go to maccas on ring rd..its not like its far from northern..

Not a bad idea. Wondering if its OK to meet at Albert Park for the people from the inner suburbs and from the north?

I suggest people bring warm, waterproof jackets and an umbrella if you're feeling adventurous...If today is anything to go by it could be a wet night tomorrow, and there isn't exactly cover at Albert Park. Hopefully its not a wet night but we'll have to wait and see!

Basti said he rather be sprawled across someones front lawn, drunk as a fck while clutching black label than catch up with the usual sau people......

I've just come back from Albert Park to check out the carpark situation.

The meet point will be in the big carpark (its huge) which is pretty much immediately to your left when entering Aughtie Dr via Albert Rd.

I've got no idea what it'll be like on a Friday night, but there was a few cars there tonight, although still plenty of space.

Again, there is no cover at Albert Park so unfortunately if its raining it won't be ideal for a meet but we'll make the best of it anyway.

On a more serious note: This is not an official club event, hence non members being allowed to attend. However, one thing remains the same and that is that no idiotic driving will be tolerated by myself or Allen Paul. Anyone seen being stupid or driving like an idiot will have their club membership suspended or revoked (even if you just signed up on the night) and any non members may find themselves dealing directly with the police.

It may sound harsh, but 30-40 Skylines draw enough attention without people driving like idiots. It's cold, the roads are wet, and you will be driving in a large pack of cars. You are not impressing anyone by trying to be a hero so don't try.

Myself and Allen will remind everyone attending what is expected of them in terms of behavior prior to leaving the east and west meet points. At the end of the day its for your own benefit as well as everyone else attending. We will be driving through Albert Park, but the GP has come and gone, so lets all just enjoy a nice leisurely drive with some good company, and keep the rest of it for the track.

See you all tomorrow night for what is looking like a big one! :geek:

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
