Hi everybody!

http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/shannons-wheels-2008

Wheels is only a month away and we aren't organised yet. Last year we had an awesome turn out and even had a 35 GTR!

Now I know it is a big ask, but it would be great if we could actually drive in together in order. It makes life so much easier (ask John who had to move his car about 11ty billion times) and you only need to get up a bit earlier.

Can anyone who is coming be at the boat ramp by 7.30 to give us some time to organise and leave by 8am sharp!

Don't forget plenty of water and sunscreen!

Hey Mr Federal, do you have a tent we could borrow?

I have emailed the organisers to let them know we are coming, so don't let the side down!

Can everyone who is coming put their name and model (car, not the one you like the most):

1- Donnan 32 GTR

im going to assume that its the boat ramp where we meet on friday nights.. and yes for all of those people who have not been there during the day there is a boat ramp off to the left when you drive towards where we meet (near the restaurant)

Stupid question, but do we need to fill out and submit the entry form? I'm going with yes, but I'm getting the impression we might not?

On second assessment, the entry form is dated 2009....question still remains, though the form itself is invalid lol

After some light skim reading on the site, I'm still not sure what this actually is.. What day is it being held on? And how much time will it take up in total? Do our cars have to be in pristine condition or is a mangled front bar and a dirty engine bay acceptable? Sounds like it might be worth taking a day off work for.

It is a colection of car "clubs" that put on a free stactic car show for Canberra. It takes from when you turn up to when you leave, normally people leave around 2pm but earlier is OK. It does not matter the condition of the car, however most owners take some pride in washing the car for the day. You can keep the bonnet down.

It's worth going if only once.

I can never be bothered to do all the cleaning stuff on my own. Someone want to meet up the day before and double team our cars? I used to detail cars so I'm pretty handy with it. Don't care if it's just a wash, vacuum and polish or a full rejuv of plastics, shampooing of carpets and detailing of engine bay. Any takers?

I would say yes I'm keen, but oh god after doing it previously, and the condition of my paint....no thanks lol....I'd rather pay through the teeth for it to be done while I wander around Westfield belco for a few hours :D

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
