Thats cool mate, family first...

Would like to get another Stag to replace MrRS4.. preferably an RS260, any volunteers ?

Does anyone have an early (1970's) GTR and want to enter ?

She is due on the 23rd of nov so anything can really happen between then and the date i was going to go and leave her down here. But then there is that possibility i would have to leave and break a bit of law on the way home to get home so quick.

Its all good, the health of your wife/child is more important than the show :) You're always welcome to come incase you can find other arrangements, and I'm sure we'll get another person to come so dont stress :(

Just got off the phone from another tent company which Shane pmmed me about last night, this one is based in the riverland and will already be at the loxton oval with other tents. For a 4.5 x 4.5 mt tent (which will fit 22 people and a trestle table) the cost would be $270. obviously this is a bit more than the place based on adelaide, however the benefit is a) pete doesnt have to haul it from adelaide and b) they will set the tent up and take it down for us - leaving us more time to work on the cars... it'd bump the group fee up to $20-$25 but I'm sure people would prefer to pay the extra $5 than have to worry about setting up a huge tent.

Everyone think this is ok?

Yep same.

I assume we are going to have to put in some $$ toward some form of decorating around the cars (like chequered flag runners or something?) .... so a 'participation fee' from SAU:SA is not unreasonable at all for everyone to be able to chill out and relax, and make our display kick-ass.

Are you still up typing reports like me Pete? :D

Maybe, maybe not. Cara has the nissan flags and the SAU banner, which I hope to get within the next couple of weeks so I can give them a good clean

Because the show is on an oval, we don't worry about flooring for the event - a nicely dressed car on lawn always looks good.

I'm getting my A3 display placard professionally printed and framed, which will cost around $120 which is a once off payment and can be used at other shows

I was also considering getting a bar towel with the GTR logo (http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/Nissan-Vintage-Classic-Skyline-Logo-Emblem-Sports-Towel-60090) or the beach towel (http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/NISMO-Logo-Beach-Towel-59900) and chucking a little 1:18 model on top, only problem is I'd be worried that someone would want to nick it :down: I'm also going to have a sticker or two from my mechanic, because he's been helping me out bigtime - if anyone wants to represent the people that work on their car, I'm fine with that (and its a cheap way to dress the car up and show your love to your mechanic/detailer/etc)

Towel and placard should be enough for myself, everyone is free to customize the display as they see fit. More nissan/skyline/gtr merchandise would be great though

I'm glad everyone is keen about this (and willing to contribute to the display). We have around 8-10 people confirmed so far, and I've sent messages to the last 4 to confirm their interest. I'll be at villis around 7pm tonight for a general brainstorm if anyone wants to come along.. I have some ideas which will make the display uber, but it all comes down to money and time

I'm happy to just park the Stagea on the lawn with a simple A3 list of details ... doors open and music pumping ... like at Kadina :down:

Cool Rubes, did you already have an A3 detail list made up or do you want assistance? I have basic photoshop skills but nowhere near Damo or Vu's ability

I should consider doing a placard for the bike, but I wouldn't know where to start nor have the tenacity or will at the moment.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
