Eoi: All Japanese Car Show Act - 2015


Recommended Posts

Wow, ok yeah. Anyway back on topic.

Sorry for no updates, have been busy with other things, seeing as this isn't going ahead until next year, it hasn't really been a priority.

So I'm thinking that Rond Terrace (where Capital Jam was this year and last) would be a good place for the show. Has parking for spectators, plenty of room for all the cars. At this stage, a dyno day probably isn't going to happen for a number of reasons, plus as stated, they are a bit boring.

Start of April seems to be when this is going to happen, but I won't be starting to organise anything until after summernats, this time of year is a bit busy and I don't have much spare time. But if anyone is keen to volunteer, let me know. I would be looking at getting a few people from each club that are interested and getting together for a brainstorm and to organise.

Just on the note for the Dyno. You could possibly have an open class from 8am-10am and from there on have 500kw+ for entry. Not only will this attract the big power horses of Canberra it will also weed out the dreamers with their 170kw R34 GTT in Red :P etc

Anyways, I'm glad to hear this is still going on and look forward to the first event. As everyone likes to say, we've all got something going on but I really hope someone will put up their hand who has the dedication and the 'drive'.

To be honest, this is the only forum/club that has registered interest in a dyno. Hence why I'm not really bothered with getting one. Plus that as well as cost, organising a workshop that is happy to get involved, insurance, food/beverages and possible entertainment. In my experience, no one is really interested in getting their big power horses out and about, if anything they are the opposite because of sus people scoping their cars out. If anyone is interested in a dyno run, go to ultimate tunes or the likes, chuck 'em a fiddy and get them to run your car up. Static displays at where its at, because they seem to work the best, why go and reinvent the wheel. I'm all for new and different things, it's getting other people exciting as well is the hard part.

Bit of an update for those who are keen.

This is still a go ahead, discussing a venue and a time at the moment. At this stage it looks to be going ahead early May. Possibly the first weekend as there isn't much on. It's far to busy between now and then to hold anything, with different nationals coming up as well as other shows happening around Canberra.

Anyone keen to volunteer for this? We need a few people to help with marshalling cars, setting up and general help throughout the day.


Send me a PM, and I'll give you some details from there. We will have another meeting in coming weeks so everyone knows what's going on.

Should still come out to spectate if your cars aren't ready or off the road.

I put my hand up to volunteer as there wasn't any interest. Depending on the time I need to get there will depend on if I can come to coffee before hand. I will let you know before hand though.

    • 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.
