On Thursday October 7th, SAU:SA held there second private track day held at Mallala Raceway. With a pre-meet at Villi's at 6am, it was bound to be a long day. This did however provide some nice light on the drive up, something I couldn't go past.

Once everyone arrived, they spent little time stuffing around and got to business of getting the cars ready to get out on track. Entrants we're split into three groups, first timers, intermediates and advanced and would go out in 20 minutes sessions.

First cars out, first timers which comprised mainly of street cars/daily drivers

Next up were the intermediates with a good variation of skylines, from R31-R34 and even a Onevia.

Then it was time for the advanced/pro's to come out for there first session. Oddly enough, this was the group that had teh least amount of skylines in it.

Now that everyone had gotten the first session nerves out of the way, people started getting into the flow. With timers available, people were able to find out what times they were running. This made some push harder and try different lines to get there times down.

Others were just out there to have fun.

A great day had by all. A big thank-you to the executives of SAU:SA for organizing the day, especially the bbq for lunch. Also to Mallala Motorsport Park for giving us a track to use and everyone that helped on the day to make the day run smooth.

    • Sell it and buy something newer? 😛
    • Better then PooPooG... or is it PeePeeG? 
    • The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan. 
    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
