Hey all,

SAU-NSW are working with Top Secret Imports to bring you our next Tech night. The theme: Buying a car - the buyers' guide.

The night will be very laid-back - we'll have a BBQ going and some drinks (both at a small fee), catch up with old friendly faces, meet some new ones (and finally put faces to user-names), wander around the workshop/showroom, and hopefully learn some stuff in the process! Top Secret Imports have a wide selection of cars in their showrooms, ranging from Nissan Cubes to exotics like Lamborghini Gallardos and Maserati 4200GTs.

As often happens at these tech nights, there'll be some prizes handed out to a lucky few! (Details to follow.)

The details are as below:

Where: Top Secret Imports - 36 Forge Street, Blacktown

Venue map link: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=36+forge+st+blacktown&hl=en&ll=-33.751839,150.911671&spn=0.002103,0.004729&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&hnear=36+Forge+St,+Blacktown+New+South+Wales+2148&t=h&z=19

Date: Saturday the 14th of April (the week after Easter).

Time: Arrive at approx. 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start

Food and drinks: A BBQ and drinks will be available for a small fee on the night

Who can come along: All are welcome - whether you're a club member or not, come along! All that we ask is that you let us know in this thread if you'd like to come along, so we can cater for numbers with food and drinks for the night. (If you'd like to join SAU-NSW as an official member, we'll have some forms ready for you to fill in, too.)

As this is an SAU-NSW official event, we will be covered under a CAMS permit.

Of course, as SAU-NSW actively promotes good behaviour, there will be NO tolerance for burnouts, loud music, cars racing or speeding, and/or anything else which will bring disrepute to the Club, either outside the venue itself or in the surrounding areas.

* me + 1 guest

* Ian (StageIan)

* Terry (Terry_GT-R34) + 4 guests

* Matt (God_speed)

Damn can't make this one - MY engagement party that night! Better choose the woman over the car on this occasion...

Looks like a great event though, very fond of the guys at TSI who imported my GTR.

You have to register?? I thought you just said in thisthread if you were coming??

I think its due to limited room in the warehouse and to cater for food and drinks as it will be going for a few hours

Well there's already 60 of a possible 40 people going :(

So Devo hah was keen to check out some cubes :D

I should be seeing the guys from TSI tomorrow (i.e. Easter Monday), so I will confirm.

Terry, I'll add you +4. :D

    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
    • Is it oil smoke or fuel smoke? They smell different.
