Wow, it was so good being a flaggie. At first i thought yeah, since i can't afford to run i might as well go flaggie, put a bit of effort in for our club cos' i remember back down PI no ones want to be a flaggie and i was wrapt being so close to all the action......

Watching Ben, Andrew, Chris, MR Brisby the AVOR33 flying pass was just so good. Sad to see GTREAL broke down a few times due to the cooler clamp ( last time he broke down was right in front of us ) but THE BEST OF ALL was this BEAST ...

anyone know who this is? Me and Dean ( a Rex official i think ) was hanging out just to see THE BEAST get back on track, this thing was FLYING.

Anyone know what mod it has, the front camber was crazy and ofcourse all of our members and the rexies was putting on a really good show. Now i know when its' the next track day and what to do when i can't affort to run :Pimp2:

a few more pics ..

racing there happens all the time from different clubs. SAU Vic tag along with the WRX track days - you can see a list of them on this page http://www.wrx.com.au/motorsport/default.php

No more sandown track days for the rest of this year with WRX guys. Winton and calder are the only ones left this year. Coming into winter track days usually stop for a while.

Congrats to all the boys for getting some great times at Sandown.

The presence of SAU was excellent both on and off the track.

Pics to follow soon.

PS. On ya Brisby for showing everyone what the 32 could do. Still can't believe you were the only one still going at the end of the day - it just doesn't seem right!!!

Ni - yeah Brisby surprised us all - perhaps we should have more faith in him.

Aaron - thanks - it was hard work taking photos, shooting video footage and still being a semi-compotant flag marshall!!!

Oh yeah and if anyone wants one of the above photos - PM me an email addy and I can send you the full size version.

For obvious reasons it was the most fun ive had at a track day for a while...:D

Good work to Bec, West, Jarrod for flagging, :D

And for what its worth, for those that had mishaps, just remember swings and roundabouts so next time will be better:)

Main thing is not only did Gareth walk away from the acco, lol he drove away:)

Mate i dont know if there is anything i can do, bu im on holidays so let me know if you need a set of hands.

And truth be told i was hoping for a 1:27-1:26, the fact that the car easily dipped into the mid 1:25s i was a bit surprised myself, what surprised me more is that it did with smoking the inside tyre onto the two main straights, so with just the diff shimmed up i may go see if i can strangle a low 1:24 out of it:)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
