Hey people,

Terry (one of the Execs for SAU-NSW) has put on a few excellent events in the past, including cruises for the 10th Anniversary of the R34 and 21st Anniversary of the R32, amongst quite a bit of other stuff.

Previous events have included media coverage on Motive DVD and in PI (or HPI or whatever it is now) magazine, as well as a few articles in the motoring sections of Sydney newspapers.

Basically Terry and myself would like to know how many people would be interested in having an event for the 15th Anniversary of the Stagea. It will be NSW-based, but everyone who can make it will be more than welcome to come along.

So, throw some ideas around and we'll see if we can get the ball rolling!

count me in and make it a sunday ;) thats my day off a week.

and for gods sake, dont host it out back of west sydney or anything (penrith or blacktown area), make it a nice cruise to somewhere nice, like a sydney to canberra or small-medium cruise like sydney to wollongong.

How would this sound as a proposal?... :action-smiley-069:

Date:- Sunday 2nd October on the long weekend (but a week before Bathurst races). It's also the 1st day of Daylight Saving.

Time:- 10am > Leave at 11am

Meetup:- Top Secret Imports 36 Forge St Blacktown with only Stageas lined up along the outside of the sweeper up to Top Secret itself, for photography purposes

Sponsorship:- Top Secret Imports (but they're only discussing it at this moment - but plans can be changed if we're rejected)

Destination:- West Head at the end of West Head Rd, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Pk.

Overview:- West Head Rd is newly laid out hotmix tar, with a great lookout at the end. Electric BBQs.

It would be busy there on a long weekend with parking spots along that stretch.

UHF radios are an advantage so that we can gradually fill up the carpark at the end in due course.

Other ideas are welcome!

I've got to laugh about Cordeaux Dam...

When I was 17 and Treasurer of a different organisation, I set up a mystery tour to Cordeaux. It's a great spot!

Yes, let's consider that one too.

If we get a sponsor, then they might offer collateral for prizes. If I had a Stag - a powered up Stag - or a great looking Stag; I wouldn't knock back a prize/trophy.

Will consider Homebush Bay.

Will need to do a Recon anyway.

Thanks for offering help Nick, Ben, Dale, Ryan :thumbsup:

Queenslander

I would be keen for this to drive down for the weekend

I am sure we could get some more from this side of the border

(any free accommodation available??...hmmm last weekend of school holidays in Qld as well)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
