I’d like to announce an addition to the SAU-Vic Motorsport Championship.

Sunday 9th November – Phillip Island will be added to the championship as the eighth round. The motorsport committee has decided because of the loss of two rounds we would like to make this addition. The championship was originally comprised of seven rounds. But in actual fact, even with the edition of Phillip Island we ultimately will only be competing in six rounds.

Morewell – 10th May was cancelled due to the old hill climb track being decommissioned and relocated.

Calder – 5th July was cancelled due to becoming financial unviable for the WRX club to run. Calder Park have significantly increased their hire fee’s this year and it was going to end up costing around $350 per entrant to run this event. Which I’m sure we all agree is not worth it.

The event on Sunday 9th of November is run by the Phillip Island Auto Racing Club (PIARC) www.piarc.com.au and will be a timed sprint day. PIARC also run an untimed practice day on the Saturday (8th Nov)

Many club’s and days were considered, but the PIARC day was chosen as our best option from a club championship perspective because its everyone’s favourite track, everyone will get a spot that wants to come and the price

is good usually good at $140. We know the track gets busy at these events but given half the SAU crew are probably going to attend this event regardless it seems like the best option.

can we just do the practice day or do you have to compete both days?

Of course you can just do the practise day. But as far as the SAU Club Championship goes only the Sunday counts obviously (since there is no timing on the Saturday).

cool. How does it work with $$ though? Does the $140 (or whatever it will be) cover the practice day and sunday timed day? Or is $140 each day?

My car should be quick in theory, if not for the schmuck behind the wheel! lol

I've got a long way to go to catch you mate... but chasing the GT-R's should keep the motivation going :D

Shane: It'll be good to get another S13 out there, should be some good battles

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
