I have entered at the nats, entered last year didn't have any probs you just have to stay away at night and don't go round the back road later on.

^^ i remember last year i was at the shell servo entrance seeing your 32 go past, my mouth dropped! i believe the words were "God daaayum!" widest 32 ive ever seen!!!

Yeah I saw Leigh hook a left as well..... are you mad? :P

Was a good night, I think we picked the right time to leave as well..... I didn't realise that just about every car that drove down lonsdale street could be "randomly" inspected. Funnily enough I didn't really see any car all night put a foot wrong.

Some nice cars though, we saw Rumble, a white R34 GT-R, one white and two red R34 GT-t's, too many R33's to remember, a few 32's (2 silver GT-R's among them), ran into Nick and Ewan, etc etc.

Tomorrow night should be a cracker.....

My nasty mother-in-law gave me a season pass for christmas. :)

So I guess I'll have to go then.

It was great to see so many cars out tonight, just wish that all those awesome local cars would come out more often.

Hope to see a good turnout at the museum tonight before hitting braddon (and the pubs)!

As per my annual routine,we'll be eating at the restaurant on the roundabout in the middle of Lonsdale St (Da Cellini's...)so we can kick back and enjoy the show. I've got one spare spot,seating wise(Leech,you get first dib's,as you posted up your interest first!);we'll be there from 6.30 with a mixed bag of SAU'ers,Ducati owners,a few V8 nuts and me + E:all good peeps...

Beacause i was sitting on the arse of two police officers on motorbikes that went straight through that round about who i caught up to a little two quick. I just went straight through the roundabout anyways i didnt turn down into the ques :)

Leigh why did you turn left at the round about into the the dead lock traffic and breath tests lol :P

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
