Yet another great SAU-NSW tech night - massive thanks to Terry for doing most of the organising, and to Todd, Adam and the crew @ JLM for hosting it, feeding us, and answering a bunch of questions (and servicing mine and Terry's cars, and doing a quick check-over on Luke's).

Got photos? Got opinions on the information given on the night? Got ideas for our next one? Post them in here!

I had a great time thanks - with like minded friends - all of you :)

Thanks to Todd and Andrew for distinguished presentations.

Plus Mtzu, Adam and Maurice Snr/Jnr for working on Nick's and my car. Hope the CV boot behaves itself this time Nick (1st time JLM have seen your car - a credit to you too).

'twas the first time I have seen a car serviced with "flair"! Some of Mtzus little touches made me smile.

Was good getting a better idea of the interactive parties involved in the importing process, and some of the more commonly made mistakes.

Was a good night, glad to finally put some faces to names. All top blokes.

Thanks to all for organising. Todd touched on all the important "issues" most of us face with our cars and gave clear advice and solutions.

In saying that he was very open about the fact that the rules are not in our favour and explained that it is down to the individual on how much risk they want to take driving their defect magnets :P

Clinton and I had a great night and the guys from JLM should be commended for putting on such a good evening and providing very good information.

I will have to call in and see them and pick up some of their Tyre Placards as we run 18 x 9's on all of our cars and it would just make it that much easier if you are pulled over as it is then something obvious that you cannot get defected for.

My only problem for the night was loosing a set of reading glasses which probably dropped out of my coat onto the floor somewhere.

wow.

great night.

the biggest thanks to terry for organising.

and even more so to todd and the guys for hosting is, and staying until well past midnight.

a very broad range of topics touched upon, which was very nice to see.

think if we ever do this again, ill organise a pizza or 2 for todd and I ;)

one last thing, I really appreciated todd letting me put my car on the hoist to check out the gearbox leak.

turned out to be the breather.

and if you read this todd, the centre bearing is done, gearbox mount replaced, a little more spacing added to gbox cross member and centre bearing, and the vibration is almost completely gone.

Please - do tell! :)

PS How's your busted knee Mat?

Just tiny things like the way he removed the sump plug. Something I as a home mechanic wouldn't have though of, like drawing the plug away really quickly as to not get covered in oil. Seeing him give it a little tap once he had re tensioned it after draining. Like a mental check.

Again, the way he bled the brakes specifying hard or soft stokes.

I like the fact you used Nissan filters. :)

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
