Ok folks time to wrap it up. Post up those pics and have a chat about the cruise.

I really enjoyed it and the GTR finally ran without a hitch! I'll post up my pics soon, although had some kind of card problem so the pics during the cruise didn't turn out.

Thanks for a massive amount of $$ reflecting the compassion you guys have felt for another Nissan Nut (Eric) and his family - especially his wife Kylie who has been left brain damaged after childbirth.

Apparently, Eric is a really nice guy too - and in so caring for his wife fulltime, he's forfeited his motor repair workshop and his home.

Great day!

Had a great run up the pass... 4WD helps hehe

Hope we made some good coin for Eric and Kylie and everyone had a good time.

David did you get your boost issue sorted out?

Will post pics later

Great effort guys! :yes:

I would like to sincerely thank everyone that came out to show support for such a good cause. And special thanks to all that contributed to our donation fund.

We should be very proud as a club that we raised (edit) $502 today! I will arrange a direct deposit to Eric & Kylie's account this week.

Once again - a very big thanks to everyone!

** Note, an anonymous benefactor has pledged us up to break the $500 mark.

Thanks guys...esp to Ryan for directing me n missus to the meeting point. Glad to b able to chip in for a food cause too. Thanks to Terry...finally met the GTR guy hehehe...been admiring both his n his son s car n thnx for the tips too...hope to see some of u guys on the planned tech nite...will post some pics soon

Hey guys, glad to see things went well today!

Barring some personal misfortune (my fancy high output alternator that I only fit a week or so ago decided to give up the ghost an hour in...) we had a decent turn out and from all accounts a good time. Thanks again for your support, I really didn't expect this to take off on SAU like it has. Just goes to show what a top bunch of people we car nuts really are :)

I miss my boat.

I did love that Capri though.

On another note I wasnt allowed to go back down the pass as the minister of war and finances and the eldest girl got car sick.

It was a fun trip home....

I was a bit bummed that i missed you guys at the meeting point in albion park. Would have been sweet to hear the combined sound as we all ascended the mountain.

It put a big smile on my face to see so many cars had turned up. Some very nice examples on display.

Matt, I love the brake setup on your beast man, what size rotors are you running? And i assume they are Brembo Racing calipers?

Fantastic effort! I honestly hope it helps Eric and his family get the help they need.

Shame we couldn't meet up with you guys at some point today, but we were with you in spirit :)

Thanks mate. I believe they are around 380mm at the front. Discs are AP, and yep calipers are Brembo GT 8 piston front 4 rear. Can't sing the praises of good brakes enough, especially on a day like today!

Great day, good to see such a decent turn out for a good cause :)

Didn't get my boost sorted, drove home in a Lancer lol. Checked all the hoses and piping and everything seems to be connected.

However boost does kick in around 5k+ revs for a split second then goes away.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
