ok so I emailed tosh and he linked me to that guide you have linked up there.

There is no mention of SAU on it. Do we just cross out RENEW and REACT and write SAU? Do we get the $145 member price?

Are any SAUers going to this day? It wont be fun without other Skylines :D

Adam, just bring your form on the day. As long as we have payment (don't forget your name on the deposit!) you are booked :D

Anthony, like Jordan said you just get them at the office on the day, at it is valid for the year.

Should be a great day out, especially for any beginners looking at giving it a first go ont he track in a friendly environment. Those who went along to the last one had a great time ;)http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=52715

So we pay SAU but where do we send the form?

Good point Adam, 1st post clarified. :D

Please make sure you all send an email to Tosh with your name and car details when you pay. Like Duncan said just bring the form on the day.

im thinking of coming.

it sounds fun...it will be my first time though.

A few Q's i want to ask

If i come with a passenger who has a license too...Can i let him take turns on going to the track with my car?....without the $160?

Is there shelter area for onlookers?

As far as i know , if he wants to drive he has to pay the $160.

there is a shelter , where you park you car and also another little garage along the straight, and then the " house" like thing that the officals stand around.

Yes, he can take turns in your car but will have to pay the entry fee.

Is there shelter area for onlookers?

There's some near the straight from memory, and lots in the garage areas.

Please let us know ASAP E_Lu-SHuN, thanks.

:P

Wakefield License is $20 I think...and if you dont have a helmet you gotta hire one for another $20.......

Wish I could make it out to this event....especially cause its on a weekend too !!!

on a SAT no less !!!!

but I got some tuning issues to be sorted out !!! cant even run 0.6 bar of boost consistently !!!! :P

Yeah guys its $40 for the wakefield licence and it lasts a year. well at least when i got mine last time. also before i started driving at the track events i was being a passenger and i was also required to have a licence for that. Not sure if thats still the case but it used to be. :-)

Damn i'd so be in for this but my tyres (same as the last Wakefield day tyres I used) are down to their wear markers :P

Edit. I know my mum would be up for another drive too, hrmm maybe we can sneak a HWP car out for the day :P

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
