fair enough but i think that in this thread people are either going to hate the nats or like them so i apologise A20089

but i dont think its a family event when the organisers say it "is"

Thanks Ross, it was her idea and yes probably as a joke. And I fortunatly or unfortunatly probably deserve her.

I agree this is a rougher then usual event for Canberra, but coming from a background of bike rallys the event is calm and relaxed for me. As Michele said they just get in to a pack mentality sometimes. However last year those that went with their cars had no issues unless you count a couple of snide comments upon entry about it being for V8's not fast 4's. Even the Ford XR6 owners get this.

Its a shame that you received such poor behaviour towards your mrs. If your with us next time I'll punch them in the nose for you.

If you don't like the idea of the loud mouth getting a knock in the nose then yes Summernats is not for you, and I agree it is generally not for the typical Canberra family.

I say remove the alcohol and it would be a good show.

Talking about having some fun at the Nats.

Last year I was on the look out for some 18" race spec wheels for the GTR so with the "deals" being done at the nats I thought I'd see what I could find.

Despite being a truckload of wheels at the event there turned out to be no race wheels and extreamly few if any at 10" width. Few understood what a race spec wheel was and looked blankly when asking about forged or an actual weight.

The fun came when they asked for what car, and I obviously said a GTR. The reply was often "ahh.. nothing to suit a Torana" to which the response was "na mate a real perforamce car"

The look was priceless :-)

5 or more years ago the Nats was quite rowdy, the last few years it's tamed down so much especially with the increasing numbers of security.

The Summernats is no different to a weekend nite club in any major city, if you go looking for trouble you will find it, if you arent looking for trouble you won't even see any.

Also about it being an event for the v8 bogans, I think the "v8 bogans" vs "jap ricers" would be nearly identical in numbers if you take into considering all cars in the carpark and cars cruising braddon etc - not just cars located inside the arena. It's quickly changing from a pure v8 muscle car event (majority are 30-50yo's) to a younger tuners event.

I'll certainly be there again this year :)

summernats isnt too bad. but i agree for girls, especially good looking ones, it can be hell, even if they like cars. i reckon if kat went to the summernats with all the guys from SAU no one would try to grab her again.. for fear of a severe beating, then hating :thumbsup:

might go next year, but it IS on the new years which is fail

You jest surely, have you seen most of the SAU guys, not exactly bulked compared to all the bear swilling yobbo's. Most of SAU's are like the cars, light weight and lean. Saying that I'm sure JD and I could take several on at once ;)

You still reading sometimes JD?

Forgot the bit how we are faster off the line, and the fact they will be drunk and end up hitting their own mates instead. Just spill their beers and they will kneel down and cry.

I dunno John,

I reckon if we take Viet he could protect us all! :D

Not to mention our resident SAU thug James (DriftGTS).

    • Would be good in your car I reckon Johnny. Have seen reports they don't seem to love circuit use and sustained high RPM, but there's so many variables and implementations it's hard to tell fact from fiction.  All that said, is it worth it in this car given how you feel about it? Probs not? 
    • I don't know specifically. I *do* know that it is very likely that historically most/all undertray replacements remove the inner liners and people just run without them. When you are hectic (or serious) enough to really want/need a different undertray, you are probably also running wider, taller or different offset wheels and the guard liners are the first thing that rub (or as I said in the other thread, they blow out at high speeds anyway) Of course, that is before the pricing went nuts on R34s, nowdays it is much more likely people want/expect to retain the liners to protect their overall investment
    • Haven’t had a chance to drive it properly yet. It was rwd and pissing down rain when I drove it home and now it’s in the air with the so I can change the oil. Going to do the  gearbox oil while I’m at it as well, may even do the diffs 
    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.
