I know this was discussed in the Wasteland for a bit, but deserves its own thread to mange who's going meet ups ect

I will be there with the Vodka O team in the Australian GT Series all 4 days, (so make sure you support our Lambo and Porsche out on track!

we have 25 confirmed entries (no pink GTR this year), and an Hour Twilight race on the Friday which means glowing brakes and exhaust flames

Guess some other will be there to watch the taxi's trundle around the track a bit.

A popular time for SAU meet ups has always been at the "fashion" shows running saturday and sunday behind the grand stand

checked the long range weather forecast......not lookin good

warm but rain every day

Frid = 35 Rain

Sat = 28 Rain

Sun = 27 Showers clearing

Aside from the sucky humidity, the rain should make for a more interesting race, no? :)

-D

That weather forecast is bloody PERFECT Sled .... nice and warm (but not inanely hot like many years), and a bit of moisture makes for VERY interesting races and some awesome stacks!

I'll be there working hard on the Saturday and Sunday

apparently some clown will be dressing up in uniform and trying to sell the Army Reserves to people

:rofl:

easy money, and can wander around during the day too :D

I like my weekend's to include some moisture :nyaanyaa:

Will be in Rundle Mall with the GT cars from 9.30 Wednesday

Hi Guys,

I will be coming over thursday morning for the weekend.

I work with globecam/V8 SC TV doing the incar cameras for all the classes.

It looks like its going to be a busy weekend with about 20 cars to rig plus the V8's.

Hopefully the weather plays nice too.

Cheers

Luke

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
