what a day.... copngrats to the Full Lock guys for putting on a top class event. Thanks to all that made it from interstate to compete, and a very special thanks to the Japanese D1 drivers that came out to put on one of the best drift shows i think i have ever seen. Hopefully with a bit of luck the D1 drivers will go back to Japan and talk the event up and bring out a few more drivers and maybe their cars for the next event :):) Did i hear someone saying they wanna run an Aussie round of the D1 Grand Prix :):D:D:D:D:D:D

Yep, awesome day. I didn't know you were out there duncan + Kel - sorry I missed you guys. I am soo p1ssed off though. On the way home my CF card just dies :) I had heaps of great photos + video and a photo of me with one of the Japanese drivers. Does anyone know of a place that can repair and maybe recover the photos off this thing? Just as bad as the photo loss is the fact that now I don't have a 256mb card anymore, when i put it in the camera it just says "card error" and I can't even take any new pics on it.

Sorry we missed you too! Try Fletchers Photographics, Pitt St in the city, for the CF card - when we got our camera from them a couple of months ago they mentioned they do photo recovery. Goodl luck!!!!

Thanks Kel. Apart from missing you guys, I also didn't bring any beer :) No one mentioned that drift nats was BYO! I saw three guys carrying in a BIN full of VB, they didn't even offer me one :)

On that note, Duncan, you didn't address my SAU newsletter by hand did you? Beer Baron indeed. I like it, now how do I change my nick?

hehe.

Did every one see the guy who ventured onto the track to claim the bar that was torn of the cefiro?

I sure did. I also saw him get booted from the event about 3 minutes later. Bet he was really pleased with that effort...

Richard

haha Kel did add a personal touch to some of the newsletters lol

we did see you there richard but were in the queue for health food and didn't want to miss out :D

next time the club needs a stand and banner

Fo' shizzle. Also, whover came up with the idea of battering, then deep frying hotdogs is a bloody smart guy. Must have been Australian. :D

I was there driving the purple/black Hyperdrive Motorsport Sil80.

Unfortunately the Jap that borrowed it for the D1 show proved just how crap I was in it.

To jump in a strange car and within 3/4 of a lap be doing what he did shows just how much we all have to learn grasshopper... :(

I am hoping that Ben Ellis lets me have a copy of the incar so I can see how he did it...

Cheers

Ken.

PS At least one of our team won the factory class :rofl::rofl: so congrats to Mike. :(:D

    • 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!
