Date/time: 6th August - 4PM

Where: Skyline Auto Works - 4/5-7 Malta St, Fairfield East NSW 2165

What: We have a great day planned for everyone. The main purpose is o give everyone a better understanding of what you should do to prepare your car for a track day and general maintenance.

This day is for the complete novice to the track pro's. Aside from getting a better understanding what it takes to be track ready you will also get some really handy tools for general maintenance.

One lucky person will also walk away with a Takumi Oil pack and SAU track shirt!

We have some great guest speakers lined up, including:
- Takumi oil

- Gates

- Skyline auto works

- The track day man himself, John Boston from Trackschool

On top of our speakers we will be having a live demonstration on our track car of all the necessary mechanical steps that should be taken for a track day. Below is a few of the items we will be going over.

  • Oil change
  • Coolant top up/check
  • Spark plug inspection
  • Tyre pressure check (ideal settings for the track)
  • Brake fluid check
  • Bleed brakes
  • Brake pad inspection
  • Empty car of loose objects
  • Battery secure
  • Correct sticker placement if competition event
Cost: FREE for club members - $5 for non club members.

This is an official SAU:NSW event.

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to:

• Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
• Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should.
• Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.

• Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
