Ill let everyone look at my car on saturday and decide if its worthy lol.

ill have to get the front bar resprayed and drop it back down for that tuff look not speed bump beater mode.

Pffft, the car doesn't HAVE to be perfect, just loved! This isn't an AutoSalon-style event where every little detail will be looked at, it's more of a chance to show what you've got, speak to fellow enthusiasts, chill out, exchange ideas, etc.

Can we do something about the "Best Late Classic (R30/R31)" category?

Maybe split the two up to make the "Best Early Classic (pre R30)" , then "Best Classic (R30)" & "Best Late Classic (R31)" to be fair?

Every other model has its own category. I understand that theres not many 30s or 31s around anymore, but if anything that should add to the award.

I've done some considerable work to my daily 31 since the last Show N Shine & it seems tough when an R30 can enter which has been garaged for like 20yrs (which was incredibly tidy & immaculate mind you) & fit the "Classic" title like no tomorrow.

Totally deserves the place, but that then counts the rest of us old-skool boys out.

Maybe even introduce a "Best R31 GTS-R" to match up with the Best GTR category?

But either way, count me in! Again! :)

To quote someone here... possibly Chubbs...

Stone chips are real trophies :P

Hey Dean - I see what you mean, but we have had lots of discussions (read "fights"!) among the committee about classes already. Bottom line is we want to avoid have too many categories so we have tried to keep to groups which will have reasonable numbers of entrants.

The vast majority of cars in the club are r32, r33 and r34 skylines so they got 2 categories each. From there were amalgamated a number of potential categories R30 + R31, V35 + v36 and all pre R30 (about 4 different models).

But in any case, for almost all of us, the SnS is about taking part, not taking home the glass trophy!

    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
