well nissan didn't have any posters at all i was hanging out for a 350Z one, but no go.

the only poster that were given out are a mitsubishi one (with the rally car evo 7 i think) and toyota were giving a formula 1 poster of their car.

went last night for a few hours not bad initial impressions were okay nothing really special there apart from the enzo.. had plenty of time to kill so just walked around checked out all the cars went about 4pm so not too many people but started to fill up later. Talked to a few of the car chicks also to kill some time, audi girls looked great and were friendly, VW girls were also not bad as were the Mini chicks, Toyota ones okay, most of the holden girls were a bit skanky I thought, didn't see any of the mitsubishi chicks they must come out later, Merc girls were nice and friendly talked to this girl for a while just casually and she let me sit in the AMG SL55 while she did the roof demo thingy - awesome hehehe. Chick on the lambo stand was pretty cool as well chatted to ger for about half an hour.. heheh. Sat in the 350Z very nice but the chick sitting on the stool next to the car was totally up her self.. Anyway cars - nismo 350Z farkin awesome looks fat just needs turbos you can order the whole kit form the dealer. mazda rx8 looked good but you couldn't sit in it, enzo was pure horn as was lambo murcielago speedster thingo, BMW M3 convertible, AUDi RS6 looked pure horn for a pimpin mobile as did the A8 and Bentley's.. Some of the stands pretty glitzy also lots of interactive displays etc. Holden 427 Monaro very disappointed wheels looked tiny for 220 grand large or whatever I want somethiggn a lot better, liked the green SS ute / panelvan with the mattress in the back hehehe. Ford GT and GTp looked great also seemed to be very poplular. Blood orange colour looked great I thought.. Ford staff were very helpful and keen and eager to please also. HSV cars were all locked which I thought was a bit rich esp as Ford were all open for every man and his dog, staff didn't seem to friendly either. the Nissan guy wouldn't leave me alone after started talking about the 350z, same with the mazda guy and the RX8. Seems Holden don't want to sell you a car. Even the Audi guy was happy to chat about many oo the cars also even opened up the RS6 for a quick look. BMW people seemed a bit snooty though. SAAB sales guy and girls wouldn't let me go without giving me all these brochures and a test drive heheh.

last stop went on the 4wd test track pretty small but well done for the area. Two very steep hills and descents and some other rocky and stone bits and a tilting seesaw ramp as well. One bit where the car balances on two wheels left and right momentarily as well. Went in a new pajero which was very impressive quiet and smooth and did it with ease, not bad for a family truckster. They also had the new Prado there, Hyundai Terrible Can and new landcuriser 100 series and Patrol I think.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
