On Thursday October 7th, SAU:SA held there second private track day held at Mallala Raceway. With a pre-meet at Villi's at 6am, it was bound to be a long day. This did however provide some nice light on the drive up, something I couldn't go past.

Once everyone arrived, they spent little time stuffing around and got to business of getting the cars ready to get out on track. Entrants we're split into three groups, first timers, intermediates and advanced and would go out in 20 minutes sessions.

First cars out, first timers which comprised mainly of street cars/daily drivers

Next up were the intermediates with a good variation of skylines, from R31-R34 and even a Onevia.

Then it was time for the advanced/pro's to come out for there first session. Oddly enough, this was the group that had teh least amount of skylines in it.

Now that everyone had gotten the first session nerves out of the way, people started getting into the flow. With timers available, people were able to find out what times they were running. This made some push harder and try different lines to get there times down.

Others were just out there to have fun.

A great day had by all. A big thank-you to the executives of SAU:SA for organizing the day, especially the bbq for lunch. Also to Mallala Motorsport Park for giving us a track to use and everyone that helped on the day to make the day run smooth.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
