Hi y'all,

Just wondering if any of you guys are heading over to the rally of Canberra, I'll be there for the weekend and would like to catch you guys for a cruise and all that.. Should be a few out I'd think (there sure was last year)..

Is rally a dirty word on a skyline forum, usually associated with a rival company ??

:burnout:

Well i have good news, well for me........I've been in Sydney for the weekend, and having breakfast at Ash's caffe yesterday on the northern beaches we were joined by some good friends of my brother, one of them does alot of work for Rally in ch10 motorsport, and he was kind enough to offer me to go around with the ch10 camera crew for a day, which means i'll have unlimited access and for the most of it, i'll be standing on the side of the road watching the cars fly past me, getting within a couple of feet!!!!!

Sorry but i had to rub it in! lol.

thanks for offering SAU canberra the opportunity to come with you andrew where do we meet you to come along for this great day :P

meet me at 123 Fake street......knock not once, not twice, but thrice and a an elderly gentleman with a limp will greet you at the door, at which stage he will issue you with further instructions. dress warm, bring a canteen and if possible some sort of weapon, when it happens, you'll know why!

Can anyone recommend the best places to watch? I've been the ROC site but any first hand info would be good :)

    • 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.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
