Second post in here for me, but I had top say this again. You guys did an amazing job of keeping everything on track, and ensuring the night was entertaining. It is by far the best SAU meet I have EVER been to. The guys in SA set the bench mark pretty high for a great club full of terrific guys and gals who are plain just passionate about their cars, you guys met that benchmark.

Sincerely hoping you can all be involved as a team with CSA to get SkyNats 2012 the same sort of hit the SA guys made 2010.

Well done for an amazing, entertaining and informative night.

Every time I see JIm, he has a different story, and is there anyone more diplomatic than Him? I don't think so.

Food was amazing, service by the Trackside staff was even better. Looking forward to the next one you guys run.

This was a great night and I would like to thank the committee for organising such a good event - well done.

The venue and atmosphere was good and even driving up from Wollongong was not a problem. I will be definitely be attending any future events at this resturant.

And sorry Chubs for not recognising you with your new hair colour.....

On behalf of the Rotary Enthusiast of NSW, I would like to thank everyone involved from SAU (NSW) for organising this event and in particular, Stevo (N1GTR) for inviting us.

Our members have not stopped raving how good this night was. Brilliantly organised and ran like clockwork!

I too could have listened to Jim and Alan - even Terry, all night!

Thanks again.

Howdy guys!

Firstly, sorry for the loooooooooooooong delay uploading the photos from the night. I've been pretty busy moving to a brand new home, for some reason most of the hours of my days and nights have vanished! The photos are being uploaded tonight. So check back later for a linky!

thanks again to the organisers, Jim, Alan, Terry and everyone else involved :D

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
