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!!

you and your stops, Harden up and drive straight through Dave. Saves on accomodation. :thumbsup:

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

you and your stops, Harden up and drive straight through Dave. Saves on accomodation. :thumbsup:

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. :)

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
