At least the cops were good about it, came & spoke to us politely & explained that it was the museum security that had complained.

The hurry up from the pursuit car was a nice touch though :laugh:

I also had a suggestion, but it's a bit out of the way - the carpark under Harvey Norman Fyshwick is usually lit at night, and undercover, so safe from rain and stuff. I noticed it once & it kinda looked like a good place for a meet.

I was kinda thinking about going for a bit of a drive on Friday night to scout out a new place closer to Civic.

Well if Harvey Norman is under cover, which I recall it being, then it might be a good start. Not sure if it's open after they shut the place though. Plus I'm not 100% sure on the entry into that place for lower cars.

I'll be out tomorrow night.

Hey everyone

I'm back in town for the weekend and at this point planning to come out tonight I'm look forward to seeing everyone :thumbsup:

p.s THAT MEANS PPL BETTER BE OUT AND ABOUT!!! :P

Did anyone recce' H.N.'s at Fyshwick for night time meeting point? Fully agree that driveway entry needs to be handled with great care... But a 'wide angle' to get in or out at night in Fyshwick ( stop it right now, those with dirty minds...) wont be a prob' as there's minimal traffic....

Any other ideas for a new location?

PM me if there is a goer: wouldn't want NS.com or the Commonwhore crew to find out and reck it for us again...

The Mueseum has always been a car meet spot, not just for SAU but for most car clubs in Canberra. It's well known that vehicular activity occurs there on cruise nights/days.

Just a bummer that it's the general SAU site as well.

Hello,

Are you able to provide examples of when and where the NissanSilvia 'crew' has recked it for you / SAU please?

Thanks.

Thanks.

To answer your question... read the rest of the comments.

Yeah ns.com guys are good, they don't do stupid things.
Thank you Michele, but I did read that along with Dragon_Silvia's comments. :ermm:

However I want to hear an answer from LTSJayce thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm someone that has been around for ages, and have had mostly good things happen when it comes to car clubs. However, every clubs seems to have rogue members, and periods where everything comes off the rails. Rexnet, Canberra Cruisers, Nissan Silvia.com, RS Liberty, RE ACT ,and even us here at SAU plus many more clubs have had moments of less than perfect judgement. I have had good dealings with the NS.com crew(I was having good chats with three of the lads whilst standing next to the R35 on Friday night; one was a NS.com member who had just had their car towed for second offence on burnouts... but he seemed remorseful enough). Hell knows I'm not a perfect angel.

You ask for examples of when and where NS members have wrecked it for me or SAU? I can't talk for SAU, only myself, but without bringing up old issues, and I'm NOT getting into the 'us vs. them' debate, how's January 2002 Braddon, October and December 2003 Northbourne Ave, Feb' 04, London Circuit, July 06 Kingston....and the memories go on. Please note this isn't a website upsetting me; only some of its members. Does that answer your question? A straight yes or no will suffice. You've been around SAU since at least 2005; you'll appreciated my views weren't formed overnight. Also remember that if it's not on the internet, things do occur. There are a few more times that come to mind, but I would rather remember the good cruises and shows I've done with all of the guys over the years. I guess, in hindsight, my comment may've come off as a little bit biased or even petty. It wasn't intended as such, so apologies to the NS.com crew that may feel hard done by. I stand by my experiences, and can only think I should've added all possible clubs into my statement to keep the mix appropriate. Thankyou for your question. Shall we all move on and get back to Skyline discussion?

Now, back to the problem at hand of finding somewhere more appropriate for SAU to gather without being harassed...

The H.N. idea sounds a good 'un. Anyone else got some ideas? I thought I had a good place worked out, but after having a good look on Friday morning, it's a thumbs down for too many reasons. So, we're back to square one.

Locations, people?

The Harvey Norman Security wont let you. One of em got up me the other day, cos i walked through theyre driveway after checking a warehouse next door and im a security guard!! A large meeting of cars in Fyshwick on a Friday night, will attract most Security attention and then police.

A friend of mine has just bought the Subway franchise at the airport servo, perhaps we could meet there, maybe not this friday night, but in the next couple of weeks.

scott

i was at that servo the otherday, only looked like 10 car parks ??? is there any around the back or something like that ???? plus what would you think about the big carparks further round the corner from there they look big and open and proberlly not attract undue attention????

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
