sorry guys, but im going to have to bail tonight. i've been ill the past 2 days, so i wont be able to make it. have fun....
is it the giving up smoking sickness?? :wave: hope it doesnt last as long as mine :devil:

well i have no idea where this carpark is so i might just try for a normal spot..

or I dont suppose anyone's going down the parkway from tuggers who I can follow??

slither I think it would be fine since there's a few no shows.

Hey Shell,

Me and Cassi will be going down the parkway so we can meet you say at Kambah servo if you want and you can follow? Ill PM you my number and you can call if you want and we will suss something out.

And leigh.... well im already drunk but not bailing... as long as Zeffs has alcohol... mmmm alcohol

Slither: There was a couple of extra seats booked in case from memory, and a few people dropped out so I dont think it will be a problem... and if you do come say hi to the giant, keen to meet the guy who owns the red skyline parked in the driveway just around the corner from my house.

Mick and I are still coming, and for those of you that know James & Jeremy who aren't on the forum, they're coming along too (at the moment :devil:)

EDIT - Hold on, Jai Jai if you organised it and you can't go, then you should probably tell someone what name the booking is under.....

In the spirit of Melbourne Cup;E and me are last minute scratchings-something rather nasty has come up(no 'rash again?' jokes,you lot!). Must be dealt with,or the resulting headaches if we don't stop this problem in it's tracks will be dire(as is,said problem just added an extra year to my GT-R's rebuild,if that tells you how serious it's gotten!)

Was good to see and meet everyone was a good night all round :laugh:, shaun all i can say is i love your car so much more lol

Also was good to see you Shell since you've been hiding!! Thanks again for the present :P

muahahahahh beat you :P (just got your message!!) :laugh:

i better have my line back for the next event, skyline skyline skyline skyline merc.........skyline

edit: not a bad turnout aswell, food seemed ok, cept for veilside33's steak which was so undercooked i think it was still mooing.

Edited by Style32

Was great to get to spend an evening with such a great group of people.

Thanks guys.

P.S. I have not keeled over from the steak yet so food poisoning will hopefully not be an issue.

It was the worst steak I've ever eaten and will not be going back though.

Yeah was good to meet some SAU people. pizza was goood too :(

it was also gool to see 13 skylines in a row. When I got back to the cars thare was a dude taking photos.

I still think we need name tags. you might feel ghey but at least you get to remember who you are talking to.

Was a good night and to meet some of the newer ppl on here and some of those that have been in hiding, shell thanks for helping out with the bill, I still dont know how i ended up with the job of taking everyones money....

Cass and Shell (Shell cause she stole everyones money from dinner lol) let me know if you want some help with organising the Christmas Cruise.

Leigh what happen to you one minute you were there then poof gone?

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • 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.
