Went well last night. Thanks to the guys from Nissan Silvia and also Simon (Messiah) for organising.

Old Hill carpark was a bit of a joke, I think I must have circled it about 6 times trying to figure out how to get in; later figured out security kept opening / closing entrys and exits... P1 was okay but ended up rubbing my front spoiler on the up-ramp!

I didn't plan on taking that many photos, was going to leave to the pros, I'm just a bit of a hack, but here are a few pics to get us started, let us know what you think...

Dave, Shehan and Sloane it was good to catch up with you guys, if you PM me your email I've got one or two more of your cars.

Cheers,

Matt

Was good down at Palm Beach, was expecting some more to show up there at least, Nice to meet you Simon will try and arrange another photo shoot in better weather next time maybe south as we come from this way. Also sorry I didn’t hang around at Homebush but after seeing over 4 cop cars up the side street was not going to risk having to get pulled over. Trying to get the car ready for Superlap and don’t need the hassles from the cops.

Look forward to seeing some images.

T'was good to meet some of you guys, unfortunately the police were awaiting us by the time we got to homebush from SAU to meet up with the NS guys, so we ended up just doing a little mini shoot with FST32R which was the only car left as i think Brian didn't want to get into trouble as he is prepping his car for superlap.

Had heaps of fun, processing photos at the moment and will post them up when i'm done with them (or what i am allowed to anyway).

Thanks to the organisers, was super fun, looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to everyone who pitched up, both for photo's and those who just wanted to spectate and or cruise.

I learnt a thing or two both about cruise organising and photography, so i'd call it a sucess in my books. Hopefully enough people agree that it will be worth organising another in the not too distant future.

As some of you might be aware, we had a visit from Jerry of Fast4's while we were at palmie asking us to submit some photo's. Can i assume that everyone who had a pic taken is ok with that?

It does mean that you wont get access to the good shots until after puiblication, but after that you'll be able to see your car in a magazine and have a full quality digital image to back it up.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
