It's on every month, I'm pretty sure it's the first Saturday of every month.

It's not on in August because of WTAC and some other stuff. Hopefully the future of the event hasn't been jeapordised by the idiot with the CDR RX7. That was such a nice car, too.

For those bitching about domestic cars being there, why don't you have a look at the downshift forum and see what the organiser writes up for every event and pull your heads out of your asses.

I saw like 2 VE's and a nicely done XR ute there that were a lot more presentable than the majority of shitboxes that turned up. The amount of crapola skylines, silvias and Hondas there were, was pretty insane. I couldnt believe it when I saw a white 33 that was absolutely FILTHY. To the point where the white rims were almost black and the rest of the car was covered in thick dirt...

I didn't take my car because it's a ford, but it doesn't mean I couldn't if I wanted to.

Overall it's a good meet with a good atmosphere, let's just hope that it stays that way :)

I put my thoughts on this idiocy in 3 separate places on the net. there is time ans place for the stupid crap and that wad not it. that one event lost my sponsorship and a think a few others as well.

it was good when it was at the shopping centers but give people a chance to screw up and act twits and they willl. the shopping center meets had police in them keeping things in check. the later meets didn't and trouble came.

i personally think its done its dash for a bit.

Maybe you should have read what I wrote up in the first place mate, I was by no means BITCHING as you so nicely put it. I was only asking the question on what others thought about it as I thought it was a JDM meet

Bitching was a bit of an exaggeration, sorry mate. It's just that the downshift meet is an open meet, which is what the organiser states.

Still, I think it was a good meet and I only saw a couple of domestic cars and they were good examples. A meet with 700 cars is a good turn out, so let's hope that this dummy in the RX7 hasn't screwed it up.

more than one dummy. two commodores and countless others doing skids outside tb front gates.

damage is done. there was actually a decent discussion on boost (which is unusual for them) about it. the short of it is the police are going to shut it down. there are already rumors of it going south of the border to grafton. the request for police on a local event seems to fallen on deaf ears.

There's always a few that wreck it for the rest unfortunately. Like I said im keen to attend some meets again now the cars back on the road but not if im going to be hasseled by police the entire time.

If only the police saw some of the responsible member of the meet rather then the wankers they'd probley be more lenient. But when stuff happens like that rx7 what can you expect, thats what the police see so thats what they interpret the entire culture to act like.

Its quite aggravating...

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
