Depending on our numbers on the day I thought maybe have two or three rows of cars, if we can line them up infront of the trees. Open to suggestions. Or can just figure it out on the day really.

Oh yeah... Was that before I had the new suspension in it?

Must have been, I just looked at the photos from last year and there's one of yours and Emily's cars and yours is as low as it is now.

Trying to arrange everyone in a particular way most likely won't work, what with the amount of comings and goings there tends to be.

Rows and back to back with someone else would probably work best, at least that's what I've noticed from past years.

Mick,

if i can get my car down there, you can get yours down there too. theres not that much difference between our car's ride height. last year they had some pretty low riding cars get in, so i cant see yours being a problem. if i recall correctly dont they have an official there to guide you up or tell you to stop if your going to scrape or bottom out?

You have to admit... Its a dumb idea having so many show / street / race cars all in the one place if you dont have good access though.

Once you've driven through the dust your nice clean car gets a fine brown film all over it. :P

Have you upgraded since the teins, cos I remember they were in it then.

It'll probably be really tight if there's going to be more cars.

Probably try to stick with two rows, side by side, back to back, that way people can come and go. I can even bring a string if you really want to make it pefectly lined up, like the japs do.

If your really tricky, you could even try and put an angle on the cars!

Nope, Im still using the TEIN's... I cant remember last year, I keep remembering the year when I had the R31.

My memory is fading with age :thumbsup:

Ill be there, but only in the troopie. I got stuffed around and ive been put back 2 days which leaves me shit out of luck. So I can take the bbq in the back of the troopie. Not happy Jan.

A mate of mine wants to tag along with us in his new Streamliner is that ok with u guys? its like this one but his is yellow

If he wants to tag along I don't mind. Just a note to everyone by the way. If you want to go on the cruise in the morning to John Knights Park you will need to meetup at the Futsal Carpark at Lake Burley Griffin, thats basically on the opposite side of the bridge to where Floriade is normally held. Probably leave there are 8:30ish or so. I'll probably be at John Knights Park early to see if I need to set anything up.

Also at this stage I am not buying any meat etc for a BBQ, as not much interest has been expressed. If you guys want one, speak up now.

that sucks :( if youd like a lift you can come in mine man

Mick will be turning up with the federal tent around 9:30 /10am. If anyone has some tent pegs and rope to secure it on the day that'd be good. Apart from that I don't think anyone will be too fussed if everyone isn't lined up 100% right. It does sound like a good idea to have a few rows of the cars backed up against each other. I think we did that at the Shannons wheels expo earlier on in the year.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
