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)

* Dave (Aggroman)

* Eric (Pezhead)

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.

Oh man and I would save so much cash to spend on mods it would be awesome! I'll get you to tell her Luke ok??

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

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
