I am intimidated, Tim is louder and more talented and by all reports plays up harder then me....Russ is quicker...I am not sure where i fit in anymore :D Doesn't matter though...I bet i still spend/lose the most cash, credit cards and dignity :)

See what I break this time/if I make it there :(

disapointed my names not on the list considering forms were emailed yesterday.
i dont think he likes you. just quietly. sneak in maybe?

Actually, my email does not like you and sent your forms the Junk folder... However it likes your friend James.

Will update shortly.

thats a sore tooth, and Basti thanks for pointing it out.

Yeh thats the odd thing, james was sent after mine and most likely from the same email address because it was done on the same evening 1 after the other.

thank you for looking into my issue, i'll buy you a drink :P (to make you happy with my attendance, not as a bribe)

OK, now i speak for Me, Tim B, Russell and Chris T when i say this, PLEASE clean out the inside of your

car before coming up to scrutineering. If i find any half eaten big macs etc i may jump on your roof.

Russell knows what i mean :D

Cheers

Campbell xxoo

happy happy joy joy ! i'm in :D

is this where i point out, the last and only time i was asked to remove any loose item's from my entry vehicle was feb 2009 ? ad it was only the glovebox which was jam packed, spare wheel jack n tools.

just for you russ iv'e taken a few dents out of my cars. my silvia is straight again ! and my ute got 2 replacement panels yesterday, working on the 3rd but doubt i can afford it after doing suspension n brakes.

nah not really for you it's just been long time comin.

Hi all,

I have one question regarding entry form.

Do I have to fill drivers name section on top of entrant name section even though I'll be only one driving?

Also, is it ok to mount fire extinsurger on one of bolts at rear seat (previous owner set it up and he was a SAU member btw)?

Hope to email the forms and pay the fee first thing tomorrow.

Cheers

Grant

Hmmm don't quote me on this but I ditto everything in the drivers section (or vice versa) after completely filling out the owners section and it seems to get accepted as okay. Fire extinguisher must be mounted in reach of driver from the driver's seat. If you can reach it, it's fine...

Adis you do not need to be an SAU Vic member to attend this event. Just read the requirements on the first page for what you do need. Put in your forms and payment anyway, because even if the spots all fill up there is 5 reserve spots. People inevitably pull out of DECA in the week leading up to it (car issues etc.) so you have a good chance of getting in even if you're on reserves.

Other than that, if you just want to see what it's about without driving, ride shotgun in someone's car ;)

Niroj and Birds, thanks for answers.

Now to complete the forms and will fill drivers just to be sure.

Also on AASA application form - one of section below the declaration said something about filling 'Competancy Declaration by Club/Organisation/Person' do I get a committee to fill it out or just leave it?

Cheers

Grant

Can someone please tell me do i need to be SAU member to enter and also is there any more spots available? Wouldnt mind checking this event out, looks like fun. Cheers, Adis.

Just enter. you will regret not entering if you come and watch. Guaranteed.

grant: no but you might as well do it, and yes thats where i have mine

Yes, you are meant to fill out every section of the form.

Grant, what model GTR is your car? R??

    • 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)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
