Thanks to JEM and SAU execs for the great night. I was the guy asking too many questions about circuit cars -sorry!

I also found Nitto's pitch interesting, learnt a lot about forged internals etc. It was also interesting that he didn't mention any prices which I found amusing. Hopefully I will see you all again at the next track day when my car is up and running :)

never too many questions.

I was actually a little surprised at how few questions there were.

the talks were very in depth though.

, on the nitto front, if you have to ask.....

Had a great old time.

+1 for the guys at JEM putting on the night. Wasn't expecting it to go so late, but there was a lot of info to get through. Put the tech in tech night at some stages!

Was interesting seeing/ hearing tuning philosophy's and personal prefernaces.

I was going to ask Andrew about whether or not a balanced billet crank negated the need for a damper pulley kit on some cars - but Eric seemed to answer it for me before I could get to Andrew privately.

Bit shy still at my age hehe...

I did have a talk to one of the JEM staff at the end.

He himself could have given the type of talk on builds that Andrew gave being an RB specialist full time at JEM.

I'd like to hear him next time.

All the speakers were superb! :happy:

+1 thank for all involved.

The best part of it was that every answer was explained on a level so that a novice could understand. Even if a few questions were very technical.

Really well done.

I'm now more not sold on E85 for the costs. Great in a new car, but the $ to convert seems too high.

Plus, I'm convinced that once Julia see's it becoming popular, she'll slap tax's on it so the cheap bowser benefit will disappear.

Thanks to everyone at JEM and the execs at SAU for organising!

Was a fantastic night, covered a lot of bases and such a variety of topics.

Bobby's new project is absolutely incredible in person. Can't wait to spot it at the local Coles sometime soon! :)

Edit - great photos guys!

I wasn't able to get many shots in - no experience shooting cars but guess I can change that :P

Spent most of my time meeting and greeting and a big kudos to Nick for the lift home :)

As covered by other people, not many questions were asked mostly due to how in depth the talks were - very informative on a lot of areas and also the openness of what goes on too. Z Tune and "Skola Tune" GTRs were very impressive.

Wow looks like it would have been a great night, I'm kicking myself for pulling the pin, the Tom Tom said I would get there just after 9 so I pulled out thinking I look like an idiot pulling up as everything's rapping up. Looks like I missed a top night.

haha I had the same problem, was way late due to M5. On the bright side I missed most of the nitto bit :)

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
