I should be able to get to your place around 6.30-7.00pm...im not even going to bother with my seat/lap timer, wheel alignment...there just isnt enough time. So provided there are no further delays in getting my car ready (ie bolt in and tune the engine) then ill be god to leave you place at around 7pm

7 PM works for me too. What do we want to bring along provisions-wise. Do we want to eat out mostly or try to do some cooking (other than the Barbie). Bacon and eggs on the barbie in the mornings works for me....pity we'll have to refrain from beer......

7pm is fine for me too. The place your staying at is about 500m walk from my mates place where we will be. Panorama Drive joins up to Sunland Drive. It's the next street. Well done Roy. You rock... only crawling distance away..

Just called the guy organising it, he said you can pay on the day - $140, at the moment ther eis about 40 people registered, he's guessing there will be about 60-80 total.

I'll be showing up on the day paying.

Hey guys. wont be down there for the weekend... tied up with other shit unfortunatly...

see if anyone can beat my time

Formula 3 - 1:27.4674... hahaha

I have given the racing up for the moment and might go back to it in a few years... So my new car is for sale... Dallara F302 with a Toms Toyota motor, fully sorted, Bosch Motronic ECU and PI data logger and dash.... $145,000 any takers????

Rugby? Damn I will be getting drunk out of shear boredom.

JL - its definitely on this weekend. There are a number of guys from here coming down on the Sunday to watch - so if you are interested in cruising down to have a look maybe you might want to cruise down with them?

UPDATE: I just rang Warren Reid, Event Co-Ordinator, he advised that no passengers will be allowed at this event. And if people want to film/take photos they must sign an indemnity which basically indemnifies the track of liability if filmers/photographers get injured/splattered by crazy drivers such as urselves, well Ferni anyway :)

All Good ferni, at least you wont have to get those Jesus bars re-enforced :)

Remind me to bring a chair & some Warm Clothes :P anyone got a Tripod for video camera?

whats the weather predicition ahh Min 9c Max 17c Shower or Two..

So the tuition you are allowed on Saturday is only from their driving instructors?

I thought you may be able to claim that a more experienced friend wants to ride shotgun to offer advise????? Oh well, a passenger around Wakefield is worth 0.8-1.0seconds a lap so who needs them anyway....actually i suppose a good instructor can be worth up to 5 seconds a lap.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
