Many many thanks to Ian Raymond & Craig Cameron for accommodating SAU Members for an illuminating and involved learning experience about wheels to-day!!!

Everyone present I think, seemed to be immersed in all the information that was on offer.

I certainly learnt a lot.

Great to see all these friendly Members' faces too.

Sycorb who had to leave early; other Members who could only arrive late - at least we had a happy medium, by having this on an afternoon for once rather than an evening.

Corinne (DIF):- you guys may not know that 3 of us present to-day became Members in 2007 due to her encouragement on a dyno day event at Brookvale. Seems such a long time ago that God_speed, Pezhead and myself all joined up that day! 'Twas good that you came Corinne.

Had a great time, and thanks again to Ian and Craig for the session. Thanks to Terry, and other execs who put the hard yards in organising it.

Also nice to know that good quality jap rims have a good reputation with the professionals. ;)

Great day!! Thanks to all the execs for organinsing

Big thanks to Ian and Craig for great info and great presentation always great to see ones passion for good quality products

Great to see all the usual faces and meeting new faces ready for the next one!!!

As everyone else has said, massive thanks to Ian Raymond and Craig Cameron for their hospitality and the information they provided today! Every one of our tech nights has been both informative and interesting so far, and today was no exception.

Thanks again to Terry for organising it too.

A big thanks to Ian and Craig for hosting the event and to Terry for organising another awesome tech day.

It was good to catch up with everyone. Can't wait for the next one.

Thanks for the SAUNSW guys for organising the event with Ian and Craig.

It was good to finally put some faces next to the avatars and have some nerdy car chats with people.

Thanks to all involved.

Mark :)

Awww thanks Terry :) Was a good afternoon even though everyone was sweltering in the heat. (damn warehouses)

Very interesting workshop learnt some new things. Thanks to Ian Raymond & Craig Cameron also to the SAU exec committee to organise this. Good to see you guys are trying to keep true to the SAU club with these kind of events. They are great or all members new and even old. Can't wait for the next one. Sorry I had to run had to go pick up my sis. :)

A great session; aside from the heat I think the weekend afternoon format really worked well and I learned a lot - I think there was a good combination of basic and more technical information, and everyone I spoke to only had positive things to say. Thanks very much to Ian and Craig for their time, as well as Terry and the rest of the SAU Exec crew for organising it. It's stuff like this that sets the club apart from regular forums or FB-based groups.

Also Nick - loved the Clio! :)

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
