Thanks for everyone for showing their support for SAU-Vic!

We (the committee) do these things for you, the members of SAU-Vic to socialise and help promote our club!

Today was a complete success with a huge turnout and the best weather this side of the equator.

A big thanks to all the committee who put in the hard yards for organising such a great event and extra kudos to James for securing such an excellent location (we're the 1st car club eva to exhibit at Birrarung Mar)! There was a lot of logistical preperation for this and everything worked like clockwork. It really was a sign of the club maturing.

As long as we have the support of the club, the committee will always strive to put on great events.

Yeh, seeing it again reminded me .... it does have a supercallowfragalistic turbo on it...always good to see someone back in their car after they have been off the road for a while

Cant believe me and James didnt make Snowclown and Jesus get into their g strings and wash cars for not winning the Dutton bet. Woudl have been so funny watching them sit down gingerly all week and explaing to ppl how they ended up with red raw sunburnt asses ;)

Great to see everyones cars nice and shiney under the thin layer of dust, lol James it really was a great venue, it was the wind. :)

Maddie even helped me on the voting, I think she goes by colors. Oh yes and the sunburn. ;)

Thanks Jack, ;) the 4 door is great cause the boot is huge, it fits the big pram and all the shopping!! I brought it after driving my husbands R33 and became hooked on getting a skyline. ;)

I think i saw u leaving as I rocked up, tidy silver 34 sedan? I thought sweet now i know where the entrance is, but being the "do-right"(read: W@nker) citizen i am, i didnt do the illegal (or so it seemed) right turn. instead did a u-turn through 2 tolls :)

Seemed like some very nice cars, i rocked up late unfortunately and then the parole officer wanted to go to the tiolet @ fed square, come back after an hour and 1/2 or so thinking its still early and theres like 3 cars left :(

Also forgot to get a voting number thingy for my window, not that i would have got anything with my interiorless car :)

James, u have to redeem yourself for the last week of Mo-Vember!!! ;)

Also i forgot to purchase an SAU/Team Wang stubbie holder, can they be bought at the next meet or at the next general meet?

Can they be bought even though im not a wang member? I really need a stubbie holder :D

Hi all, have to say it was a fantastic day and great to see the support of so many nissan owners at today's venue. This was my first time ive come out to an SAU event and have to admit it was awsome. Congrats to James and team for putting on a great show and enjoyed meeting some of the team members. I have filmed some footage of todays event if you guys would like me to put it up let me know how and when and would be happy to do so.

Cheers Val :D

Once again, thanks to everyone who organised the event for securing such a prime location on a spectacular day (minus the wind), and to the chefs for their patience in cooking for all of us on such a tiny BBQ.

Hope everyone had a good time - I know I did:

* running the mini 'which colour is better?' poll

* chatting with Vietnamese exchange students - I really hope they were asking how much the cars were and not how much I was :D

* working out bathroom waiting etiquette

* watching some crazy guy trying to get into the toilets when someone else was in there

* trying to convince ferni that jack's headlights were better :)

* not having to put on sunscreen and not getting burnt - yay melanin!

And if Al's wheels ever go missing, I hope I have a really solid alibi...

Haha, someone barged in on me when i was in there. An old guy kept banging and banging, finally got in "oh, i didn't realise someone was in here"....what, the locked door, red sign and people queing up wasn't enough :D

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
