Hey everyone,


SAU:NSW has been offered a very special opportuniy thanks to the team at MotorActive to head up to the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour on Sunday Feb 9. For those of you not familiar with the event, the last 3 years have seen a massive coming of age whereby it is now attracting some of the best GT3 cars and drivers from around the globe.


Of particular interest this year is the Nissan Motor Sport GTR Nismo GT3, for those that don't know that car or for those that are curious you can see it in action here

The Nissan Motor sport GTR will be competing in Oz for the first time and includes local Rick Kelly in the team. Whilst it is expected to run in the top 10 it will have serious competition from SLS Mercs, 458 Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, Audi R8’s. It will also be the first outing at Bathurst for Tony Quin’s McLaren MP412C GT3 (just confirmed).


The list of local and international drivers is also really impressive. As well as many V8 Supercar regulars internationals include:


Mika Salo, ex F1


Markus Winkelhock, ex F1 and FIA GT1 World Champion 2012


Partick Long, 3 x American LeMans Series Champion






These cars lap Bathurst quicker than V8 Supercars and access to the pit area is great so you can get up close to the action.


For more info go to the Bathurst 12 hour website or facebook page.






So now for the special deal for SAU!

MotorActive are offering VIP parking directly opposite the main straight together with 2 adult entry tickets for a total of $35.00!!! It’s also great that they are donating the whole $35 to Camp Quality so what a great way to donate to a good cause.




Once you have booked your spot post up here stating that you are going and if possible a small pic of your car that you will be attending in (does not have to be a skyline!)


Cruise details are still being worked out but we will be departing from Penrith Panthers at approx 7:45am on Sunday Feb 9th.

Check back regularly for updates on post no 2 for cruise details and other special announcments


See you there!

Dave

thanks,

Thanks Dave. Looking forward to this, it should be a spectacular event and the price is ridiculously cheap quite frankly.

Thanks to the guys from MotorActive and SAU for organising! :)

Also, I think I read somewhere on the official page that it is a "keep the change" event, so the $35 entry price, while dirt cheap, means that people are encouraged to pay extra if they are able to, and all of this will go to charity as Dave said.

Was watching last year's 12hr race on Foxtel, just paid. Will bring the GT-R.

Here's a crappy picture of my car

Possible to leave earlier for the cruise to Bathurst? Only because by the time we get there, we'll miss almost half the race :(.

    • 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?
