This Event will be up for discussion at the Exec meeting tomorrow.

Likely start will be at Top Secret Imports

Likely finish will be at Cordeaux Dam (after doing a recon 3 days ago) unless Bargo has something more spectacular to offer Raf.

Likely dates are Oct 2nd or Oct 16th. The SAU "LINE" Newsletter (out yesterday) states it's on Oct 2nd.

SAU is likely to be running a Suspension/Brake Tech night on Wed 19th & NATS is on the 29th. So hopefully there's no conflict.

Comments welcomed? Bring them along to the Organisers Meeting?

Would some of you like to have an Organisers' Meeting on Sunday 17th July at Top Secret Imports via Maccas lunch further up Sunnyholt Rd?

Hopefully you guys choose the 16th as the date, (as I will be overseas till 11th) and with the grand final on the 2nd I think it will impact the numbers turning up.

As for the organisers meeting, I'm happy to assist if the event goes ahead on the 16th oct, but as the 17th is the Mrs' birthday, I've got no chance of making it.

Terry, I like the sounds of the proposed finish point, haven't been there in years. Looking forward to it!

Not available for the organisers meeting, but if volunteers are required, let me know if I can assist.

Cheers, Dale

SAU Meeting - yes it's Official > Oct 2nd to help accommodate anyone who's coming from interstate on a long weekend.

Organisers' Meeting will be on July 17th after meeting up at Kings Pk Maccas at 1pm > Top Secret Imp conference room.

Please come along and help construct something to remember!

And thanks to you guys for volunteering on the days ahead!

BTW, anyone who is thinking of prioritising the NRL Grand Final Vs The Stagea 15th Anniv,

1) TSI as sponsors will be offering prizes on the day - for Best **** Categories to be announced by Head Organiser Nick

2) The Grand Final Result is Melb Storm 13 beat St George 12. So now you know the result, you only need to place bets...

Hoping that the dates change, the 1st and 2nd Oct is AFL/NRL grandfinal weekend... I love my cars but footy grandfinal weekend will always win.

I'll keep an eye out and hopefully the date is moved to the 16th so I can make the drive down from Brisbane.

We now have TWO WINS!!!!

1) Top Secret Imports is sponsoring this event!!! :banana:

2) Performance Imports Magazine will be covering this event!!! :banana:

...as confirmed by Chief Editor, Jason Round to-day.

C'mon people, there is a meeting this Sunday afternoon (around lunch-time) for those who have ideas to contribute to what we can do to make this an awesome event. If you cannot make it out there and you have ideas, feel free to add them to this thread or send a PM to either Terry or myself.

:D

Organisers (if you'd like to be one), our meeting is definitely on this Sunday at Top Secret Imports HQ at 1.30pm - Forge St Blacktown.

Prior to that, we're having a 12.30 lunch at Maccas Kings Park - up the road a bit.

We're open to any input - and I'm really looking forward to an article purely based on a whole raft of Stageas in "Performance Imports"

Did you know that Jason Round Chief Editor of PI Mag gave your Stageas preference for an article over the R35 5th Anniversary next year?

Well-well-well!!! :rolleyes:

I'm a bit late reading about this, but sounds like a great event & would like to come down for it.

Point to note: the October long weekend will mean double demerit points, so everyone will have to be very alert when travelling :ermm: .

    • 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!
