Notes:

Saturday 13th January 2007

- Morning meet up point: Outside JR Makuhari Station (East exit?)

Time: 9:00am

- Midday meet up point: Outside 'Central Cafeteria' to the left of the main entrance as you walk in

Time: 12:00pm

- Evening meet up point: Outside main entrance

Time: TBA

I'll make a list of all the people who are interested in coming at the bottom of this post, and update it as we go along. I want to try and avoid a possible situation where 20 people are raring to go but waiting on one or two people, so we'll have to make a final cut off time for the meet up. I realize that we can't all walk around in one group (we're all interested in different things at different times) so a morning meet up point, a lunch time meet up point, and an after show meet up point will be in place. I also realize that numbers will dwindle at each successive meet up point, so I'm not expecting big numbers for any after show things we might organise. I'll add to this section too as 'probems' arise...

I'll post up my JDM mobile phone number when I reconnect it in November. Feel free to call/email me beforehand or even at TAS if you can't find us etc. I'll post up other members numbers too if they can help out.

Hey Rezz,

Considering this will be right down the road from me, and since I've been wanting to go for ages now, there's no way I can miss it. However, I am slightly confused about your itenerary. With this show going on for 3 days, are you proposing to meet up for all three or just one of the three? If the latter, what date/time were you looking at?

yeah, i say we make saturday the big meet day. Sunday is crazy busy and friday is half day only unless you have prior arrangments (press pass, trade pass etc).

I will try and get a hold of some exhibitor tickets again too and will definately try and get some extra for you justin.

1 thing I have never done at TAS is go and check out the carpark mainly because most days there it's pissing down rain! if it's fine next year I wouldn't mind going for a walk to check it out.

yeah we have both said no TAS 2007 as that would mean 3 years in a row. but i think your money would be safe betting on us both being there. :P

I will be going(90% def.), if I am not working.

Will you supply race queens for SAU regulars, Justin? :(

Alright Christian! Finally we might get to meet in person :(

I'll see what I can do about ladies, but don't count on it :P

  • 3 weeks later...

Still alive and kicking. Don't get much time to surf as of late, so not been on here that much recently.

As for TAS, well my eldest son will probably be there. Although I'm not sure about Senna, he's only 2 at the moment, but he loves cars.

I wonder if Troy is going to make the trip over?

I'll definately be at the TAS 2007, looking at the new GT-R :(

I'm not sure if i'll make the meetup, I might be heading over on Sunday. i'll be in Tokyo for a few days beforehand and want to see the sights because straight after that im flying up to Sapporo. If I do make it on the Saturday i'll be sure to meet and greet.

Speaking of Tokyo...

I was just thinking that because of all the motorheads in the Tokyo Metro area for the show, surely there must be some sort of after-party/cruise going on during the weekend. Anyone heard about anything--maybe at Daikokufuto?

    • Think I found another reason to buy the Q50 rather than the skyline import, seems that unless you get the 400r the other models such as the GT miss out on the decent brakes and don't have the flappy paddles on the steering wheel to change gears. Its my day off work today and the Q50 listed @ the dealer in Brisbane that I mentioned in my 1st post looks like it sold as its listed as no longer available... Would have checked it out but can understand why it sold as it was a bargain price.
    • omfg.... That shopping list game. I'd hoped I'd never see it again.
    • There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.
    • That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
