This weekend Noosa played host to the Noosa Beach Classic Car Show. All sorts of cars turned up as well including a moderately decent display of imports. One of the best cars of the show being the 1/2 a mil priced lamborghini (excuse spelling if it's wrong) Pics can be seen in my gallery (link below)

I think next year some of the guys from bissy/goldy should come up and make it a more "import friendly" event. It's only $15 to enter your car and its a pretty good day for all. Something to think about, its a year away anyway.

Was a good event, I'll probably enter mine next year. On my way home I went for a spirited drive up "the hill", I think I'd better get that entry form filled in and mailed away for the hillclimb for this year - they've resurfaced most of the road up there Matt I think you should enter the 33 too! I had no ground clearance issues.

Hopefully I'll get the GT-R in under the category of "future classics", the HRCC are a bit funny with modern cars in that event.

hey brad, good to see you on the forums. I'll have a think about the hill climb however ill probably sit it out this year and wait until i can be a little more competitive. Such as next year :rolleyes: I'll definately be up there to watch and lend support to fellow nissan owners though!

Damn you must have been waiting to jump on me that reply was quick!! I'll get that entry done this week look forward to seeing you there. My parents in law will also be making it there with their blue 300zx (g'reddy TD05x2 + 2x ext. wastegates + trust coolers etc...) and their black V12 twin turbo XJS Jaguar. I'll enter both my cars that way I should get at least one accepted!

I've got a friend at Coolum with a white R32 GTS-T who would probably with a bit of arm twisting attend the Noosa Beach Classic next year also. I recon if we do what the Porsche club did (and that is practically take over the show) they won't have any choice BUT to acknowledge us!

I'll look out for you at the hill climb!! The designated car category is SUPPOSED to change every year however i doubt we'll ever see the day that Nissan becomes the key manufacturer. Last year it was mercedes or something the year before that it was ferrari. I'd say they would go through almost every high end car name then start over again and try to keep us "jap imports" to the back. Meh every year the number of us there grows and I figure they cant do much when 30 upwards of us show up, they'll have no choice but to let us claim rights to the whole show.

NB: When the above happens we'll be implementing a dyno shootout, DB contest and a burnout comp :rolleyes: (I suppose i can dream)

May I also say that the judges at the show need to be seriously updated with what is good and whats crap. A HILUX won best Asian Car and a new off the showroom floor mx5 got second, what a load of bollox. Im suprised that josh's silvia won last year and even that I think was done because the judges feared the dispute that would have followed from everyone if it didnt. All i can say is next year I'll join the club and judge best Asian car :rolleyes:

Haha yeah I couldn't agree more some of the decisions I've seen over the years for "best" whatever category car at shows has left me (and others) wondering. You generally find that the people who vote an off the showroom floor brand new car the winner are generally the people who read and believe what the writers of MOTOR magazine and the likes have to say!

Naturally we'll probably never see Nissan as a designated car category because as is Japan's way they copied what others had done except they did (and still do) it better.

Although we may yet see plenty of imports making their way up the hill provided the established players with their historics don't get annoyed with the fact that we don't have to measure our straight line speed in eighth mile (as opposed to quarter mile) to prevent our E.T's being recorded in minutes and seconds as opposed to seconds and fractions thereof (just kidding guys!) :rolleyes:

Yep I couldn't agree more, in fact i think one of the judges had the MOTOR magazine and was using it to aid his judging (just kidding)

very true, but hopefully next year more nissans can grace the event!

LMAO :D Should be interesting to see some of the imports and what times they can pull this year. I doubt they'll be able to forgive our ignorant want to measure times in seconds though. What can i say it's not our fault that our cars go harder :rofl:

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
