Tech night explaining entry level motorsport covering things like;

-Different catagories

-Explain the rules and regs for different catagories

-Car choices

-Basic modifications to compete

Prob a few other things that could be discussed but i think that would be a good start.

wow thats such a good idea, i bet duncan wish he thought of it. :D

and as for the membership, i'm keen but it will have to wait till this drama with my lude is over. :)

oh man I am being stitched up good tonight!

Seriously though, intro to racing night with a couple of sample cars to pore over, and a quick overview of different categories and realistic budgets would make good night.

How about a theory based circuit night?

Something where people can ask a professional driver or two or three about racing lines, car control, setup advise etc etc.

You could run one before the eastern creek day so people can get some theory advise before heading out to the track....

Boz was looking at running one for trackschool, could easily be converted to a skyline specfic thing too.

Can you imagine it?

If you turn left and it goes rattle rattle your bearings are gone.

Turn right and the oil pump makes this noise "crack pop pop bleh"

hehe

Let me know the date :)

Any questions or main topics anyone wants us to focus on?

IMO A big point should be that simply whacking in some forged slugs and rods won't make an engine bullet proof.

and making a point that the machine work/clearences is 99% of what makes an engine survive and not those $$$11ty HKS pistons

basic maintenance?

Brake pad change and bleed

Coolant flush

Plugs change

Fuel filter change

Fuel pump change

Brake master cylinder change

yep they're pretty basic but i think a night which covers common consumeables for skylines now that they're getting a bit long on the tooth would be great. Especially for some first time owners??

This get's a big +1 from me. It may be basic stuff to a lot of people on here but for some us it would be a great starting point. One of the reasons I joined was to give me access to people and information that I just don't have in my normal circle of friends ( to many inner city tree hugging hippies )

I will be attending every Tech night I can but I'd like to get my head around the basic stuff first. I'm reading as much I can but you can't beat practical teaching.

I don't suppose there's any chance they can be filmed?

*Crosses fingers*

if they are please make em available to interstate members action-smiley-069.gif - id gladly pay for recordings of these :)

I would actually die for something like this to happen in perth, the only way I can learn about this is for me to buy a cheaper car to work on and just jump right in and hope for the best confused.gif i tried a short weekend tafe course on basic car maintenance but it was useless really.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
