Looking forward to it in 18 hours. Even though i need to drive from Caringbah to Smithfield in peak hour but, I am still going to love it.

Haha so was it worth it?? I think it was!!!!

Tha ks alot for everyone who put in time for tonight and hope to see many more to come.

Probly looking at buying Tyres with some spare cha ge. Better not go to to many tech nights or I'll turn my car I to a rocket without still learning how to drive it!!

Ah well hopefully these Tyres will aid that :)

A hge thanks to Mick and the team at NTW for putting on an excellent night (not to mention beer and food).

It was a great turn out as well, the place was pretty much full with over 35 people along to check out what was happening.

I though it was a good mix of information on how tyrs work, how to maintain them, and how to bag out commodore drivers. The highlight for me was learning from Mick that "when the steel belts are sparking, it's probably time to change tyre". That and that Neil adn Charles both remember whitewall, bias-ply tyres.

The next night is on 19 October at Wholesale suspension in Penrith, I'm sure a thread will be up soon

Jarrad, the excellent deals on federal tyres from these guys are still on over here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/231342-special-deals-on-federal-tyres

Sean's car was nearly taken out by an errant taxi on the way home.

I only remember how flammable tyres could be. :domokun:

NTW had heaps of staff on just for us! > Chuffed !

So again, many thanks to Mick and all of the guys really!

Dave is at work on Tech Night #2 Thread at "Wholesale Suspension - Penrith" Wed Night 19th Oct as Duncan says!!! :thumbsup:

What do you mean remember - my 1951 Peugeot 203 still has these fitted to it on a set of 16 x 4 factory rims.

This was an informative night with a number of questions answered both during the presentation and the subsequent discussions.

Yeah, the taxi driver thinking that 2 lanes turning at the lights, means that both are his....grrr!!

Was a great night otherwise, great turn out and presentation. Would of been there earlier but was fixing Dave's new clutch!

Thanks Duncan and thankyou to everyone who attended!

I can speak for all of the NTW team when I say that you guys were a great crowd and we would be happy to have everyone attend another night similar to this one (especially those who couldn't make it this time) sometime in the not too distant future.

I hope that everyone who came now has a little more knowledge on tyres and how to get the best out of them!

Cheers, :cheers:

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
