I'd love to be going but with work and not having my car in one piece still it looks like I won't be making it. However this should be an AWESOME event and I would love for all of SA to support it. A lot of the backstage prep work that has been done is amazing and I can't see it being a let down

I think Martin means entry into the event :)

Entries should be up in 2-3 weeks. Final signoff is taking a little while for insurance/regulations as there have been last min changes etc.

Entry form will be 100% online and take about 5-8mins to complete (I've tested it a few times, works nicely).

The easiest and fairest way will be if you all do it individually IMO.

In more detail...

Each SAU State club has 10 'allocated' spots for the Trackday. So the first 10 SAU:SA members to submit their entry form will 100% be getting a spot :thumbsup:

Anyone submitting after the first '10', will go into the waiting list based on submission date/time (state irrelevant).

So say if QLD only fills 5 out of their 10 spots (after 2 weeks of being open). Those 5 spots will then be allocated to whoever is next on the waiting list. If you were next inline, you'd get an email saying you are in, send payment etc etc.

This was deemed the fairest way by the SAU Clubs who've all contributed to this.

The Show'n'Shine has ooodles of spaces so anyone submitting from SAU:SA will be in.

I believe Vu is looking at doing some video work for the official DVD too :D

Nope :(

Waiting for 3 sponsors still, wont have them sorted till end of next week as they are busy given Superlap committments.

If everyone comes onboard as expected, it'll be under $200. By comparison a normal cost for Winton is $190/80 cars (no trophies).

We are only having 60-65 cars (and big f*k off trophies), so everyone gets maximum track time for probably the same amount of money :merli:

Quite good value indeed, and only possible thanks to sponsors.

Yeah I am in for this (am still negotiating with the wife, but hopefully she will come around) .... and yes, thanks to Ash for putting together such a massive event - Australia will have seen nothing like this!

As much as I would love to attend SAU Nats I won't be coming as the bank is low as is my income and just simply can't afford to but if i win the lottery before then (doubt it) I will gladly attend. Well done to Ash and all the other SAU people who have come together and organised this, hope it all goes well.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
