Well time for a 1 thread of the year:

Will the New Brands bring in more interest?

Theres the odd looking Nissan

and then the car that oozes sex... The might AMG E63, Looks great ( some what biased) and sounds even better :-D

I'll be around, not sure what my commitments are at the moment to pre Arrange catch ups but will no doubt cross path with Mr Nightcrawler

Few mates and myself have bought tickets this year, had lost interest the last few years but am looking forward to seeing what the shake up will do to the die hard ford/ holden fans with a few cans in them... ( not sure if it'll be funny or dangerous! )

Found out the GT program has all of friday free so that might clear quite a bit of time for me

I have a feeling the V8 pits are going to be rather busy in all the teams i'm associated with given the new COTF so will spend some time in there but keeping clear of getting in the way

As pointed out, I will be there :) .... and will hopefully have a spare ticket for you Matt - will only know during that week though. If any other spare tickets pop up in our group (which almost always happens), Nussio do you want a free ticket to come with us on the Friday?

I will be there, me and a heap of mates got a corporate box together. Bloody expensive but if there was a year to do it, this is the one.

Plus I would end up spending probably $300 a day just in ticket, grog and food alone anyways.... yep.... I would.

I will be going this year for the first time in 9 years. Will be looking out for familiar faces. I will be in a corporate box with MAX cranes from Port Augusta.

Will be an interesting year.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • 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. 🤣
