Still downloading my photos off the memory card. Somehow managed 1.2 gigs of stuff.

Like the others have said, huge-rageous thanks to the JEM boys for hosting such a great night. The atmosphere was fantastic with all those great cars and a look-see at the cool components that make up a high power build.

Also thanks to Terry and Matt for putting their cars on display as well. I'm always amazed by road cars that are kept in such pristine condition (makes me glad to park at the back of the lot).

Yup, they couldn't do enough for us :)

And quite a few of our cars go to JEM - rightly so!

This was an interesting night, and I was impressed by the professionalism and accurate answers from the JEM guys. I hadn't been there before but will put them on the list for future.

On the other hand, it was great to arrive late and miss the 4th performance in 12 months or so from the "why you should spend $15k on internals for your street car" sales pitch from Nitto. Their gear is excellent....but only 1% of people need excellent.

Thanks for putting this event on team :)

And an SAU Member 'Adopted' Car that has been here in Oz since 2003 as a new personal import; but never made an appearance at SAU Events until Legends Night November 2011.

Very few SAU Members have ever seen underneath her before - so at JEM, we and they welcomed the opportunity. :3some:

You Duncan have been just as dynamic in putting things on when you were Prez :yes:

And you in fact set the ball rolling with these Tech Nights by engaging National Tyre Wholesalers' Tech Night last year. That won't be forgotten!

Great to see all you SAU Members last night :3some:

Our quota was full - umm overfull in fact with one gatecrasher who'll remain nameless.

A very informative night. Big Thankyou to JEM and SAU for putting the night on.

I had never been there before, but will keep them in mind for my next build, as their knowledge and wanting to make sure the customer is happy and going in the right direction in their project, is something I look for in a workshop.

Thanks to JEM and SAU execs for the great night. I was the guy asking too many questions about circuit cars -sorry!

I also found Nitto's pitch interesting, learnt a lot about forged internals etc. It was also interesting that he didn't mention any prices which I found amusing. Hopefully I will see you all again at the next track day when my car is up and running :)

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
