Aus Infront Presents: Movement

Posted on 5 July, 2012 by Justin Fox


Aus Infront Presents: Movement at the Apple Store Sydney.

Last night’s Infront Presents at the Apple Store Sydney was a little quiet. Blame it on the rain, or more likely that State of Origin was on, massive shame as I think it was the best one we’ve done so far.

Was great to catch up (albeit briefly) with my mate Ash who’s killing it right now. He’s just directed the Olympics advert you’re seeing on TV at the moment, and for those who missed last night, be sure to watch his short film: Never Extinguish.

THE-LOWDOWN ‘Showcased’

Posted on 1 July, 2012 by Justin Fox

Yesterday saw THE-LOWDOWN.com’s ‘Showcased’ at the rooftop of the Entertainment Quarter carpark. As soon as I got up and saw the sun rising above Maroubra Beach I knew it was going to be an awesome day. The boys gave Zen Garage a (very generous) 6x3m space facing the Sydney skyline, primo spot was primo! Our new tent went up with ease and trading went really well.

The vibe was too good to be true and I was left smiling all night, hey I’m still smiling! Sergio went clubbing the night before and managed to secure visiting American Import Model Jeri Lee and her 2 friends to represent Zen Garage and ALL STARS at the show, the 3 girls brought a massive buzz to our stand once they arrived.

Whilst the show on the rooftop was gobsmackingly otherworldly, the level below doubled as JDMST’s End Of Month Meet (EOMM) and it was so packed that cars had to park a level below below! Some photos are starting to make their way online on Facebook as well as JDMST. I left my camera in my bag as there were just way way way too many amazing cars worthy of a shot (hard work for all the photographers on the day!).

Do-Luck Digital G-Sensor

Posted on 28 June, 2012 by Justin Fox


Specific to BNR32.


The unit.


I’ve left the old G-Sensor unit in there for now, it’s the big gold box.


Next up – got to get to those leaky seals.

My G-Sensor died a while back. The last few times I drove the car it’s been in rear wheel drive only mode (spinning the wheels hard in 2nd = shit my pants moments).

I did some research and found a few people have had their g-sensors die on them. Nissan wants over $1,000 for a replacement unit so many have found ways to fix their existing units but after a tip-off from Xiao, a mate of mine, I ordered a Do-Luck Digital G-Sensor unit from JDMyard which took ages to get here as it’s made to order.

Apparently the increase in sensitivity and reaction rate for this Digital G-Sensor vs. the stock analog unit is 30 times greater than stock. It’s designed to work with sudden acceleration and braking too. IE: once traction breaks this gadget should respond quicker = better handling.

Private Track Day

Posted on 26 June, 2012 by Justin Fox


Real muscle. This beast was so loud you couldn’t hear the guy next to you no matter how loud he spoke.


Rare 2-door WRX, so much love.


Yonas’/JDMyard’s supercharge K-swapped EG Civic was perhaps the fastest car on the day.


Dave’s super clean EG Civic, she’s lovely.


For the win indeed.


My DC2R still blows my mind. 177,000kms and still hitting redline like there’s no tomorrow. She did break down though, wouldn’t start from the pits. It turned out to be a loose alternator cable! Phew!


More than a second quicker than my last outing. I’m happy with that.

Yessss I fucking love Private Track Days. All the track time you could possibly want… you could even track from 9AM-5PM and not ever pit if you wanted to! 20 or so cars, at times there’s some battle fun out there with mates, other times it’s just you, out there alone which makes for a perfect opportunity to crack out a fast lap time.

Today we booked Wakefield Park, more affectionately called “wakies” by track whores. The track was slippery for most of the morning as it rained last night. A shame as the EVO Nats were on the weekend just passed (they would have laid some serious rubber on the circuit). There was a great mix of cars, as expected, no accidents (phew) and plenty of fun.
