hard work. either way ill see you out on cruises but i hope u get used to the club because i damn sure want it to last a while regardless off your opinion of one section in our forum. bottom line people will discuss it whether theres a section or not so im happy its there whether its to discuss raids at west meets n have a laugh or check out vids of taniguchi banging is gt apex trueno through the hills in the 80's.

sorry for the strong argument i have my opinion and respect yours the end :thumbsup: peace and love!

Utter conviction. Interesting.

Rather sweeping statement don't you think? Having attended many SAU events over the years and been involved in the organising of them too, I can tell you it is a sweeping statement. Warnings are issued to the group as a whole prior to an event incase anyone thinks they can act up, due not only to the reputation of the club and the ability of the demographic attending but because of the law. Anyone caught acting up either on the day or in the wrap up's after is quickly addressed. The behaviour I have seen on SAU cruises is very good as a general rule of thumb and the very few examples of poor behaviour, are shut down fast.

I also notice you are not a club member so am not sure how you can say that with utter conviction

You have a section, you are harbouring it. You let them talk about it but you don't defend them...

BTW - I've never said you are running illegal events either.

All the SAU-Vic cruises I've been on for the most part every single person behaves without major issue at all, I'd know - i get a report after each event.

To make a statement to the contrary is nothing more than a lie.

What happens @ open meets, i couldn't care less about. Either way there are no sections devoted to such activity, nor is it condoned/supported or otherwise.

A distinct difference.

Anyway i agree - this should be locked. Such illegal behaviour and places that openly let discussion go on, have no place here.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
