Course it is - there is a NSW contingent coming down. Eric (NSW) & Vu (SA) are going to be doing some filming for state clubs that will go onto the DVD as well, so it'll be quite awesome :)

Just to spectate @ both events will be free :)

if its th one in your avatar, its a cube with mags. Mr Chef has set the bar with cubes

Why so serious? It's almost stock, I'd just be entering for a laugh, it wouldn't win anything. But I was making the point that some FWDs might like to enter and there's no class for them to enter in.

Perhaps its just me but I dont see the point of a "Best Intruder" class when there are still other area's to add trophies for the skylines.

"Best Engineered" for example. Sure its a pipe dream for me, but if the class existed, I would be stoked if I won it. Or of I didn't it would be nice at least to be compared with other highly engineered cars. Best modified R32/R33/R34 could also potentially have their own classes.

Considering Im driving over 6000km to attend this event, I see "best intruder" as being about as important as the best commodore burnout. Both are things I won't be looking at while at a 'Skyline' event.

(Dont take that as though I'm hating on your cube either. After all, my other car is a vw! We are all entitled to our bad tastes and insanities.)

Good ideas there Ian, and valid points. It's people like you travelling as far as you are - is what we are trying to accommodate best. Hence limited track day numbers to give everyone as much track time as possible for their travel.

Best Modified though - interesting class given there is already "best R34" and "best overall GTR" - the same car would potentially already take two trophies and then best mod as well.

Unfortunately the budget for the event isn't endless so can have unlimited trophies for all classes.

Although that said I've been talking to 2-3 places for trophies and getting rough quotes. If its as all possible there will be more classes. Will come down to whatever kinda deal can be organised really

Hoping to get all the SAU Club Presidents along to do the judging, and then one club member as well or something.

Was also thinking of a SAU Club "grudge trophy" for the Club with the most attitude, and then each year it gets taken into account and various clubs could win it for the year haha. Nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry,

Also if people that are coming to the SAU Nats, want a pic of their car on the Facebook album - shoot a pic though

saunationals 'at' gmail.com

Already a few pics going up/coming though. :thumbsup:

Gotta say I'm massively pumped about this. Finishing touches being applied to the 32 in preparation, but damnit shoulda done the track day on the Sunday and show n shine the day before - cos the car is going to rock up perfect, then get thrashed on the track.... I need a pet detailer :D

Ash, what do you think the chances are of finding accommodation now for 2 people?

No idea?

The Accommodation Widget on the site will give you an idea pretty quickly.

It's real time - so you can book now :)

yeah sussed it out, looks to be plenty of options available so that's a good sign. Not sure what days I'm coming yet or if I'm staying, so I'll look again when I know what's going on..

Any idea where the majority of the Vic guys are staying?

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
