Well I realised today when looking at the dates for Classic Adelaide this year, I'm going to miss it as I'll be interstate for work :)

BUT to relieve my anger, I thought I would plan a "SAU Classic Cruise". Basically I intend to take the cruise on a few of the sections the Classic Adelaide route so we can all experience the drive (all be it at the speed limit and in 1 lane) that gets such great coverage world wide.

It will be a Sunday Afternoon cruise, so we won't be covering a lot of the course (as it runs over 4 days) but will cover some of my favourite sections. So details are:

Sunday December 9

Meet: 12:30 for 1:00pm departure

Location : Meet near the city (PM to be sent 1 week before)

Directions will be available for d/l when PM's go out.

Register your interest here. Im trying to give plenty of notice so we can get a great turnout like the last cruise to the Murray.

Also note, I realise this is the same day as drift practice, but this can't be helped.

Cheers

Lee

^Dan its not that funny when you think that the R32 skyline qualifies now under the present regulations (late classic)

1 Historic - for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1900, and prior to December 31st 1946

Category 1 – 1/1/1900 to 31/12/1946

2 Classic – for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1947, and prior to December 31st 1971

Category 2 – 1/1/1947 to 31/12/1961

Category 3 - 1/1/1962 to 31/12/1965

Category 4 – 1/1/1966 to 31/12/1971

3 Late Classic – for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1972 and prior to December31st 1990.

Category 5 – 1/1/1972 to 31/12/1976

Category 6 - 1/1/1977 to 31/12/1981

Category 7 - 1/1/1982 to 31/12/1990

:wave:

Pity GTR's aren't eligible though:

301.2 Eligible Vehicle Type

The event is for vehicles manufactured prior to 1 January 1991, with the exception of turbocharged all wheel

drive (AWD) vehicles manufactured post-1981 and “prototype” vehicles regardless of the year of

manufacture. These excluded vehicles do not comply with the “spirit” of the Event and enquiries should be

directed to the Chief Scrutineer for clarification if required.

These technical regulations only permit normally aspirated 2WD cars to be modified to M3; Targa Tasmania

permits turbocharged 2WD to be modified to M3, but this is not permitted in the Aeromil Pacific Classic

Adelaide.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
