I think I speak for all ACT SAU when I say we sincerely appreciate your huge effort in organisng this event. :thumbsup:

You have provided the opportunity and what happens next is up to the individuals.

There are very few on here, including me, that organise and make events happen in the ACT - so thanks heaps.

If by chance peeps dont enjoy themselfs then it will be on them.

I for one wont listen to any bitching.

See you all tomorrow and dont forget to bring a chair or two.

:thanks: Ross, Cejay and all others who have been involved in helping.

What a Great Event!! A HUGE THANKS :thanks: and CONGRATS to all those from all sides who organised and sponsored todays event. I was very glad and surprised to see that all 30 spots were filled. Not only that, but 28 of the 30 vehicles were both of Nissan's and Toyota's with only 2 other 'outsiders' competing :whistling: Was also a fairly even spread of numbers between the 2 makes. Although I left halfway through the day, I'm guessing the rest of the day went off without a hitch? No mechanical failures? Can't wait to see the full list of dyno results and prize winners...

Based on only seeing the 1st half of the day, this would be a fantastic anual event. I don't mean randomly having one whenever someone can be bothered organising it, I mean to make it an 'official event' held in the same month every year. I know this means that dedication will be required by a few people every year to organise it, but going on how sucessfull todays event was, it would be well worth it. It also shouldn't fall to the same people every year to organise it, unless they are happy too of course. I'll put my hand up already to help out for next year if it happens again...

You know you've done something right when a Ford owner by choice is this keen about a JDM event!!!

The boys at ESP did a great job with the Dyno, Celica guys did well on the snags/drinks at an awesome price and are a good crew.

Kat not only did well singing us in but her GTR had very good figures and more to come.

Pesonally I thought Toyota's and Nissan's were impressive accross the board. Some very nice cars showed up.

son of rajab Vader bought the averages down :( but the crowd cheered heartedly when it just topped over the 100 killer wasps on the final run :D

Well organised & well run.

:thanks:

I would be more than happy to help again this time next year :)

So im still not quite defrosted after today haha.

Thanks to everyone who was involved in organizing the day, ESP for their services and the celica guys for the bbq!

Was stoked with how my car went, got 40kw more than i expected lol. (was the black r32 that wanted to stall on the dyno)

Will definately be at the next one!

Thanks to everyone that turned up today to make it such a good day. I have to say thanks to Kat and Nathan for making the day run so smooth.

I'm now off to straighten my back out and hopefully watch Webber win an F1 race this year...

Thanks again and catch you all at the next outing, motorkhana, Temora, WSID ?? maybe in that order... ;)

Hey guys,

Thanks for organising a great day. This is very different from your usual Sydney Dyno days. Nice small and cosy lol.....too damn cold but.

Thanks for letting me be the 31st man (My fault for coming late!) but it was good to meet some new people.

Happy to say this....well done to the Toyotas for winning the event hehe.

Thanks for making the effort to come down! Your car looked and sounded awesome!! :)

I nudge closer and closer every year, will just say at least I drove home on the boost I ran on the rollers and I'll let the 1/4 mile results do the rest of the talking :nyaanyaa:

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
