AutoSalon 2004 - less than 2-months to go...


Recommended Posts

I typed a big post before... but it logged me out.

Anyhow.

R34 GTR wheels will fit my car if R32 GTR wheels still dont sit out enough :O

and R33-t wheels dont even fit on my car due the offset.

But as for everything else... Good ideas coming out here.

Dont forget that this wont all come cheaply.

Last year (as some may not know) there was a bit of a hand from the guys at BMT to get us, and our stand to MAS.

Just remember in your ideas, to try think costs, and economy.

I dunno if a joint stand will occur at this stage, but if it does not... then we will have to think very smart.

While i sound like a poo etc etc... these things need to be remembered.

Other than that, any idea is a good idea!

And if we can 'borrow' things from here and there for the weekend, it'll work in our favour.

I think we all learnt a lot from last year that should make this year a SH(T load better in planning and execution (remember the t-shirts)

But yeah. I've got no ideas at the current. But if i think of something... then it'll get posted :zap:

as a question guys, what do we have left from last yrs event that we can salvage for this yrs?

also i think that if someone can look into getting prices for hiring fencing (or whateva its called), prices for t shirts / banners and associated items we might be able to get the ball rolling

basically nowadays, if someone brings me one for a mod, or a repair, i just say to the ppl that want mods, $450, they ask why i say $300 for a new PS2, $150 for the chip :) for those that want a repair i quote $300, flat rate, they ask why, you guessed it :)

lol narky, the older the model of PS2, the shitter the design of the laser and motherboard, nothing to brag about, the most current one u get in the shops however, is WAY ahead of the others, like WAY ahead...

pft! mine is like a 30002, one of the first ones. Since then haven't had ONE problem, still working fine chipped and all. Fired up GT3 the other day .. built a nice s13 drift racer.. man that game rocks!

gt4.. drools.. then drools some more, then wipes drool and drools a little more.

i was talking about the GT3 game f00!

I have about 45min of skid-pan footage

Also have about 1000 pics that can be put on a cd and played via a DVD player or computer (better image res. on computer)

Keen to play a part in this show, including entering my car.

Those t-shirts were my curse last year...

Myabe this time we do just one design - even I can't screw that up :P

I still have the big BF Goodrich R34 banner and all the PS2 link hardware.

Investigating some light-truss towers.

Ula - would love to have your car!

Fencing... can be 'borrowed' possibily :P

Heh - I don't know what you mean...

Maybe a meeting next week for people who want to be involved?

Pizza and drinks to talk about ideas?

Depending on the dvd player the jpeg's load up real slow.

I have my 119cm widescreen tv, but i aint to keen lugging that 60kg thing around.

There are a number of oportunities coming up to get more footage if we want to make a dvd.

We have the GOR cruise coming up.

Another skidpan weekend coming up

I have track days this weekend and mid march

Al was looking at a DECA day/weekend before the end of March

There will be skylines at the Drift Nationals

Im SURE we can arrange a day/night at Heathcote/Calder

Other day or night cruises can be arranged with short notice.

If someone has the facilities to take footage then Im sure we can make a pretty kick ass mixed dvd without too many problems.

James mentioned the idea of a racing theme - theme's are good in my opinion. As a slight variance to a racing theme could be a general motorsport theme including circuit, drag and drift. Show the versitility of the skyline as the ultimate motor sports car.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • 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!
