Don't want to turn it into a circus, but here's some suggestions: A 'Prank' gold coin bucket [for donations towards this forum]. SAU membership forms handy [might sign someone up???]. Bit short notice, but maybe a small add in the Canberra Times 'cars for sale' if there is a next time, not everyone is an SAU/internet member/user. Sponsorship from some of the import businesses would pay for some of this, $10-20 from four or five businesses adds up [you'd probably get your BBQ meat for free]. I don't necessarily agree with all these suggestions [i'm a KISS fan, keep it simple stupid], but they are a start, others may think of more or better or simpler.

No use a tek screw, c'mon make it last.......................

Pats Tyre Service Wagga/Griffith NSW. Had a yack with them and they reckon the AD05 is a parallel import [direct from japan], and that the AVS102 is the same tyre, but supplied by yokohama australia. I ordered a couple, so guess I'll find out..............$390 fitted. Looked at 'carscene' search site and found a photo of the tyre and it is the same tread pattern.

I got AD05's [255/40ZR17] on and have to get 2 newies, hunting around, I'll see what happens.

Then maybe someone will have to play leader and post an early yes/no on this site on the morning of the 12th, so that out of towners [me and ed probably] can check in and will know. Aurora, you seem like an organised sort of fella, I nominate Aurora...............any seconds..............lol sigsputnik, under cover sounds like a good idea as well, there's heaps of undercover parking in that big building on the hill..............and our taxes paid for it. BBQ might be off though, restaurant maybe?????

OK, been away till now, but I have one small but significant question. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT'S RAINING [NOT TALKING DRIZZLE OR SHOWERS]???? Bloody hard to take good photo's in the rain [although everybody will look at them and say 'Oh yeah, thats Canberra!!!]. Do we just pack the brollie and gummies, or will it be postponed etc.....................

Sounds like a plan __________

Thought it kinda sounded outlaw/pirate-ish, wasn't thinkin' of cryin' in my beer, more like the 'who was that masked man?' But anyway, set a date [12th], location, and time, way things are going [no more R series] we'd probably be better off out at the dinosaur museum.................

No, not quite that simple, you need a sender unit and a reciever unit, remember that the steering wheel spins, so a wire connection is not viable. I don't know if you could use a system similar to the horn, which uses rotating contacts??? But even if you could, somebody would have to make it. What system do other cars and the R34 use for steering wheel controls such as stereo, tiptronic gearshift etc I'm really trying to find out if anybody has already done it, and if so, what did they use?

Maybe we'll have to have our own shine and shoot edR34, we'll call it 'the disowned', or 'the unwanted' ..........LOL

The SAU is a big family, thanks ppl, very helpful, and who was it said Canberra was a cold place...........

Thanks I'll give novotel and savilles a call, see what happens...........who's best etc, I like the idea of walking to the show.

I've got a HKS series III evc, its in the usual place on the steering column between the wheel and the dash. Its a pain having to reach to it and switch from high to low boost etc. Has anybody?, can anybody give me an idea on how to rewire it and install a steering wheel mounted switch?.

Not needed till 17th October, going to see Chris Isaak at the Royal [my missus loves him]. Thats a Sunday night, figured I'd cruise over Sunday, it's only 200km, stay the night, do a bit of shopping etc Monday and then head back home Monday arvo. Don't mind paying, as long as the digs are good and the car is safe. Willing to meet up early Sunday arvo for a while, then dinner and CI at 8pm.

GTS_DUY, Thanks, heaps of motels around civic, but i wouldn't know a good one from a rip off one, reckoned somebody on SAU should have a better idea [any idea is better than mine, I have noeyedear]. I might owe ya a beer or three..........................

I'll try to make it, if you have no objections, I'm in NSW, but Canberra is closest.

Have to stay in Canberra soon, was wondering what Motel was the best near Civic. Need some sort of security/undercover parking for the skyline [all your horror stories have got me worried about car, paint and cd player etc]. Any suggestions?????? [no rude ones...............lol].

I'm not in Canberra, but I'm closer to it than any other SAU section, will meet up one day. Pics in the SAU gallery.

one day I will get some, one day.............

check yr brakes aren't glowing, could be a jammed on mc, but more likely to be a clutch. A cat [furry type] thats crawled up under yr car and is cooking on the exhaust. Does it smell like mums sunday roast?????...................lol Also check yr grommets at the firewall, you could be leaking water in under yr carpet [mine was like that when I bought it, idiots had sliced open the grommets to run extra wires, and then didn't seal them up again.

Great big toe..................and a free bump!

Brand of turbo, model of turbo??? If it's a good one, and usually JJ are OK and don't deal in s#*t, you will get 250rwkw, but you'll probably need a hi flo exhaust, FMIC, AM air filter, and possibly larger injectors to do it. The Turbo is basically step 1 of several. When ur finished there u'll need a big clutch, diff, brakes, etc etc...........................

For???? To get an answer I think you'd need more info in your topic. Brand, model no. what car etc etc etc
