still, not a bad game to practice on....shame supercar is the only thing you can drive on ec and oran park. at least at bathurst a range of cars is available.

prank, i'm happy to pass on bad habits, I think I've got a few passenger laps booked!

Myself Knat and 3 other guys from work organise a LAN game of V8 Pro Race Driver usually about every 3rd friday night (from 8pm-4am) absolutely awesome when playing against 5 workmates.

We actually find for the best LAN Racing the Mini Cooper-S is great around bathurst. I can do faster laptimes with them than using a 600hp Stockcar.

Ok people... don't forget that we need to be at the track NO LATER than 8am but preferably by 7:30am.

I'll aim to set up shop at garage 31-34 so look for me in that area.

Debriefing will be as usual at the Cricketers Arms from approximately when you get sick of driving to when you get sick of talking shit and/or bragging about how you smashed that manaro when you did your hot lap of 1:34.893 with other skyline drivers.

Looking forward to it.

Dan.

Hey Talej, particularly if you've not been before, come along and watch / passenger before you head out as a driver.

There's another day on 24/7 (yes, it was a calendar date before it became a saying :P ) that you can drive at!

Im a new meber to SAU and will probably come out to watch. i have never been before though so have some simple questions. Even though im not driving im still allowed into the garage area and so on?

What time does it finish? as i may not be able to make it until maybe 9 or 9:30.

and

is it easy to find the area where all you guys will be?

looks like the gtr wont make it this time (need a new 255/40/17*2)

Your welcomed to come into the pits. Just observe the general rules

No smoking

Keep an eye out for cars entering/exiting pitlane

face the race track

It finishes at 5pm

Hey Pete if your after a set of 235/45/17s then i have 2 your welcome to. They are worn (Well past the indicators, but still visible tread) and even tyre wear so no canvas etc. With me driving easily 1-2 days at the track left in them.

... with you driving, i dont know, but welcome to try.

Ok,

Only 5 days to go.

How to get to the pits

Dirve along M4 and exit at either Reservoir rd or Wallgrove rd and head to the GWH.

From the GWH follow the signs to Eastern Creek Raceway (watch for radiar in this area... the cops love to set one up when there is a track day on).

Turn right at the round about when Eastern Creeck (Gate 1) is straight in front of you.

Follow this road ALLLLL the way around to the back of the circuit to Gate 7 Competitors entry (Observe speeds as I have seen cops on this entry road also and yes it is classified as a public road).

From there just keep driving untill you find the bunch of Skylines (or park near garages 31,32,33,34).

Drivers will get a pit garage to put all there gear in.

Spectator and passengers cars can be parked at the back of the pit garages (make sure you park in the yellow marked bays only).

My number is 0414 940 938 if you are having difficulties.

Pete,

I have some tyres that you originally had if ya want them. 235/45/17's I think.

Julian & Urmine,

Bring you gear and money guys, I think Kinks said that he wasn't gonna do this on (just bring his camera) and I think I might just go out for passenger laps and try to maybe grab a session on the end if a few guys have gone early. I should be able to get Julian on track and I would imagine I should be able to get Urmine out there too.

Look forward to seeing you all there,

Dan.

No rain just cloudy (my dad is in the weather business and i already asked him about this) we live about 15-20mins west of EC.

If it rains tho (and my dad is wrong) im happy for you all to submit his email address to spam lists :P

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
