A massive thanks to the guys from top secret for organising a great meet.

Sooo many cars.

I only saw 1 cop car early in the arvo on the way in.

A lot of people seemed to be behaving themselves, which is always good to see.

Will post pics tomorrow or Sunday.

Copy paste, cause I didn't see the wrap up thread...... :P

11ty civics with orange wheels and roof racks.

Nah, was a fun night. Loads of "variety". Some rare stuff, some more mundane stuff. A few new sau nsw members joined up which was good. Behaviour was good. Some Honda fanbois thought limiter bashing was a recognised sport. Our little sau setup proved good for car watching.

I was AMAZED at the amount of cars still outside when we left. There must have been at least 200 cars I drove past that couldn't get in! Need a bigger space with more entry exit options in the future.

And for the record, I didn't see one hwp near the meet. Traffic operations were in house and seemed efficient. Only saw hwp on the way on the m7.

Car scene dead? No, it's very much alive.

We definitely had a good vantage point for all the cars entering later on in the night :yes:

Right near the exit so getting out was easy, sooooo many cars just parked along the road that couldn't get in

Lots of fun just hanging out with the Sau crew admiring the cars entering... or judging & making fun of them, harmless fun.

I took photos too but nothing that hasn't already been posted up already by you guys.

overall was a good night but need to have more than one Rip off food stand (the girls serving were a consolation though) I don't think even the organisers were expecting so many people to rock up as they did

:cheers:

P.S, Alex I counted AT LEAST 12 of those new toyota86 thingies ;)

It's 6.9km from the GWH (Shell Servo) all the way to the entry location and then all the way down to the Horsley Drive set of traffic lights (which is where the cars were backed up to as I tried to enter from both sides), so at roughly 10 metres per car thats another ~690 cars waiting outside at approx 8pm.

Next time, charge $30 per vehicle for entry, park the rest free along Ferrers Rd or in the paddock where you park to attend the drag racing and make them walk in the dark.

Also to add, I was around Huntingwood-Arndell Park-Eastern Creek between 4-6pm and not a single cop car seen and also nobody was using the Huntingwood Industrial area to "meetup" like we all thought however I expect that for the next meeting everyone will be getting there much earlier and much closer.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
