I've just moved over from WA and living in Glenelg, loving the fact that there is a car show nearly every weekend! Had a ute muster, Mini club, now All Japan and then Austin Healys in a couple of weeks, very cool.

I should have got on to the forums and entered! Saw a black, manual Stagea pretty much exactly like mine in every way haha.

Another great year. Great to meet some new members. The highlight was seeing the cops go after the Ferrari. Did anyone hear if they caught him? And having a drink at the watermark. Where all the SAU shirts were. Also cant wait to see Dave's photos.

Apparently he got away and then drove back down the same road later..

Great day and some very nice cars! Can't wait to get my coupe out maybe next year though.

Had a great day despite not being able to get my car there. putting my wheels on dions car was a tedious exercise that resulted in many lols.

cheers to all the sau buys that came and sank some bulmers at the watermark cheers.gif

Just to clarify, yes they got him.

He was dropping a mate to the airport, so he was told to come back and collect his fine or his car would be impounded, which is why he obviously came back (this is the black 458 Italia - the red one with the Iron Chef sticker that parked on the reserve had nothing to do with it). See, they don't only pick on imports! ;)

Seriously we smashed it out of the park today. So many awesome cars, and I'm still amazed at the number of spectators, we surely had over 1000 people drop by. Everyone was well behaved (with a couple of small exceptions) and Neil and the guys at SAPOL did a great job of chatting to owners and settling down the pelicans driving past.

Dave took a dozen photos and then gave up for the day.

    • 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
