Eoi: All Japanese Car Show Act - 2015


Recommended Posts

Wow, ok yeah. Anyway back on topic.

Sorry for no updates, have been busy with other things, seeing as this isn't going ahead until next year, it hasn't really been a priority.

So I'm thinking that Rond Terrace (where Capital Jam was this year and last) would be a good place for the show. Has parking for spectators, plenty of room for all the cars. At this stage, a dyno day probably isn't going to happen for a number of reasons, plus as stated, they are a bit boring.

Start of April seems to be when this is going to happen, but I won't be starting to organise anything until after summernats, this time of year is a bit busy and I don't have much spare time. But if anyone is keen to volunteer, let me know. I would be looking at getting a few people from each club that are interested and getting together for a brainstorm and to organise.

Just on the note for the Dyno. You could possibly have an open class from 8am-10am and from there on have 500kw+ for entry. Not only will this attract the big power horses of Canberra it will also weed out the dreamers with their 170kw R34 GTT in Red :P etc

Anyways, I'm glad to hear this is still going on and look forward to the first event. As everyone likes to say, we've all got something going on but I really hope someone will put up their hand who has the dedication and the 'drive'.

To be honest, this is the only forum/club that has registered interest in a dyno. Hence why I'm not really bothered with getting one. Plus that as well as cost, organising a workshop that is happy to get involved, insurance, food/beverages and possible entertainment. In my experience, no one is really interested in getting their big power horses out and about, if anything they are the opposite because of sus people scoping their cars out. If anyone is interested in a dyno run, go to ultimate tunes or the likes, chuck 'em a fiddy and get them to run your car up. Static displays at where its at, because they seem to work the best, why go and reinvent the wheel. I'm all for new and different things, it's getting other people exciting as well is the hard part.

Bit of an update for those who are keen.

This is still a go ahead, discussing a venue and a time at the moment. At this stage it looks to be going ahead early May. Possibly the first weekend as there isn't much on. It's far to busy between now and then to hold anything, with different nationals coming up as well as other shows happening around Canberra.

Anyone keen to volunteer for this? We need a few people to help with marshalling cars, setting up and general help throughout the day.


Send me a PM, and I'll give you some details from there. We will have another meeting in coming weeks so everyone knows what's going on.

Should still come out to spectate if your cars aren't ready or off the road.

I put my hand up to volunteer as there wasn't any interest. Depending on the time I need to get there will depend on if I can come to coffee before hand. I will let you know before hand though.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
