Most happen in the Vic Members section, away from public eyes. Although i dont see what stops a crim signing up to sau-vic :P

To all theives out there, there is no meet, go back to looking on ns.com :w00t:

Edit:

The multi-level carpark has cameras and security staff.

When i was with ozhonda, on the top level, security staff kept walking around keeping an eye out. Also when i returned back to my car alone, a security personell popped out to see what I was doing.

Hope that helps :O

y not just use monash uni - meet n greet the first time. Then see how things go from there.

maybe best to choose a weekday? Wed/Thurs night. Saturday night + shops + crowd may be a prob.

sat night is a def no no - some idiot reversed into my dads car when i parked there - ever seen a little curry just pop a vein for no reason - thats what happened when i saw the damaged bumper bar. And some other stupid punks put milkshake over his new accord euro.

Are non-nissans welcome?

if you don't talk about VTEC we won't bite :P

I might be in as well though whatever location it is, gotta have an our door area so i can have a smoke :O.

Pescare has an outdoor area

not a member yet so thats why i posted in here. will be soon though..i hope. lol.

ok sounds like thursday night has also got a few supporters. how bout thursady night we meet at the top of the car park at say 7.30. just to check out each other's rides and have a chat. we can decide how many of us wanna stay and maybe get food or whatever at the meet.

y dont we head over to the sofias on burwood highway after? they have large windows facing their car park. should solve the security prob. dunno how many people want dinner versus just coffee though. i know i'll be hungry

Are non-nissans welcome?

No. if you dont have a black series one r33 made in may 1995 that has had no mods done to it (yet) and has a large scratch on the drivers side door then you cant come. sorry

:P:O kidding! everybody's welcome dude

Edited by Basti

well the j-spec crew usually have poker nights on thursday nights... i could try n convince em to come get dinner instead at Sofia's or wherever on thursday night and whoever wants to come join us is more than welcome to.

lol ozhonda... I grew up with wynode... went to school with him n stuff... is he still running that forum?

Could we make it this thursday 11th? instead of the 18th. Seems pointless to wait 2 weeks if its just a small meet :(

oops wrong date. wanted the coming thursday but read the calendar wrong. the 11th it is. 1st post edited accordingly

you got the euro right? my friend has a blue one of those - the ride is freaking smooth as - almost fell asleep in the seat on the way back from some pub

Cheers, yeah it's a very smooth ride, easy to fall asleep in too. It's great compared to my usual drive (EF fairmont) where I'd be constantly trying to work out where all those rattling noises come from..

if you don't talk about VTEC we won't bite :)

It'll be either VTEC or Ford's superomg SOHC!

:(:) kidding! everybody's welcome dude

Guess I'll just have to find one then :P Jokes

Found out that I have cousins from Sydney coming down on Tuesday, might bring them along then head off after the meet :)

ok so whats happening? lol i hear glenny and sofias. sofias idea is great cos the food is cheap lol and cars are visable from the large windows.

so is it mettup at glenny then go down to sofias on burwood highway?

another suggestion could be, that we could meet up at burwood shops where that 24/7 Kmart is quite a large carpark, doubt it would be busy on a thursday night? then go to sofas for some grub?

Up to you guys, i dont really care, everythings local.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
