Use this one guys :D

Overall, pretty dismal turnout for an awesome location. More so annoying I guess because so many people said the ole "i will come", only not to show face.

Especially when the NDSOC group could get a good 40 odd cars there for a member base that is probably half of what we have.

Otherwise for the cars that were there, it was an awesome day overall. I managed to get sunburnt, so the weather certainly was not terrible :)

Having the NDSOC (and other groups) made it really interesting with lots of carby equipped machinery in pristine condition to checkout.

Good to see a few people both new and old, given the amount of effort that went into organising this, it was overall a great result.

Big thanks to Ash and co. for organising the event. It was a great day, pitty about the turnout though :rolleyes: I guess the crappy weather the day before didn't help.

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one who got SUNBURNT. Imagine that on a day that was forecasted for rain!

As for the rainsayers, yesterday was further evidence that weather rarely lets down an SAU Vic event. I thought it was pretty perfect, overcast with not a drop of rain = shiny cars. Just a shame about the back of my neck, argh it stings! So yeah, pretty disappointing turnout given how many were keen to come at first. And I know the drive in, drive out times seem like an inconvenience...I used to think so too, but the day goes by really quickly and there's plenty of stuff to do at the docklands if you get bored of looking at cars. NDSOC certainly showed us up in the numbers department. They had some very pristine examples which were fun to look at. Still, SAU Vic represent...we still managed to cover some decent lawn and our cars looked pretty good.

lol @ NDSOC's choice of beverage. And lol @ the random who thought it was one of those motorshows where you can sit inside the nur-spec without asking the owner :rolleyes:

Scientist: [resigned] Well, Homer, I guess you're the winner by default.

Homer: Default? Woo hoo! The two sweetest words in the English language: de-fault! De-fault! De-fault!

[assistant clubs him]

Scientist: Where'd you get that, anyway?

Assistant: Sent away.

It was a great day overall cheers for everyone who put effort into organising this.

Despite the low attandance the cars that turned up were nice, especially the R34 GTR just mint! Just LOL big time at that dude that jumped into the passenger seat (wonder why not driver's seat instead). Funny he even closed the door... he might be thinking of taking a nap inside or something :rolleyes:.

And yea I got sunburnt too despite the overcast all day.

Hey all,

Had a nice and enjoyable day in relaxing way, huge thanks to Ash and organisers for securing the awesome location. NDSOC stand have some quite nice Datsuns especially Bronze 260Z.

Met some people and had good chat with some of you.

Pity not enough cars from our end, people do need to drink a cup of concrete and bring them to meets whether it's rain or shine and in right or wrong location/time/etc!

Don't like my chances of winning best R33 GTR as there's 4 others... But I have this awesome gearknob, that could help me win, probably.

Cheers

Grant

p.s. when will we know the results from voting?

The day was pretty good all things considered. NDSOC had heaps more cars there last year, even they were a little underwhelmed by the turnout.

CSA were there as well, we were promised 15-20 cars, and we got 7.

Anyone thinking of coming to this next year, but worried about what to do for 6 hours, apart from all being hopeless, there is heaps to do at Docklands, Cosco, plenty of shops, restaurants, so much to do. Get on it next year, it's a fantastic venue and location.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
