At least the cops were good about it, came & spoke to us politely & explained that it was the museum security that had complained.

The hurry up from the pursuit car was a nice touch though :laugh:

I also had a suggestion, but it's a bit out of the way - the carpark under Harvey Norman Fyshwick is usually lit at night, and undercover, so safe from rain and stuff. I noticed it once & it kinda looked like a good place for a meet.

I was kinda thinking about going for a bit of a drive on Friday night to scout out a new place closer to Civic.

Well if Harvey Norman is under cover, which I recall it being, then it might be a good start. Not sure if it's open after they shut the place though. Plus I'm not 100% sure on the entry into that place for lower cars.

I'll be out tomorrow night.

Hey everyone

I'm back in town for the weekend and at this point planning to come out tonight I'm look forward to seeing everyone :thumbsup:

p.s THAT MEANS PPL BETTER BE OUT AND ABOUT!!! :P

Did anyone recce' H.N.'s at Fyshwick for night time meeting point? Fully agree that driveway entry needs to be handled with great care... But a 'wide angle' to get in or out at night in Fyshwick ( stop it right now, those with dirty minds...) wont be a prob' as there's minimal traffic....

Any other ideas for a new location?

PM me if there is a goer: wouldn't want NS.com or the Commonwhore crew to find out and reck it for us again...

The Mueseum has always been a car meet spot, not just for SAU but for most car clubs in Canberra. It's well known that vehicular activity occurs there on cruise nights/days.

Just a bummer that it's the general SAU site as well.

Hello,

Are you able to provide examples of when and where the NissanSilvia 'crew' has recked it for you / SAU please?

Thanks.

Thanks.

To answer your question... read the rest of the comments.

Yeah ns.com guys are good, they don't do stupid things.
Thank you Michele, but I did read that along with Dragon_Silvia's comments. :ermm:

However I want to hear an answer from LTSJayce thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm someone that has been around for ages, and have had mostly good things happen when it comes to car clubs. However, every clubs seems to have rogue members, and periods where everything comes off the rails. Rexnet, Canberra Cruisers, Nissan Silvia.com, RS Liberty, RE ACT ,and even us here at SAU plus many more clubs have had moments of less than perfect judgement. I have had good dealings with the NS.com crew(I was having good chats with three of the lads whilst standing next to the R35 on Friday night; one was a NS.com member who had just had their car towed for second offence on burnouts... but he seemed remorseful enough). Hell knows I'm not a perfect angel.

You ask for examples of when and where NS members have wrecked it for me or SAU? I can't talk for SAU, only myself, but without bringing up old issues, and I'm NOT getting into the 'us vs. them' debate, how's January 2002 Braddon, October and December 2003 Northbourne Ave, Feb' 04, London Circuit, July 06 Kingston....and the memories go on. Please note this isn't a website upsetting me; only some of its members. Does that answer your question? A straight yes or no will suffice. You've been around SAU since at least 2005; you'll appreciated my views weren't formed overnight. Also remember that if it's not on the internet, things do occur. There are a few more times that come to mind, but I would rather remember the good cruises and shows I've done with all of the guys over the years. I guess, in hindsight, my comment may've come off as a little bit biased or even petty. It wasn't intended as such, so apologies to the NS.com crew that may feel hard done by. I stand by my experiences, and can only think I should've added all possible clubs into my statement to keep the mix appropriate. Thankyou for your question. Shall we all move on and get back to Skyline discussion?

Now, back to the problem at hand of finding somewhere more appropriate for SAU to gather without being harassed...

The H.N. idea sounds a good 'un. Anyone else got some ideas? I thought I had a good place worked out, but after having a good look on Friday morning, it's a thumbs down for too many reasons. So, we're back to square one.

Locations, people?

The Harvey Norman Security wont let you. One of em got up me the other day, cos i walked through theyre driveway after checking a warehouse next door and im a security guard!! A large meeting of cars in Fyshwick on a Friday night, will attract most Security attention and then police.

A friend of mine has just bought the Subway franchise at the airport servo, perhaps we could meet there, maybe not this friday night, but in the next couple of weeks.

scott

i was at that servo the otherday, only looked like 10 car parks ??? is there any around the back or something like that ???? plus what would you think about the big carparks further round the corner from there they look big and open and proberlly not attract undue attention????

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
