Very good to see this thread degrade in just 2 days!

Excellent ;)

Anyone got any theme ideas?

I like Snow's Godzilla plan - see if we can rent a suit :D

I have all the PS2 link hardware from last year if we want to do that again. Having a PC to show the website is an excellent idea - might be worth a wardrive to see if there's some wireless bandwidth we can poach!

Would be great to have some floor-coverings and fences this year (although driving around the city stealing witches hats at 2.00am was kinda fun) - something cheap and easy.

I can investigate staging rental costs also - it would be great to have some plasmas showing event footage etc - so maybe it could be good to look into some support/sponsorship possibilities?

T-Shirt slogan ideas?

Ni's avatar 'It's all about the lights' isn't bad, 'teh GTR can nevar loose', 'you drive skyrine?' - we can go crazy :D

What about speaking to the guys at NDSOC and seeing if we can't borrow one of the Gibson R32's. They've had them at a few of their events. Then we can have the slogan "Discriminated for Being Too Good!"

Hey we could even set up a pclaptop running a powerpoint slideshow of event pic's too. Lol, I like "You drive skyrine" James, dunno if the asian population would take to it though ;) I reckon we need police tape to block off the cars, would go nice with a "defected theme" :D

Plain black cloth would be ok for a floor covering, wouldn't bee to expensive to buy, maybe someone from here knows someone in the biz?

As for net access and hardware I can supply all the gear from work.

also if we got some fake defect stickers made up and a sign like in my avatar it would be funny as.

I guess with the floor covering it's more a case if you cant walk on it you cant get near the car which is a good thing? Maybe some sort of blue covering and sum fluffy white stuffing to make a sky like apearence, would go well with a "skyline" theme. Defect stickers would be cool too. How about "SAU's the name and smokin' local's is the game!" :D

thats lame...  

the defect stickers are a good idea.. just like make fake ones up or something..

i had my one scanned if any 1 wants to bother re printing or copying it. just ask ill send the jpg.

Didn't MCCR go with the defect theme last year?

Mind you... Do we really want to make a point of 'being defected'?

Maybe it's just me but I hate having that thing on my car. Makes people thing there is something wrong with the car and/or the driver. Kind of a negative 'flaunt the law' attitude.

Perhaps I'm over sensitive about it... I just think we could come up with something more positive. Just my 2c

Maybe a race theme? Ron and Greg (KPGC10 guys) have a Gibson R31 race car - and are keen to have it on the stand...

LMAO!!

but yeah if anyone has some footage i want it... i wanna put premier to good use and try and use it

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
