Hey Tex,

How you been?

We are hoping for about 50 cars.

confirmed the R31 Gibson car will be along, and spoke to Terry Ashwood today, he is quite interested in the club and the show and shine.

I've been good Dan, no complaints. :) Got me some Jap turbo lovin' now too, and I'm liking it. :) Expect I'll be seeing a bit more of you all again very soon (heh sorry all :)).

Thanks for the info, shall keep it in mind and will obviously confirm one way or another closer to the date.

Yeah the line project is going well so far. It's amazing how hindsight works and how you do things differently the 2nd time around (after wasting lotsa $$ making the wrong decisions the first time - you live and learn though)

I just lurve Cosmo's - the got all the curves ! yeah baby !

Good to hear from you mate !

Ok Guys, I just heard yesterday that we Now have our CAMS Approval... we will also have 2/3 Gibson cars that will include the Winfield GTR and I believe that Race works... a race team from our very own members will be entering also... now what we need as a HGE bunch of Cars, doesn't matter the condition and we will have a HUGE (sorry dundan... needed to add the U to highlight just how big this event can be) event up on the Central Coast in March... so get your entries in ASAP...

Also on offer is a $150 gift voucher from GCG Turbo's for the winner of Best Engine... and there will be other category prizes shortly!

Hi Sonic,

Mingara is the 9th biggest club in NSW - It has a huge outdoor area, grass, BBQs, etc - all available to SAU-NSW for the day.

It is a leisurely cruise from Syndey and no doubt there will be a few organised for the day.

There is heaps of accomodation around the area - some of us are going to make a weekend of it ! :alcoholic

Mingara have promoted the S&S in their newsletter which goes to 75,000 central coast residents.

What more do you need - It's a perfect location !

Hope to see you there !

Cheers,;)

Yeah... you know you want to be a Show and shine Buster!!! I'll even run you a few times at the lights if it'll help!!! (to the speed limit of course :D)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
