I have never been to one would love to meet some of the guys from this forum. i am stripping my 30 back in the next month for a respary and the interior is going to my mate at the same time for a full retriim might be a good chance to get it out for a drive, im in ACT do many other people travel for it or is it mainly melb and adelade people?

I'm still keen on going, but only if there will be a decent amount of OLD SCHOOL. Really don't want to rock up to a R32-R34 convention. I'll go by train with car on board. What accomodation did you tee up D, somewhere close to the action?

ive got a friend or 2 in Radelaide so i can stay there. should have 'mandie' in some sort of shape by then as ive just got a new crane job. ive pretty much put the project on hold since like july last year until now. woo!!

In 2006 we had - 1 R33, about 4 R34's

In 2008 we has - about 5 R33, and about 6 R34's,

and both events had nearly 100 cars

so the classics will be well represented

Cool! Partay at Dr Josh's place!

Got room for a tent?

Maybe not for me!

I'll probably be too busy catching up with the lost tribe at the Glenelg.

I'm overnighting at Mildura on Wednesday 8th, plan on being at the Glenelg about 1500 on 9th, do the sites before check-in Friday 10th & departing for home & probably via Wagga Wagga Tuesday morning 14th.

Hope to see you all there in your finest style.

MAG's maybe you might want to RV at Wagga Wagga enroute about 0700/0800hrs on 8th.

Cheers, D

Since I live in Adelaide I will be there, just unsure on whether my car will be there at this point in time.

Im about in the same boat...the house will be finished in the next month or so then im pouring some money into the car...hopefully have it back on the road this year!

Adelaide is the R33 capital of Australia :)

Last SAU cruise I went on in a mates DR30 we felt completely out of place, we even got asked to move so all the 33's could get a group photo :D:) Sad but true

I'd like to go but i dont know if the old (stock as) C210 will make it there, i just wanna see all the skylines, particularly, C110,C210 &C211s.

Might take a flight over if money and time is nice to me.

Put it on a trailer like I'm going to do with the PNV.

Cheers, D

and pay a mobile mechanic to follow :)

just need to keep a lot of tools with me and belts etc and it should be fine.

Im told C210s are really good for highway cruising because of their gearing, im pretty sure its true, it does well.

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
