Ok, i went to court today for the hearing and i got off under section 10 so i have to complete a theoretical traffic offenders program and then i should have my licence back in 10 weeks. yay!

I've learnt my lesson already, i can just see how much im gonna crave getting in the drivers seat once those 10 long weeks are up...

Now back to the cruise/show.

I can't drive my car. And the friggin stupid long veilside kit does not allow for easy manouvering in and out of the carport, so my car will be remaining home for this event. However, Dean & I have arranged for him to drive me down to the event. So Linton maybe you could meet Dean at Maitalnd and then poke your head in at Newcastle to pick me up.

Let me know whatever's easy, i can arrange to be picked up from the highway if you want - just let me know :D

Dave.

I dont know if ill enter... got a bit of a dint in the side of my car. If i get it fixed in time I might enter.

yeah i'm the same...and i don't think i'll have time to fix by the 17th, so i don't think i'll be entering either

well that's very disappointing guy's cause ive sent the $$ so now it look's like i have just donated to sau cause im not entering with only 2 definate's sorry to all the maybe's .but i'd rather cruz down and have a look 2! just thought you guy's have better car's then me and would enter ohwell shit happen's. is the time still going to be the same??? if no one enter's! or a bit later seen as no one has to be there early to enter. i give up.(my car is for sale tell all your mate's hehehe)

whaaaaaaat??? i didnt know you had paid and what not...whats going on??

i thought we organised it ourselves if we were entering...i didnt know you had it organised for us to go in it.

whats going on??? what do we do to enter?? is it taken care of?? do we just rock up and park in a different section??

cheers

Linton

You are ment to fill out a form to enter yourself into the show and send your entry fee in with it too.

If that wasn't possible you could show up 1/2hr early on the day to make sure you definetly got in. It is not a group entry but its better if you go in with mates obviously. However, this does not mean you cant go down and spectate!! :D

Hey guys... all you people droping out making me nervous.. my car is nothing special either

but to someone else it may tickle there fancy.. scratches, stone chips and all !!.... i'll wait

and see what happens on the day, but if a couple r keen i'll enter.

i'm at maitland too so let me know the meeting spot guys.

cheers

You can cruise down in mine if you want Linton.

That way you only have to drive as far as newy.

I hardly ever see you guys out in newie...!

The only person i ever run into is Dean, and i always see Joshs' car parked when he is at work.

Just wondering where you boys are lurking throughout the normal weekend time... :Pimp2:

Also note that there will be a trip up to Sugarloaf soon too. A few asian mates of mine at the uni own skylines and 180's and they were keen to go for a carve up there and back. Ill let you know more once i find out about that though. (It wont be untill September i imagine)

ive been to newi i gather your talking about the foreshore on sunday's? twice in the last 3week's (haven't seen any of u guy's ) even though i havent been for the last 18 month's when that b###H ran up my vt clubby's arse last year, or the time my vk calai's 193rwkw was taken for a little holiday cause it cherpt 2nd gear and they where sitting at macca's across the road what used to be called the castle, saw me take off, 20 min's later after a few lap's they caught me and under some (cause) of loss traction of tyre's they said that it was classed as a burn out & impounded the car for three month's it cost me $2.50 a day storage. i argued the point that no way in hell it was a burn out!!! but he said we dont care we have wanted you for awhile, ( i admit i was 18 then and i dont drive a big romping v8 or like a dick) i dont go in there much not like i used to.... but i do like to cruz around the lake now and have a feed even a beer or take the miss's, boy,,,mate's and there kid's to the bay or the central coast 4 the day .

    • 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.
