Hey, don't worry about brakes, they only slow you down!

Come on everyone! We get very few full days at EC on a weekend, this is probably the only one all year.

How about a BBQ fatz? You can do helis afterwards on the grass :D

Duncan is right... not too many happen on a weekend at all... usually reserved for the bikes!

In fact this is THE LAST CHANCE to do a FULL DAY track day at Eastern Creek THIS YEAR!!!

I hope I get this issue with my car sorted by then.

Dan.

Count me in, a friend just bought a 300kw 200SX that does 1:50s around Eastern (Prick). Another friend may be bringing his RX7.

Ill get them to confirm with me by weeks end if they are coming. The RX7 is about 95%, the 200SX needs to convince his wife that the new car needs its legs stretched.

Ill see you on Sunday, approx time ?

Whats the prob with the car? Im still waiting for my Power Fc!

looking forward to giving the 'R a thrash.. :D

Me too :)

We might have to let down the tyres on the 200sx though!

Also, $180 is pretty cheap for 8 hours at the track.

If Derek can scrape together the coin to drive then he will be doing it on road rubber, the previous owner ran Duncan's fav tyre to get those times. Either way he will be a long way from those times until he gets to know the car and that type of speed.

Duncan you may remember the car, as it was at a Motoconcepts day last year, white, Alcon brakes, Kevlar Recaro, was hammering with you and the black Porsche in Group A. Hung out with us Nissan guys in the pits.

Dino,

Have fun... was good to know ya!!!

Brendan,

I'm always looking for some help with things... this one should pretty much run its self... the car issue is a rather loud now tapping as I boost up issue... mechanic thinks it could be a cracked piston... but suggested to get a second opinion. I'll take it to a import (skyline) specialist soon.

Interested parties:

Duncan

Kel

akira

Prank

Roy

Derek Roy's mate (needs coin)

Carlo (claims he needs breaks... but the smart money says the track bug will get him!)

Fatz (For BBQ and Heli's on the grass)

Majanal (If I get the car sorted in time)

Well that is 5 definate and 4 maybe's... tis a start... URINE... are you coming? Bonkers? and what about Gonads? OZ, haven't seen you in a while? Zane you neither?

I can't believe that it is Tuesday and we haven't got 15 people looking for a spot yet. Did I mention that this is a public holiday?

Dan,

Definitely have the need for speed and really need to dust out the high speed cobwebs but can't confirm attendance yet. I may be settling on my house on the 6th June which means I'll be moving gear around that weekend. If settlement gets pushed back then I am there with bells on ( no, not literally!! ). I'll finalise my house stuff asap and get back to you before the 19th.

As for Oz, he's still waiting on his PFC replacement so I doubt he'll want to risk getting beat by GTST's. Maybe we can provoke him out from under his rock.

Z.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
