Ok - I hope you've all sobered up now.

Anyways - we had the meeting with the CAMS officials on Saturday morning for the event just to iron out the edges. These guys will be there overviewing the event and are great guys and want us to have fun as long as no-one is stupid. But that will be further defined on the day.

Just some quick points for everyone - hements etc will only be required to be worn on the short track covered in the morning. Any time on the skidpan no helmets will be required.

Also - passengers will be allowed in all events (max 1). Again passengers on the short track will need a helemt but not on the skidpan.

Finally - if anyone is bringing their better halfs along - at the lunch break any ladies that want to have a quick run on the skidpan (with partners permission to use their car) then they will be given a FREE go (no CAMS or anything will be required for this).

Furthur to that Snowie... All passengers and 'better halfs' are not covered by CAMS personal accident and injury insurance.

I think we should ask them to sign a disclaimer. Which will be the third sheet on the entry form. So as to cover SAU's asses..

Nice work mate. I had intended to get soemone to do a cruise up thread. Just so people know myself and Snowie will travel up at about lunch time on friday to get a few things organised up their at the DECA grounds.

Also people's keep an eye on this thread as we will release an Event Schedule mid week outlining all the events and the procedings on the day. People should print a copy and bring it along.

as an idea, what the ford club did, was to run 2 groups so as to maximise time.

ie, half would be on the short track and the other half on the skidpan and then alternate afterlunch so as to give everyone more time and not leave one facility unused......

is this what were doing?

It sure is Phill.

The morning will have groups split into 2 - half at the skidpan and half at the short track. There will be 2 full skidpan events and we'll also run the short track in both directions (with "special additions" to the track). Then mid morning the groups will swap.

After lunch everyone will be on the skidpan as the skidpan will be running 2 identical events at once - so basically people will be racing against each other.

So you should be doing an event once every 20min or so through-out the day.

Updated list of paid and confirmed entries. Have had several people apparently sending in forms etc that are not on this list so if you have sent one but are not here please contact me. If you have been meaning too but haven't got around to it yet remember entries close tomorrow night.

Adam, I take a trolley jack, stands, tools, all fluids and a chair. Any spares that may help are thrown in as well, such as extra brake pads. This shouldn't be too tough on the car though so don't get too worried.

Hey guys, a quick note for thosee who have just entered, there is a cruise up on Friday night, leaving from the Ford Factory in Campbellfield

Please let me know if you are coming so we can wait for you.

Bring your CB's if you have them

BASS OUT

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
