bring the evo not the getz :P

anyone can come but the event will be made up of Skyline Enthusiasts

OK, EVO then

and I'm definitely a Skyline enthusiast just don't have one.

Not sure about that part just yet, having issues getting a totally automated process going (online entry, submission etc).

The accomodation part is fully online and works, tested it out the other day (its 3rd party) so thats good news and people can sort accomm out as soon as the site is launched.

Ok, holidays booked, the missus has been informed and the group from Brissie is growing steadily.

I think we will need a meeting up here to organise the convoy and stops along the way??

Noel, get on it!!

same. mine has been made aware of it. I'm leaving a few days prior though as I am going to tie it in with work and do a rep run for the wholesale business

unfortunately I have to - about every 60-100 km. gotta talk :) (and move lotsa boxes.)

Im up for the straight drive, and will same us some $$

I'll do that at the vic border.

ash,

business sponsors - details please.

Website should be up early next week for people to start getting accommodation sorted (if you have not already).

Entry will be in probably 6 weeks or so.

Remember – SAU Club members will be given priority entry to the Track day.

Its looking like we will only have 50 spots so that everyone coming gets ample track time. Especially those from interstate, gotta make this as worthwhile as possible for you blokes!

I'm assuming it will sell out just from the clubs entry.

Show'n'Shine & (hopefully) Burnout Comp will be general public entry no problem as its looking like at least 200 cars as possible perhaps more.

Businesses chasing me – it’s been something badly neglected i know, and many apologies.

I’ve had major issues getting finalised costs from parties involved. I now have 95% of the costs worked out so I will draw up a proposal over the next 1-2 weeks and distribute accordingly.

If you do wish to get involved then drop me a PM and I will get back to you.

To those that already have. No need to send me another PM - I have not forgotten you :)

Sure will! Obviously there needs to be provision for Sponsors/Workshop cars & other cars coming so the total number is more than 50. Probably 60-65 in total.

However yes - 50 at this stage is all that can be accomodated on advice from the SAU-Vic Motorsport Committee, that will still give everyone a solid amount of track time. Nothing worse than travelling from QLD/SA/NSW and getting 30mins of lap time. :teehee:

Hence you'll need to be a SAU Club member (SA/QLD/NSW/VIC/WA) to get access to the early entry & cheaper entry. Being a Forum User will not give you the discount/early bird.

There will be plenty of notice for all club members and stuff. So everyone will have a fair chance to submit. We will also use club verification to ensure that you are a paid member. So you won't be able to "sneak" in a mate that isn't a member if that's what some people think they will be doing. :)

Vic MSport committee will sit down in a week or two and finalise absolute numbers.

Thinking 10 per state club + waiting list. With club reservation ending after a 7 day period. Goes Public after 4 weeks.

EG:

NSW 10 allocated entries, if only 6 are taken within 7 days, the other 4 spots will go to whoever has submitted and is on the wait list - be that from any club. It'll be decided on submission time of detail/form.

I think that makes sense and think it's fair. Feel free to say otherwise if not. Happy to discuss with all club members how it should work.

Sponsors allocation will be set, it'll form part of the package anyway. :)

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
