just came home from the show but will head back there tonight.

apart from the nice cars this year, there are some serious big $$$ tuff bikes on display

When I get a moment, I'll try and post up pics of the bikes cause I'm sure others will post up plenty of car pics

don't know about that Ken.....some nice old school toranas, monaros and the 1933 ford show stopper (just to mention a couple)

There's a blue XU1 and 383 Monaro near the Jimmy Tools stand that you must see.....the XU1 is owned by a female and is the straightest car you'll ever see in your life.

Her boyfriend that owns the 383 next to it took 5 years to build her car and 7 to build his and hasn't taken any shortcuts whatsoever.

If we only appreciate the bling factor, we'll walk straight past these kind of cars without asking any questions and never really appreciating the engineering that's gone into making them an absolute work of art.

Sorry guys Im going to have to pull out of tomorrow, as most of you know I blew my turbo last weekend but I was going to drive it to EHP anyway (hell I drove it for 2.5 hours from Loxton to Gawler like it - havent touched it all week) but upon doing some things for the show today, and checking my fluids Ive discovered oil where oil shouldnt be... So I think its best to let it sit until it has a new huffer, I pick up my HKS 2530 late next week. Sorry again guys.

edit: Im going to go tomorrow, I called Geof and he said to come before the gates open and I can still get my entrants bag and passes etc.

MR VLT is pretty impressive, 2spd auto sounds weird as though.

TRUST 6 was awsome, stealth as.... then he opend the bonnet.

Sure was, I heard it outside lol

Was that your R33 reversed up against the fence in the carpark?

Had a great day, congratulations to Chad, Anthony and Damo for thier power figures on the dyno and big thumbs up to Anthony's R32, what a transformation!

Saw most of the SAU regulars around the place, some wicked cars in there, will definately go again.

Also it was good to meet Matt and eye off his beast of an R33 :)

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
