NULON NATIONALS - ROUND 3 - DRAG BATTLE

Corporate-Logo-White-background-national

Ok guys, for those of you that are unaware SAU has been competing in the 3 round club vs club challenge that Nulon has been kind enough to put on for us. Nulon has been looking after car clubs by not only running these events but also sponsoring each driver with the entry fees, merchanidise and even their product. The rounds consisted of -

Hillclimb - Buladelah

Track battle - Wakefield Park

Drag battle - Cootamundra Airport

If you have attended one of the previous events or are planning on spectating at this event (details at the bottom of this thread) please make sure you thank the Nulon team for allowing our club to be a part of this awesome event, also keep an eye out for the man that made all this happen "Chris Dawe" and make sure you buy him a beer to say thanks!

Head over too - http://www.nulon.com.au/ or give them a like on Facebook!!!

SAU has attended the first 2 events so far and are currently sitting in second place on the overall points score -

1st place : Evolution Oz - 364 - points
2nd Place: Skylines Australia SAU - NSW - 322 points
3rd Place: BYP Racing and Developments - 288 points
4th Place: HSV Owners Club -237 Points
5th Place : MX-5 Club of NSW - 212 Points
6th Place: Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ Drivers Club - 209 Points
7th Place: Australian Ford Forums - 87 Points
Unfortunately for us we had bad weather at the hillclimb and not many runs so we came out 6th at that event, we clawed our way back to second after taking out the round win at Wakefield Park. Now it is time for the 3rd and final round and with double points on the table we figured we better step it up a notch.
With the removal of the rule where cars had to back up after the previous round we decided to send down a dedicated team of some of the toughest Nissans we have to offer, with the help of our Team Captain for this round Kat (GTRkat) we present the following team members -

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • 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.
