I'll be there, perfect time for me actually, any earlier and it would be difficult. It helps that it is around the corner from home :D

Any other V coming??? Or am I left to represent us all??? That's a lot of pressure, we are a good bunch!!!

Hey guys,

The meet was great, but not many of us there. There were 4 350Z's one Lotus Elise and my V.

I have some pics that the missus got someone to take of her with all the cars, hahahaha I'll post them up soon.

It was good to meet some of the 350Z guys, they were a bunch of good people. Kamil's black 350 is really nice!

Also the place, Garage Cafe, was all that I was expecting it to be, never being there before. Nice food and very reasonably priced. As usual I got quizzed by some of the other crowd there, "what car is that????" "Oh yeah, I thought it looked like a Nissan but I wasn't sure!!!" The V got the most attention there hahahaha.

The owner of Garage Cafe was really nice too, having only just met me an hour or so earlier, he let me sit in his white S5 Audi and perv on it inside out, engine, etc. Gorgeous car. However I was very surprised when he told me that from factory, the S5 (V8) makes out around 160kw on all four wheels. I told him I dynoed mine and it put out 169.9rwkw with no mods, but of course, his Audi is 4 wheel drive.

All in all, a good chance to relax for a couple of hours during a week night.

Nice to meet you Juan, your V is a great representation of the model, super-clean and the rims are pimp!

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
