I believe I spoke to the owner with a few others, he didn't sound like he got to drive it often enough but I didn't think he was planning to sell it :D

You should see his dyno sheet / engine bay, incredibly nice.

This was my first event with the club , and i loved it.

Weather helded back long enough , but it was a little sad

that more Skylines didn't show up.

A big thanks to all the organizers.

P.S.

I hope this works I'm still new to posting.

Thanks to the organisers, the event was a great success!

It was great putting faces to familiar names on the forum. There is no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon amongst cars and having a good old yarn with fellow enthusiasts.

Some noteworthy observations:

The offset of those VS Work rims on the S14 is absolutely mental and insane - you gotta to love that totally 'slammed' look

The Cortina got the most attention from the general public - especially the 'older' demographics. GO CORTINA!

The multicoloured Titan lip Gram lights 57S-PRO on the R32 GTR was most eye catching

The dramatic arrival of the R32 on Jacks' flatbed truck - I wondered what happened?

The only real contest was the voting for the best R33 GTR

The general respect and admiration that everyone showed towards each other's pride and joy.

thanks to all who came and made it a day!

Matt - (32) Love the wheels (now) it just took me a little bit to get used to at the start, but as always your car looked great!

Matt - (34) Man your car rocks!

Tim and Campbell... well well well..... you guys make the day funny as always!

Yet another awesome SnS. Really had a great time and the location was truely unbeatable!!

Thanks to all who organised the event and to everyone that took the time to polish up their pride and joys and entered.

Those pics are tops, thanks!!

PS: Birds WTF happened!!!

All that talk about you magical wax, etc and you didn't even show!!

You missed out big time buddy :D

GREAT Pics everyone.

There were heaps of camera's floating around and once again, not one bad pic among them!

We will 110% be going back to that venue next year. I will organise more space as well now i have a rough idea of requirements vs car numbers/space.

Should be even bigger next year ;)

hopefully the council can be a bit more lenient on entry/exit times

It's not the council, its just common sense more than anything else. Its a public liability/protection issue.

We can't have cars coming/going in/out all day long.

1. It would be impossible to position cars

2. It would mean someone 'manning' the gate for the whole 6 hrs (boring/unfair to expect)

3. Given there must have been easily 500-700+ people of the public passing through there over the 6hrs... too much chance of something occuring

etc etc. :wacko:

Look at the end of the day if people can't motivate themselves enough to get up by 8:30am on a weekend, and plan their life for 6 hours for a major club event with trophies/awards, that is their problem.

Just means more exposure chance of taking home a trophy for those people who can motivate themselves, and good on them :D

The general respect and admiration that everyone showed towards each other's pride and joy.

Couldn't agree more mate, well said.

sounds like a really good day and turnout. wish i could of made it down to atleast have a look, instead i was stuck inside at work :).

Hopefully next year i have something better then the silvia to enter :)

    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
