Mentioned to Nick on Saturday at the tech arvo the need for more Stagea meet ups, even if its just a carpark meet while the weather is still good, which he agreed with. We should try & meet atleast once a month I reckon.

Yep, the quick discussion between Gav and I was to (even at a minimum) just have an occasional meet-up where we can sit back and just talk shit.

Guys im up for anything aslong as it involves a nice drive somewhere.

Once a month sounds good to me.

Im new to the late model import scene so im not sure how you boys roll.

Im used to cutting loose in a old school mazda, but times have changed and dont need all the bullshit that comes with that territory anymore.

Ill leave that to later on when my daughter has to put up with it in my mazda. Lol.

What part of Sydney are you from, Dave?

I was thinking along the lines of Church point on Pittwater rd.

Im not tech savvy to put up maps and directions etc when organising cruises.

If someone wants to make it official they can.

I wasnt real sure of the interest, so I wasnt planning on making it official.

Im keen to cruise anywhere tho.

Why not try something new - never been done before?

Stageas deserve that!

Easy for you guys.

BBQ Plate Facilities (old style) with wood supplied

not that keen on the train museum, I used to do electrical work there and yeah its nice to see the trains but I couldn't be bothered LOL.

might not be everyone's cup of tea but end of month meets at Harry's Liverpool isn't to bad (Friday nights) get a lot of muscle and a fair few rotor's there and a bunch of wankers in their bombodore's and falcraps etc

not so many jap cars there to speak of but it's not a bad place to chill and meet up with mates........

but yeah a monthly meet up wouldn't be a bad idea....... should get more Stagea's to the SAU cruise's too!!! been on a few and probably only seen a couple turn up on the odd occasion.

I don't mind organising another cruise if no one else wants too..........

You did a cracker of a job last time Theo!

A Harry's monthly meet could be a great option.

A mate with an Ex Street Machine cover blown XB Coupe gets down there with his club sometimes, seems quite family friendly too.

End of month at Harrys is ok if you head down around 4pm.

The later it gets the more tools come out and spoil it for everyone.

How bout Cordaux Dam, Wilton?

Been there for a few Rotary cruises and its a nice spot.

And after if anyone wants to head down to the gong?

Stanwell tops?

Im up for anything.

Anyone keen on cruisin during the week at all?

Lets get things rolling, it seems everyone's toey to cruise.

Not another rotor nut who owns a stag? Im kidding

Would love to turn up with the new motor but end of feb/early march ill in melb getting it done.

I reckon have a cruise in March/April,

a run down the royal national park is always awesome and stop down at the pub in the gong (Cnr Achilles Ave & Flinders St) for a meal and then down to the light house for some photo's

maybe start at Bunnings Kirawee (Bath Rd) to the pub in the gong (1hr 15min's drive)

cheers, Theo.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
