Day was awesome big props to Paragon even though he drives a silvia :)... and also Derrick he gave me some pointers through out the day and by the end i was actually able to do some of them lol

By the 3rd one i was carving up (personal opinion :P) hehe you were right though a tap of the hand brake down the end there just kept it going was unreal. Look forward to doing it again in the future...

I still have not washed my car i figure i had better go to car lovers when management is not around. (we still can't wash our cars at home can we ???)

Of course you can't wash your car at home :D . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :). Still have to go over my car, have been using waterless wash, will use that to finish my car off.

Anyway was a Great day as always, looking forward to the video :happy:

good fun. I am aiming to go next time without smashing my front bar.

bought a new set of tyres after dorifto and the dumb ass "misplaced my hub centric rings and also assured my 235's would not scrub.... THEY DO!!!!!!!

now i will have to get 3mm spacers and have some more hub centric rings made...

I know i should have waited and gone to see mark at discount tyres but i did not like the idea of driving on completely bald tyres for a week.

It was really good to meet all of you and everyone was doing so well. the day is so much better with all nissans. Honestly you guys are much better drivers than all the other riff raff that are there on the open days :)

I was sure I couldn't anyways just that I spotted this on the actew website

General Exemptions

Water can be used to wash a vehicle's windows, mirrors or lights, and for spot removal of corrosive substances, and then only with a bucket or watering can filled directly from a tap (not by means of a hose).

I would classify the amount of shit on my car as being corrosive substances although it is not really a spot removal it would be a full wash hehe

Anyways I have the best idea I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner... THERMOS... safest way to get hot water down to the car wash and it at least cleans it up nicely.

Of course you can't wash your car at home :happy: . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :).

Hey all, Josh here!

Yeah have just looked over the raw footage, and u give r speedstars woot! I'll make a 30 sec vid clip that u guys can view, and from there we can figure out DVD copies + raw footage. Awesome day guys - good job on track, although I don't recommend filming inside a car, as generally stability isn't an option (and I REALLY like stability when I film haha!).

couldn't believe you got in the car wit the camera!! must have been crazy..

yeah, my car kinda clean.. still needs some TLC..

thrid time on the pan, and feeling like my skillz going backwards >_< not sure what's up with that..

must try and make it up to wakefield with Derreck one day.. he seems pretty good I think..

I can't believe I didn't come, sounds like you guys had a great day, and alot of awsome cars were out there. Next time I'll be there paragon :laugh:

P.S hey everyone, its Reece

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
