Hi

The Calder date I am now reasonably sure of (well as sure as anything held there)

I am sort of debating if it should be twilight again or not.

There are advantages in twilight ..cheaper , great experience.

There are disadvantages .. track hire is for 6 hrs not 9.

I am running a vote on our forums ... but what do you lot think.

It was a great spectacle last year. It is something you don't get to do that often. The venue is close to melbourne, friends and family

can come along. That out weighs the session or two you may miss for the event.

You had a few prangs last year, that slowed the event down. I don't see why you couldn't get through the groups quicker without

that issue. Knowing what you do now, parking (lack of), sign-in (30deg, line out the door) should be much better.

Our main problem this year was that a V8Ride day .. overflowed into our time. So we had location problems etc etc etc.

Finally got my car registered, so I'm looking to do some track work this year. Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find out some more info on the SAU days, such as:

1) How much the events cost?

2) How I put my name down?

3) What the format of the day is (e.g. open pit, sessions etc.)?

4) Are there any non-competitive days?

5) Do I need a CAMS licence on top of my SAU membership? (and which one?)

I've done a fair amount of searching, but can't seem to find the answers to these questions.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave...couple of answers to your q's:

1. They vary depending on the circuit (some more $$$ than others) - expect to pay between $100 (haunted hills) to around $250 (phillip island).

2. A few weeks before the event the supp regs and entry forms are released....simply fill in and fax off. There is no pressure to do rounds - you do as many as you are willing to do. As long as you are a current SAUvic member and do at least one round you will be part of the championship.

3. Events are generally done on a session basis - based on experience/past lap time you will be placed in a group. They then cycle through the groups until closing time.

4. All the days are as competative as you want them to be - do not feel under pressure to set the world on fire at your first couple of events - just go out there and have some fun.

5. Yes you will require a CAMS L2S licence. They will cost around the $100 mark for a year. Don't have a link handy but all the info is on the CAMS website.

Cheers

Ant.

2. you can also use the online entry forms, http://www.wrx.com.au/motorsport.html

The CAMS website is a little bit of a maze, so this is what you want.

If you haven't been to the circuit before, just put down that you haven't been there. They will group you accordingly.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
