Well done to all who attended.

Was great going away for such an event with a bunch of good guys (and gals). Award for "Great Sport" goes to Luke for putting up with the cruelty we did to that poor lad at such a weak (and heavily drunken) moment. :( I think a few of us had some "the night before" grogginess.

I'm stuffed. I'll say more later, but right now I want beer, and movie, and then going to crash! Lack of sleep thanks to a good reason to stay out late drinking. :)

no pics of me shall be posted haha

Ive already seen a few lol (and heard the story - well atleast some of it haha)

On another note, it was a great day, and it was good to meet you Ryan, Cara and Stewart. Apologies if I missed anyone! Next time I will enter for sure.

Also congratulations to Cara and SteveP for the awards!

And Ruby, sorry for going past you on Port Wakefield Road but that blue Territory we overtook suddenly decided it had the need for speed and I couldnt see the front of it in my rear vision mirror :)

Shame on Steve for upsetting a "real" 4WD entrant :) But I'm sure the guy has had a dose of HTFU by now.

And congrats Cara!

Dion, I saw that blue Territory sitting right up your arse! You shoulda given him some flames :( There were some real impatient drivers on the way home. See that small car (forgotten make) doing over 160kph in the rain!!!!! :)

LOL I shoulda flamed him hey.

Yes I saw that car. It was one of the relatively new Suzuki Swifts, too bad if he/she had to stop in a hurry...

Thank you to everyone that was part of the display today, you all did a good job and was an awesome weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Martin for taking out 2nd place in Best Car Club Vehicle

and SteveP for taking out Best AWD with this magna :P lol

and me for getting 2nd in Best Lady Owned Car and 2nd in Best Other Make/Model

was definelty a good saturday night thats for sure. one to be remembered

Luke whats that on your face?? :P

Ill post some pics up soon - just going thru them now

once again guys thanks very muhc for all your effort and support!!! :thumbsup:

nice meeting you ryan, dion and craig aswell :laugh:

haha luke, yes, there will be pics. but was all in good fun. btw, where did u get ur air guitar, i want one :thumbsup:

lol as if that dude came up to me as about getting best 4wd. technically mine qualified, and his was a dead stock hyundai or something, oh well.

anyway good weekend, gota do it again at the next car show (berri i think it is).

didnt get many pics, but somehow this ended up on my phone.

What's that on luke's face you say??..... that would be a penis!! I love the way you dance! :thumbsup:

I've only just gotten feeling back in my fingers and my nose.... i have nice rosy check due to wind burn lol!

    • 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.
