So, another new year is upon us,

which means another Summernats is upon us,

which means than stuff happening in Braddon and the city every night is, err, upon us.

Anyway, as with the last couple of years, we'll be out to check out what's happening.

So, to kick off, Frink and myself will be heading out tonight (probably every night). Tonight will be the quieter night of the bunch but Nats Wednesday is usually about 50x busier than Braddon on a normal Friday night anyways.

We shall be at the museum at 8:30 thhis evening if anyone wants a common spot to meet up and we can head in from there, maybe do a quick round to see where the best spots are, then park and go in for a proper look.

In the past we've found it's not best to drive round all the time, it's easier to attract the attention of the po po even though you're not doing anything wrong and you tend to see more on foot anyway.

Any takers - museum at 8:30.

Pretty good, got off to a quiet start though

Luke and I got there at 8:30, no one there so he went home, I hung around with Bullbar, Stinkypoo & GT-Passage, we headed back in and it was picking up. Plenty of nice cars driving around, you more or less couldn't park on Lonsdale St when it was at it's busiest.

We ended up leaving around 11:30, so yeah it ended up being pretty good.

Few Skylines about, including a horn Bayside Blue R34 GT-R with gold GT-C's.

Tonight should be much busier though.

Ok, we're going to try and get into the city around 7 tonight, to try and get a park on Lonsdale St.

We'll swing past the museum around then to see if anyone wants to join us a bit earlier.

Frink and I are thinking of getting in there about 6pm tonight.

We'll trying to get the same parking spots as last night, for anyone that's coming and wasn't there last night, it's the main roundabout in the middle of Braddon, and we're going to try and get the spots on the corner in front of the used car place opposite Gregorys Ford. The parking spots there are pretty good and it's minimal fuss if you need to leave.

Oh, and PS - Ignition DVD is meant to be out tonight too...

      I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3

      I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
