Directions for the peoples:

1. Travel down Pt Wakefield Rd, about 4km past Adelaide International raceway, then turn left at the Pt Gawler turnoff. Watch your speed as its easy to miss.

2. Travel down the sealed Rd about another 3km and turn right at this sign onto an unsealed Rd.

3. Travel about 200m's down the unsealed Rd and you will arrive at the Office.

Apparently "this sign" is just general signage and you shouldn't be able to miss it.

I'll be heading there after work and will probably be around for the 6pm kick off, if not then a little later, any other SAU-ers dead set going?

Nah i just went to check it out, i left straight from work so there i was standing in a dirt bowl in a shirt and slacks, to say i was the odd one out is an understatement. :angry:

Very much a "backyard operation" but i guess the price is low, the course looks pretty goo but you have to be careful about where you run off as the tyres can and did cause a bit of carnage to bodykits.

Kinda funny really, cause it wasn't me, but a blue ceffy was the first car out there, 2/3 of a lap down smashed his rear bar but didn't realise and kept going. Then his missus took it out, understeered it on the big sweeper, smashed off the front bar and got beached on some tyres. Had to get pulled out.

Oh and i should revise those directions, the distances are way off, i almost gave up, i thought I'd gone past it.

1. The turn-off is almost 10km past AIR, not 3km, you just need to look out for the "4WD blah blah hire course" sign (summin like that).

2. It's at least another 5km down the seeled road, and there's no sign, you just keep going until there's no sealed road left then turn on to the right-hand dirt road.

3. Those with low cars and hard susp, take it real easy on the road to the office, HEAVILY rutted and pot-holed.

Hey bud i went out to help out ryan (rap183) an his gf Bek, was a good night for practise. Cant wait to finish my 4 door an get back out there again.... Remember thrashin Pt Gawler in my S15 :)

Hey Oosh so that was you in the blue shirt out in the middle of the dust bowl hahaha Good work for Terry for hookin up the track agian.

Craig.

Yeah mate that would have been me, i left there at about 6:45, i should have given you my mobile no. so you could call me. Sorry.

Well maybe next time I'll see you up there, I wont be going next week as I'm in Melb with work, but maybe the week after.

I went out last night and helped johnnie out directing cars and giving people a push it was a little wet

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
