wait and see cupcake. lol

weather can change fast. :D

Hi all :) - the sun might come out before sunday but with all the rain we've had over the past week & with whats falling today Auburn Park is going to be muddy paddock on sunday no matter what !!!! - with 100+ cars driving on it after all this rain its going to be a muddy mess !!!! (& the council will freak out!!) - i vote for a postponement NOW !! & give the park a chance to recover & the ground to "firm" up !! - theres NO WAY the ground is going to be solid enough to take 1 vehicles weight without totally f_____g it up !! let alone dozens & dozens - i vote for putting it off & having a FANTASTIC day rather than leaving it for this sunday & having a F---ED one !!!! - m - :(

We will be taking everything into consideration.

At this stage we are looking at 1 July if it has to be postponed.

The condition of the ground where we will be is much better than the attached playing fields. We may be right. What we don't want is for 50 people to say they can't make another day and thus all the effort gets wasted.

yea, u got my vote for the postponement! shud make it on the 24th. just an idea...

Bathurst Cruise is on then. Too many participants from here to call it on that day, there'd be now show n shine left.

I vote postpone 'til first weekend of July.

We really need to think this through. It has been very wet and the rain looks like continuing for days.

The last thing that we want is:

- The park all cut up by the Lines - this would not make good press, They are always looking for something bad to print about Skylines

- With this much water and mud the cars will look like crap anyway

- 100 bogged Lines that we have to get some 4WD's to pull out is not a good look

Postponing the Show and Shine to a later date when the park will be dry is my preferred option - the trick is to pick the right weekend

No matter when the Show & Shine is held as long as the conditions are good (ie:no rain & dry under foot) ill be there 100% - :) - m :(

Will be decided Friday. Will let everyone know. Will maybe also SMS everyone.

Hang tight guys.. Adam will let you all know final decision as soon as he can.

All this rain isn't good for us! BUT good for the drought I guess damm it! :thumbsup:

there wouldn't be a drought if the government could catch all this free water, that way God wont have to take such a giant piss to get Australian nice and green again :D again John Howard ruins the day :)

Jess just told me a couple of hours ago there is a non skyline division for the show and shine. If its postponed i'll definatly enter my red thing, it does have an SAU sticker of course haha

I am 2 km's from the park and it is bucketing down as it has been for the past few hours. I do not like the chances of the ground drying up let alone firming up by Sunday.

Anyone have an SCG 'supersoaker'??

SAU sticker FTW!

In other news. Yes we are postponing to 1 July. I haven't confirmed the date with Parramatta City Council yet but hope to before lunch.

Please tell everyone, post it everywhere. I would rather people got told 10 times than not at all.

I personally think it will be ok but the chance is still there and lots of people may assume it will be crap so 1 July it is.

Please keep the faith by setting aside 1 July and helping us make the biggest Skyline gathering ever.

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
