I can finally confirm the Show'n'Shine is ready to rock and roll.

It has been on the event Calendar for a couple of months, however final confirmation was only just received.

Date: Sat 21st Nov

Time:

Move in 9am-10am

Move out 3pm-4pm

This will be a static car display. You cannot come in later then specified, or leave earlier than specified.

Your car must be on display, and stationary for the duration of the Show'n'Shine due to the nature of the area and public safety requirements.

Location: Waterfront City, Docklands

Entry is via Pearl River Road - refer to map below for details, "X" marks the spot where Marshals for the event will be waiting @ 9am

There is a Tram Stop right out the front as well, Route 30 or 48

Car Limit: A limit of 80 cars is the MAX for this event. Should we run out of room sooner (due to larger cars), we will have to close the gates.

Obviously, Members only. Anyone from the public is more than welcome to come along and checkout the display, however you will not be allowed to enter your car.

How To Enter:

Upon entry onto the grounds you will be greeted by one of our Committee members and given directions.

If you wish to have your car in the Show N Shine and be eligible for voting you must notify our team.

You will be given a "Vote for me" sheet to place on your car with your details upon arriving.

Prizes and Awards:

Trophies will be awarded for "Best in Show" in the following main categories:

• Godzilla class (32, 33, 34 GT-R, one for each) & Best overall GTR

• Godzuki class (31, 32, 33, 34 GTS/GTT one for each) & Best overall GTS/GTT

• WRC class (WRX, Evo)

• Dorifto class (Silvia platform)

• Intruder class (other)

Use of facilities:

The following must be adhered to by all Members attending the day

- Strictly walking pace for cars, hazard lights ON at all times whilst in motion.

- No loud engine revving, starting of engines once stationary, silly compressor nuisance noises.

- No unwanted behaviour on (or when leaving) the park grounds.

- No dumping of rubbish.

IF members do not adhere to the above rules, Committee may ask you to leave. Keep in mind the club will be in the public spotlight and stupidity will not be tolerated.

Other Info:

- Bring whatever you may require for the duration, seats, hats etc. There is no leaving once you are in position until the end time of the show.

- The Piazza has PLENTY of food/beverage stores around, you will not need to go far for any requirements there.

- And issues on the day, see the people in Hi-Vis vests immediately.

Apologies for the late notice, I've only been advised of this

All cars must be Road Registered. So no towing race cars without some sort of rego.

Any questions please post up - see everyone there.

Cheers

Ash

Also guys, this is an absolutely fantastic location...it's right in the middle of the shops/restaurants, so rest assured we will be receiving ALOT of attention from the public :)

There is no "signups" as such guys, its a case of whoever the first 80 are there, get in.

That said, we've never had 80 cars to a S'n'S in any year, thus far.

Closest we have come to 80 was in 2006 @ Birrung Mar. We had approx 65 form my rough counting of a photo.

So allowing for a bit of club growth, few more cars etc, the 80 'cap' should get everyone in is what i am hoping for here.

I just have to cap it due to space issues as i cannot use the entire pier due to restrictions of the venue chosen this year.

Not much notice, but I will try and get the R ready ;)

It's been on the Events Calendar for nearly 2 months now :)

So there has been plenty of notice. This is just the "details" thread.

You don't need details to lock a date into your calendar and/or get prepared do you? :D

I urge everyone to check the calendar regularly! I was unable to announce sooner due to a few issues with the venue/contacts etc.

Best i could do this time, ideally i would have had it up 2 weeks ago with further details.

I also announce things when i can @ General Meetings - pity attendance has been... 'lacking' of late :bunny:

LOL Ash brings out the claws. It's true though guys, if you come to general meetings more often / print out the calendar then you will have all the notice you need.

Ash are you going to put down the list of attendance somewhere in this thread?

We have a committee meeting tonight - so i will bring that up.

Being you'll need to be a paying member to be covered by insurance, non-members won't be able to get out onto the Pier, we won't be letting anyone without a membership to move/enter a car.

In.

Just as long as the car is there it is entered correct?

Reason I ask is I may not be bringing the car down personally.

should be plenty of spectating paying members to drive your car in. fits within the guidelines. (as your a member also)

    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
