Sent this out on Wed night (has actually changed slightly, because we've now hit 400 entries lol - gonna be v tight...)


Please take the time to read this entire email – IT’S IMPORTANT.

We are just days away from AJD 2013, and I’m pleased to report it will be our biggest event ever – current count is at 370 entrants with many more still on the waiting list.

BUT, this means we have to tighten up in a few areas to make sure everyone is safe and has a good day.

  1. Have your paperwork filled out and ready. Think about how fast we have to get 370 cars on to the deck before the 10am cut-off! We will have two lanes operating – one express lane for people who have their paperwork all sorted, and one extremely slow one for people who have to wait and fill out their forms. If you turn up without your paperwork, you will be charged $5 for each form we have to provide. There are two forms, so in other words, have your 10 bucks ready if you’re not organised, otherwise we will turn you around and send you home.
  2. Trailers will not be allowed to park on the reserve. This is partly because we got warned by the council that any vehicles on the reserve that aren’t part of the event will get pinged heavily, and partly because we won’t have the space either way. There are a reasonable number of parallel parks nearby the reserve, but if you’re bringing a car down on a trailer, GET THERE EARLY. If you rock up with a trailer at 9:45am, expect to be in a world of pain finding a park.
  3. If you have entered, be there before 10am! Guys, it’s not that hard to get out of bed. Set your alarms if you have to. But if you don’t make it by 10am, expect to get turned away without a refund.
  4. Entries on the day. If you know of someone who was too damn lazy to fill out the form on the website and just thought they’d try their chances entering on the day, then there are a few things they need to know. Firstly, it is going to cost them $25, not $15, NO EXCEPTIONS. Secondly, we are not accepting any entries on the day before 10am. Once all the entrants are in, we can see if we have any space for entries on the day, but given the huge numbers, chances are pretty slim.
  5. No-one leaves before 3pm. This is a hard and fast rule, and it’s for the safety of the many hundreds of people who will be walking around checking out our cars. If you think you need to leave before that time, then make arrangements to borrow a mate’s car to go where you need to, or you won’t be able to enter the event. The entrance will be roped off and bollarded until that time. Once 3pm hits, I’ll blow an air horn and you can leave any time after that. I know we’ve let people leave earlier in the past but with this many cars, it’s too damn hard to get people out.

That’s pretty much all for now, guys. Police presence will be fairly light and not intrusive, same as previous years, but there WILL be a police presence nevertheless. If in doubt, trailer your car down rather than throwing a trade plate on the back, as it saves a lot of dramas, particularly for the cop who always attends AJD and goes into bat for us with the Traffic Police.

Just as a sneak preview, if the owner turns up as promised, we will have a $700K car sitting in the middle of the reserve…I’ll let you guess what it is! Catch you on Sunday, it’s gonna be HUGE.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
