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. :)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
