Confirming I have purchased the soft drinks for the event and will be bringing an esky & ice.

Price $1.50 each, officially for "club" members and friends only (but we are very friendly, aren't we?)

Can we confirm the tent will be there???? and at what time. Does someone need assistance setting it up or marking our area?

I'm planning on coming out for a look but not early so we'll have to work something out to get it beforehand.

I talked to Mick about the Tent at the Dyno day, he is still bringing it, not 100% sure on the time. I'm sure he'll say, at Marques we didn't have the tent set up until 9:30-10, and no one got too burnt by the sun before then.

My mobile currently is fuba, but I will see if I can get a cheap replacement before the show if anyone has to call me. In regards to order, im not really fussed, perhaps we can arrange them by 32's 33's etc etc. Our arrangement was ok at Marques. Probably a good idea to park the cars back to back again as well. Seemed to work well at Marques.

I will have the Federal tent out there at about 9 - 9:30, I would like to be there earlier but this is the only time I have available to get into work to pick it up.

I will need help to set it up as it takes at least 3 people to do it properly... Plus my back is buggered.

I will have some chairs but not a lot so bringing your own seating is advised.

See you all there! :blink:

A BIG! thanks to Cejay for organising this year, it is all well planned and looks to be a great day, but it will be a HOT day.

As Cejay said (and a lot of this is a summary of Cejay’s excellent work), could we please have everyone meet at the museum between 8am and 8:30 to leave as a group to go to the show. It looks great when we all turn up together. If you can't make it at that time turn up to the show when you are able, but no guarantees there will be space.

It would be good if we can leave the museum and park in the R31-32-33-34-35? order. (or vice versa)

If you need to leave early, that is fine, but please try and park so you have an easy way out.

Park in two rows, with the rear of the cars facing each other. Please leave some room for the tent, it is big.

If you are able to, bring your own seats to sit under the tent.

I have the banner from Shell (who I have under good authority will be making a guest appearance). I also have lots of soft drinks and ice, but please bring your own water.

Remember to bring a camera, a hat and sunscreen.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Thanks for that John, yeah that's pretty much it, since Baconer can't make it in the morning, anyone else able to make it? to turn up early? I don't think it'll be a big issue, I may end up turning up early at the museum and then head off to the display early, if no one else puts their hand forward. Will be spending most of today cleaning the car lol.

If we already have a set area chosen by Shannons Wheels People, does anyone really need to turn up to claim it early?

Also i managed to do most of the work i needed to do on Sunday today but still, i live the furthest away (with the exception of trident) so not too keen on the 45 minute drive + 30minute early show up time :P.

ALSO, i want to go on a skyline cruise to the event haha

      Hello, Newbie, anyone know my 32's history?

      Welcome Leigh. While it's possible someone knows something about your car, there are so many in the country, it's likely they won't. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find the knowledge you seek here.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
