Iv been to every one since #12. Its a lot more civilized these days.. which i guess is a good and bad thing :blink:

Night time with a import is still hairy, but can be offset by either car or how big your arms are hehehe. A riceless ride that sound off guts and pops a burnout every now and then still gains some attention of the good kind. Having a car load of massive mates (pref looking like ice dealers) helps a lot too haha

Hey Jon... have you seen the Summernats thread in NSW Events? There are a few coming down and it could turn into dinner on Sat night. I know its late notice, but is it worth trying to get a few more cars there?

I have not seen anyone on these forums that could enter as a full entrant anyway.

You obviously have no idea what youre talking about, i could enter mine, and its far from the most mechanically modded or showy car here, and after being at scrutineering on tues eve, i could even put my ute in, and its dead stock with a couple of gauges and a fire extinguisher.

I know that widebody 32 from here has entered his car a few times, theres more to entering than winning grand champ, things like the dyno comp, driving events, show n shine, being in the top 60, which is what were hoping for with the rod this year, hope it makes it

For the six cars entering remember the following. I plan on being there about 8.30.

Sunday, all vehicles will meet at Dickson College (corner of Antill St and Phillip Ave Watson) between 8:00 and 9:15 am, Once there, Officials will:

Ensure the vehicle is on the attendance list.

Check to see if Vehicle is registered or on valid permit (no unregistered vehicles will be allowed to enter Summernats 20)

Place wristbands on all entrants (max 2 adults and number of children who legally fit inside the vehicle)

Place window sticker on Vehicle

Thank you to John for organising, it was a great day, so many cars on show in the arena that I didn't feel the slightest bit worried about the car.

FYI-Shannons told me that we are insured when we are at Summernats or any show n shine type event unless competing in go to whoa, burnouts, motokhanas etc.

We went as a family with Thomas and Reece as our kids :D

Well what a turn out and a great day. A big thank you to everyone who attended and "risked" their cars. Despite the fears of "Drunk V8 Bogans" damaging cars it turned out to be another car show with a few extra freebies and a lot more stalls.

What a stinker of a day it was, but you know the day will be good when all the V8's get nearly stripped searched before entering NATS and the Skylines just get waived through :-). I believe that is partly due to our social reputation in Canberra helped by turning up in large numbers to cars shows and not being dicks on the road. Of course having someone like Ladybytes as PR (loudmouth?) always helps.

There were quite a few skylines in attendance at the NATS, here's a few:

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
