If you mean 'Place' as in 'Destination', there is one 'Standout Place' for a Nissan man !!!

Try "Trackside, La Porchetta Restaurant" cnr Manns Rd and Gt Western Hwy on the left hand side as you come in from Sydney (from Old Pac Hwy)

The WHOLE DECOR is DEDICATED TO NISSAN !!!!!!!! Cars in inside are NISSAN incl. the R31 Touring Race Car, 1991 TOURING CAR CHAMP TROPHY WON MY NISSAN, MURALS OF Richards, Gibson, Skaife etc are ALL NISSAN. Even the Men's toilet have photos blown up of the start of '91 Bathurst are Nissan. Don't ask me what's in the Ladies' !!

Has anyone been there? It's owned by Terry Ashton - Committee Member of Touring Car A, and Touring Car C. He'll be pleased for you guys to go there!

If you mean 'Drive', I can only assume sections of tarmac that are relatively free of intersections, driveways and police cars hidden behind bushes and under rocks!

i) Macquarie Pass

ii) Old Pacific Hwy

iii) Jamberoo Pass Rd

iv) Kangaroo Valley Rd

v) Cambewarra Mtn Rd

vi) Hawkesbury Heights

Bells Line Of Road used to be #iii) but has been scrubbed for one of those reasons above...

Cheers, Terry

^^^ Oh I forgot! The restaurant is at Gosford!

And oh yeah, the food is good! Hot Stone stuff there is recommended!

Can one of the ladies tell us if there's Nissan paraphernalia in the ladies??

Shouldn't that be the corner of Manns Rd and Central Coast Highway, West Gosford, Terry? Pfft, 'sif own the place and not know where it is... :down:

Actually, I had dinner there tonight with a few fellow SAU members - and it was good. Next time I'm there I'll have to try the Hot Stone steaks...

Nick, I think it's a different Terry :D

Yes we had our SAU AGM there one year. Terry was a member of the club. I don't remember about the ladies toilets, sorry :down:

Sorry, half asleep when I wrote that post. At least my car knows where to go...

Hi M,

Thanks for feedback...

Yes, I'm a different Terry to the T.A. in Qld

My NSW Member application will be in this week.

And BTW I posted my views about 'Warn Rates' thread under 'Ideas/Feedback & Bugs' Section earlier this morning. Hope that defuses some heat!

Regards,

T

hahahaha, my bad... Maybe I should follow my own rule of "do not make assumptions!"

Oh well, no harm done, at least!

Favourite place in Sydney? Does 2 hours out of Sydney count? :D

It would have to be the drive up the Old Pac Hwy to the Hunter Valley with the top down and heated seats on :D Then when we arrive, head into the old rustic cottage that we've rented for the weekend, plonk the bags down, go out wine tasting for the afternoon... Come back to the cottage, get a nice fire going, cook a hearty roast dinner, drink a bottle or three of Hunter Shiraz, and then curl up in front of the roaring fire.

Bliss.

Or renting a similar rustic cottage in the Blue Mountains, waking up early going for a nice walk one of the countless bush trails just after sunrise in the crisp air :D

I thought it was Terry Ashwood :D

lol what did you guys think... that he likes talking about himself in the third person?? haha

I know quite a few people who like to do that, so why not?

WHAT? Alter-ego? Yeh why not?

Alter-ego Terry Ashwood drumming up business for himself eh?

Still a great place to go; getting back to the original thread. DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE THREAD!!!

Cheers,

Terry

1) My warm bed mmmmmmmmmm... bed.......

2) Blue Mountains. Either going for little cruise, or going for a bit of an adventure through the national parks. Lunch at Katoomba is nice too, just wear a scarf!

3) National Park cruise down to Stanwell Tops.

4) Back in my bed. Especially when it's cold outside :sleep:

*sleeps*

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
