Shannons Wheels 27Th March 2011

[CeJay]

My skyline is looking a bit feral so not sure if I will go.

[Michele]

We'll be going, might try to get a car on the SAU stand this year, probably the silver GTR if I can get nicer wheels to fit over these brakes - Will take the BSM GTR and open wheeler to the SDMA stand.

Unless its p!ssing down rain of course, then I think I will stay at home... I know Im slack.

F1 is on in the afternoon, so unless you're in Melbourne to see it live, you can still come to wheels and watch the F1 in the afternoon

[Melly]

Mine is off the road so I won't be there... Zane probably won't be there either... We might come for a look tho...

[Verms]

So is SAU ACT putting the tent up and placing cars in it?

[Shell]

I think John has the banner... not sure who owned the tent from last time (might have been John as well?)... so I guess if he's going, then the answer is yes.

Otherwise someone else might want to grab the banner, find a tent, and take charge

[StinkyPoo]

I have a tent, it's not the tent tho. And I also have the R31 Skyline Club banner too!

I'm taking the Silvia this year. My R31 and R32 will be defaulted to guard duty at home .

[dorifticon]

So are we any closer to having a final count?

Do we have to do anything in the way of registering beforehand - or is there just a designated area in the park to turn up to?

Also is it in the bit between finance and treasury or is it the park area between the national library and the lake?

[Shell]

It's directly in front of Old Parliament House... that whole area and off to the sides as well.

There's a designated area for Jap crap

And yes, I'm pretty sure we have told them we were coming in previous years.

[StinkyPoo]

I used to email through to them, but the group numbers sent through were never anything like what turned up on the day.

Also, they asked for notice alot earlier, no point sending it through now.

Wow I totally forgot about it until my father called me and asked where I was.

Seems like no one has turned up anyway, bad day for it this year. No one asked for the banner or the tent (yes I have both and they are both club property)

Post up some picks if anyone goes. Otherwise I'll see everyone at the dyno day with hopefully working AFM's.

[GTRKat]

Bad weekend for it I think.

Also keen to see pics if anyone went. I'm home sick this year but had no GTR anyway.

[Randon_I_Am]

I drove past, road was blocked, went to the little car track instead...

[natett]

Im downloading mine now.

was a pretty good day but i agree bad day with the F1.

lets just say you all missed john with RH9 and its huge cams making the car sound like a rotary with the idle so lumpy haha

[StinkyPoo]

What happened?

I turned up in my Silvia, bumped into a couple of people from here but no skylines.

[natett]

[a20089]

Nitros ans Police inspection, always a good combo there

[natett]

serious? the ridiculous idle, cranck evac line, huge 80+mm turbo, 6 point roll cage etc wont give it away before they even bother opening the boot.

PS the guys with john there are firey's

You must have missed the best one:

I took a couple of other photos as well. I was trying to get some photos of the Aston Martin's but it was crowded and people kept walking infornt of them. By the way, there is another thread with photos taken by Nathan.

No thats why I put the smile on it, however technically all those things can be enginered and pass EPA (with a lot of work). NOS is always instant fail.

Wasn't sure about the one in light blue
