Am i able to sign up to SAU even though i don't have a skyline? I meant to ask this question on the day. If so, would love too as i fully support this club in what they do and practice.

Absolutely, Kory - the club is for Skyline enthusiasts, so it doesn't really matter what you drive. Heck, quite a few of our members and Execs (past and present) don't even own a Skyline anymore!

tip freaking top day. Had so much fun, as always as Wakie!!! Love that place.

Had a nice big screeching sliding off into the grass and mud in session 1 when i hit some coolant or something, apologies to Shell as my passenger........ was fun though!!!!!

My Dad had a blast in the Audi, and he loved taking passengers around all day. He was so proud that there was a queue of people waiting for a ride in the Audi ;)

Cant wait for another one. Also my camera battery died after taking 2 pictures on the day, DUH! So i'd be keen to get copies of anyones pics if that ok. Looking forward to that DVD of photos too!!!!

Cheers to Ando, Chubbs Clappa and co for all their hard work getting it organised. These days dont run themselves, and your hard work is greatly appreciated.

As Nick said, you can certainly sign up to become a member. ;)

PM me and I'll mail out forms, or check Secretary "Shell" and her Sig for a download.

Sorry, but I packed up the desk & forms at lunchtime. Cheers, T

Even put together a RB30 bottom end on sunday for my car, so 11tybillion killerwasps for me!

Glad I could help out, and thanks to Cassbo for taking Prue for a run :down:

I had a really good day :) everyone who ran it did such a good job!!

I finally went in a car Ando, happy now? Haha.

Will def be at the next one!

Don't know why you decided to go into a slow one though :down:

Sounds like everyone had a good day, lots of PB's, including two zeds. Duncan's GTR went well. The Slot Car was getting pumped up ready for the next one.

Curious what was the fast car there?

Well now that the dust has settled and i've had a bit of time to go over the car i've found a few things as a result of the day:

Both front brake discs have hairline fractures everywhere on the donut's so that explains the vibration felt while braking after the first sessions. Replacements needed

Underbody is fine despite the grass cutting sessions, although the underside of the front cf lip copped it a little bit, there's no real damage

Front brake pads need to be replaced (time for ferodo ds2500's)

A second set of rims will be needed for track days!!!

Well it wasn't me John, I spent to much time spinning around in circles!

Had my first ever spin at the fish hook. I was using Khumo Ku36 tyres, and had no idea that a street tyre needed so much heat before they worked. Came out the pits nice and easy and barely made turn 1. Took it very easy up through the top and even coming in slowly into the hook, all 4 just let go and did a nice couple of 360's.

2 laps later though, they were awesome, and easily one of best street tyres you can get for the track.

John, It was the 32 GTR previously known as FAT R...makes 500kw at the treads or so

The first couple of spins really annoyed me (I think I was just trying too hard) And I thought to myself "I'm never gonna get this right" but I got used to it by the end of the day. I was still pretty happy with how I went at the end of the day for a big newb.

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
