I sent a follow up email today and he said that I got in. Probably only just though.

Adz, How booked is PIARC? Do you know? Spewin I can't commit yet coz of work

As the family daily is back on the road, thought I best get working on the Nissan tractor for PI – thought the noise was from a leaking turbo gasket as per norm but this time it’s was different. The one piece dump/front pipe has cracked near at the turbo flange. Currently seeing if it can be welded otherwise left with the task of determining what no name replacement will line up with my cat - some shops are like, buy it, assume it will fit, we don't offer refunds.

One thing is certain, this time a flex pipe section will be going in!

I am in the final stage of organising a group buy on Hankook Ventus TD Z221 in 295/30/18 and 255/40/17s. Unless the group buy sells out quick then I doubt they will be ready before end of June :(

I'm interested in this group buy for the 255/17's, normal prices are under $400 a tyre in 17's which is better than the usual $2k+ for advans

Where do you get them for that price? Thats about what they are coming out at...if that is retail at a certain place then I will just buy them direct at normal price

The 21st of July was always on.

Martin is going to put the entry up here soon. I would suggest people get in quick.

Edit: i see the winton is back on. I hope they can get numbers.

I'm confirmed as in and driving an AWD.

Also got a notification of an AROCA Broadford for the 22nd July which I wouldn't mind doing but will be at the WRX PI on the same weekend so probably wont.

    • 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
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
