Q. What would the other teams do differently if/when Nulon runs this again? Can that be anticipated?

Q. Was the distribution of points well researched and performed?

Anecdote:- One of my patients is part of the Monaro Club, and upon seeing how well the 'rice burners' performed, became most impressed.

link?

you'd have to create a user and login anyway.

They have been saying they are the only ones that kept to their forum models(all drove evo), and that we had evo and others.

Apparently we also didn't carry drivers over between rounds?

The rules were changed after the first event by Nulon themselves.

We were the only team to keep it all within our make at least, we ran all Nissans.

We could have kept Skylines and still won the event but decided to mix it up a little in the final round.

All of our members offered to back up the rounds but it was decided between Kat and Myself that we would put a strong team together for the last round and take out the series :yes:

I could have run the airport round but decided i would step aside and let the faster guys through! I think it was a wise choice as the team Kat put together was a kick ass combo!

Winning is always going to upset the first loser... Suck it Evo's lol!

I'm a member I had a read, nothing bad on there. One of the guys was of the opinion that we brought in a Falcon and an Evo but I've set them straight on that.

One thing I've pointed out too is that unlike other clubs, our cars aren't made anymore so I think it's great we've stuck to all Nissans given how long they've been out of production! Technically even an R35 GTR is stepping outside our make.

But as we all know SAU is welcoming to everyone.

And I can't speak for other rounds, but if I had to choose a team again for Round 3 I wouldn't change a thing. Awesome bunch of guys that really pitched in and helped each other when needed. True team effort all day.

Same applied for Round 2 in terms of team work. We had quite a lot of support come to the track and help around the pits etc... These guys are what makes SAU a fantastic club to be a part of... Although they were not driving they were still a big part of the team!

Yeah wakie and coota were awesome. wish I had got to see the hill climb as well.

the other thing re: changing cars for different rounds gives everyone a chance of running.

I'm sure there are guys with 9 sec evos in the evo oz club who would have loved the chance to run at coota. but they stuck to the same guys.

    • 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.
