Thank you to all at SAU for making my first time at a grip event an enjoyable day. I was pretty happy with the GTR. I think its the first time in 3 years it had a decent thrashing. I just need to get

Had a good day out there even tho I ended up early with a very blown out turbo gasket and a turbo flange with about a 1mm warp in it.

did a 124.16 which is okish would have liked to go a bit quicker, was a fun to do something else than drift for a change.

My GF had a ball driving the drift car for the first time at the track.

This was the best track day that I have been to so far. Thanks for all that helped make the day a one to remember for a while. Good to see that all the cars survived the track day to an extent and to see that even mother nature loves seeing skylines on the track :D

I ran a completely stock setup with used Kumho KU36's (I think this was their second track day) and a stock boost of 7psi and managed a best time of 1:28:58. I managed to do a whole lot of 1:28:xx's and 1:29:xx's together with some 1:3x:xx's. I think the tyres had enough by the end of the day, was getting chronic understeer in turn 2. Surprised that my brakes and clutch held up for the whole days thrashing and was happy to do a few passenger runs and still managing 1:29:xx's

What an awesome day! I rocked up with both GTRs full of E85 & used 8 jerries full as well!

Heaps of passenger rides & some great solo sessions. Even a bit of paddock work out in the middle!

Did a PB today of 1:11.9 & a bunch of 12s. Pretty happy with that from the R33.

The R35 was running in the 16s so need to do some work there!

Overall a fantastic day & as it was raining most of the day in town we were lucky to have a dry track.

Thanks to everyone again.

See you at the next one.

Thanks for letting my have a passenger ride in the 35 mate. That thing is off the chain and you are one crazy mofo driver :D

Was a great day guys, thankyou Munro for the burn in the R33, I'm still putting my organs back in the right spots!

Obviously I'm a bit biased because I helped plan this day, but I think it was the best one yet. We ended up with 22 cars on track, which blew apart any thought of a quiet day, and the atmosphere was awesome. We had about 5 drifters come and try some grip, along with a handful of first timers, as a result we had a huge variety of cars, engine and suspension setups, which made for some very interesting viewing.

Probably the biggest plus of today was the weather, nobody overheated, and nobody got wet, how good is that! The showers were looking a bit threatening at a couple of times, but obviously recognised the importance of an SAU-SA Trackday.

I agree to this 100%. This was by far the best track day that I have been to so far. So many different cars with a wide range of setups etc. Was good to see and compare some times as well. Pretty sure I need better tyres for the next track day :D

I had a gread day out there yesterday for my first track day. Im definitely looking forward to the next one.

I need to stop myself from thinking about more power now though :)

Need to buy my turbo lol :D

I have heaps of photos and video I just have not had the time to transfer but mainly compress them. They are all in HD and RAW formats so to large to upload. Hopefully by the weekend :)

that's not the 1st time John's made the record books.....that same car held a drag racing record for a very long time as well.

I'm not sure but it still might hold that record.....hopefully Johnny sees this and can respond

Probably later in the year. SAU Nationals are in November and we will be pretty busy with that.

But be assured that plenty of notice will be given.

If you want to have first crack at spots though it would be wise to join as a member of SAUSA. The spots get opened up to members first and then to public if there are any left.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
