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.

    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
    • Well, it is an unusual noise. Use a 2 foot long bit of garden hose stuck in your ear as a stethoscope to pin it down to a definite location. We'll never work it out across the internet.
