Date/time: 6th August - 4PM

Where: Skyline Auto Works - 4/5-7 Malta St, Fairfield East NSW 2165

What: We have a great day planned for everyone. The main purpose is o give everyone a better understanding of what you should do to prepare your car for a track day and general maintenance.

This day is for the complete novice to the track pro's. Aside from getting a better understanding what it takes to be track ready you will also get some really handy tools for general maintenance.

One lucky person will also walk away with a Takumi Oil pack and SAU track shirt!

We have some great guest speakers lined up, including:
- Takumi oil

- Gates

- Skyline auto works

- The track day man himself, John Boston from Trackschool

On top of our speakers we will be having a live demonstration on our track car of all the necessary mechanical steps that should be taken for a track day. Below is a few of the items we will be going over.

  • Oil change
  • Coolant top up/check
  • Spark plug inspection
  • Tyre pressure check (ideal settings for the track)
  • Brake fluid check
  • Bleed brakes
  • Brake pad inspection
  • Empty car of loose objects
  • Battery secure
  • Correct sticker placement if competition event
Cost: FREE for club members - $5 for non club members.

This is an official SAU:NSW event.

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to:

• Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
• Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should.
• Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.

• Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
