Ok Guys this is the first vote set up for when people want to go for a trip camping/cabining. The place with the most votes will be the first area I will try to see if we can get in.

Whether we make it 1 or 2 nights will be determined at a later date, it may be possible to have 2 runns, 1 lot arriving on friday & another saturday.

If you have any additions, comments, questions etc. & for more info please go to the main thread:

Edit: Nightcrawler has done some ringing around & found out that virtually nowhere is available in January. So for now just pick any date when voting, the finalised weekend will have to be determined at a later date

Cheers

I definitely vote against Jan 6-7 (most people end of holidays and still recovering from Xmas/New Year), and Jan 27-28 (Aus Day long weekend - xtra traffic etc plus miss out on the cricket). Either of the other weekends sound good.

Victor will be way too busy to get a large group of people accommodated, as likely will Goolwa. Mannum is boring as bat shit, as is Normanville. I vote Stansbury as I have never been there and wouldn't mind checking out the fishing!

I have emailed the Stansbury Caravan Park to ask for costs of cabins and availability in Jan. I am sure those that wish to camp can do so next to cabins.

ah crap nice call .... yes I definitely won't be missing Schitzenfaced! We should do an SAU meet-up again this year (the last 2 years have been awesome) - I might make a new post!

sorry but wtf is Stansbury? >_<

I voted for Mannum coz its a nice drive up the windy rd, into the big horse, tungkilo, the museum and the cool breeze of the mighty Murray @ Mannum, a boat trip also with some beer :D

anytime, but get it happening

Should have added an "Any of the above" option for all of them, as I'm only really fussed about the date...

Hell yeah, you know I'm there, shame I can't be as lecherous this year now I have missus, unless... hahaha!

Make that post as a lot of people will disappear over xmas / new year and it'll end up organised in a rush if you wait til afterwards.

well I just got an email back from Goolwa and Stansbury caravan parks and both are fully booked for the whole of January, as it is school holidays (and I'll bet every caravan park is the same). I vote we move it to February.

Its oyster bay silly :wave:

yorke peninsula....virtually due west from adelaide over the gulf

lol :glare:

thanks

yorke would be good

tent/cabin? cant we do a day trip?

Id only be staying the night if I could get a cabin for my family of 4, unfortunately. Dont have an easy2assemble 4berth tent or airbeds etc....... Id mainly be in it for the cruise, and to say gday and all that.

Otherwise a cruise, drinks, eats, etc and then a solo drive back home might be on the cards for my family.

I voted Normanville - beaut place. Some nice roads around there too, generally "enforcement-free" too.

edit: unless I leave the wife and kids at home and sleep-over in the Stagea =)

Would be interested 20th onwards any weekend any where. would be good to catch up n meet a few guys from here. lol but are girlfriends invited to? or is this a men only weekend?? :D

Well we're not exactly a mens club are we?? :D Naah not a guys weekend it's a Skylines weekend (though we're not really discriminating there either). Women are more than welcome, single women even more so :D.

I guess it would have been a better idea to actually just establish the most popular location first & then figure out the date. Sounds like Jan's out, should have know I guess being summer & school holidays. Thanks for doing the legwork Andrew.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
