Still waiting man... I dont want to rush them, i know they have it under control... I am just so keen now that i know its close!!! The head never came off ;)

Maybe the Charlestown idea isnt that bad then, then maybe a quick cruise around Warners Bay or something?

There would be a few cars tagging along with me....... IF i ever have my car :P

This is the place - http://www.mattara.com.au/

ahh yea i know that one, yea that has a massive carpark behind it next to the cinemas etc.. would be a good spot i think, we wouldnt take up the whole place and cause any unwanted attention.. i think thats a goer mate, i like it..

anyone else have any objections or other ideas?

nice, sitting, beer in hand whilst oogling skylines... nice afternoon that...

Perfect :D i am keen to check out your CF parts!!

isn't that the place down the road from the police station?

Its tucked away, its right near the big shopping centre, the police station is over the back near maccas i think? Either way, we will not be attracting any unwanted attention so it should be fine :)

not sure where the police station is to be honest...

seems to be ticking all the boxes though... might need to start looking at dates / times etc.

what suits people?

The only delay for me is the car and not knowing when itll be ready, but you guys start making a time and even if i dont have it ill make an appearance anyway! BUT fingers crossed i have it!

All sounds goodto me, make it an event?

Not sure if we should make it an event until we get more feedback from others? i THINK the date is OK but am generally useless with double booking things so i will check, but i think once we all agree we can make it an event so that others can see and attend if they like :yes:

Yea thats sounds like a plan...

lets sit on it to see how things go then make it event next week or something.

Where you from man? We will make a plan that suits as many as possible, it's not gunna suit everyone as its not a perfect world, but hey, we have the ball rolling so let's keep it up ;)

AND if I'm gunna make a PAC cruise, your gunna make a Stockton meet! Deal? :P

im from the coast doyalson area but id come up on the weekend for lunch at the mattara if it goes ahead.ill come to a stoko meet if its a weekend

Also post up if your interested in a feed there for lunch? or just an arvo beer etc...

i reckon a feed sounds like the go, just a casual lunch and beer into the arvo then go for a quick drive somewhere?

Oh good stuff, well the Mattara meet is pretty easy for ya then... And stoko meets will happen on a semi regular basis once we are all sorted, i will organise with you guys once my car is back..... It will just be a casual SAU thing, no need for official meets etc

Yea sounds like a good plan... hopefully get a half decent turnout. newcastle is a fairly large place, would think there would be quite a few people on SAU keen to get amongst it??

There are plenty of cars up here but not sure how many SAUers..... All the guys i met up here were through HT.net or NS or whatever its called now, i havent logged in there for years......

It may take time before the SAU_Newy thing catches on but i think its an awesome idea and have been looking forward to it for ages now ;)

Just read the plan. Sounds awesome.

I'm off work that weekend, so i should be around

Good stuff, we will probably wait a while before posting as an actual event, but i think the plan should work pretty well! So far SAU Newy will be repping the 34's :D

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
