Hi guys,

Along with AJD Adelaide in late Feb, and AJD Sydney in November, we're considering dates in April for a Melbourne event if you guys are keen to have us over there.

Anyway, we wanted to get discussion rolling, and start looking at venues. Albert Park was mentioned as one of them, as was Caribbean Gardens.

If you have any suggestions for where and when, we're all ears :)

Cheers

Kristian

Albert Park would be suitable as it associates with the Grand Prix being there, hence the car theme.

Would be more central so it would be easier for the people from the West / North to get there.

Caribbean Gardens is in the South East.

Parking there is mostly grass and gravel, Albert Park is mostly asphalt unless we park on the grass land areas.

Either area suites me fine as I'm from the East.

CG is FAR east... 30kms/30mins from CBD (if you take the toll roads).

40mins+ without. So you'll not get anyone from the west with any ease as it's over an hour.

Albert P will work - IF you can organise it, meaning the council are a mega PIA to deal with :)

Depends if you want a grass of asphalt surface.

The Toyota Car Club of Victoria ran its first Classic Japan day not too long ago and was a big success. Entries were limited to classic vehicles, however there are big plans for next years event which will welcome modern jap aswell as other various forms of JDM supporters (classic motorbikes, apparel etc).

Not trying to put a downer on this possible event at all but there wil definantly be atleast one big JDM Japan show'n'shine on next year. Just thought i would lewt you guys know! :)

No real point so to speak of, was just to let others know. In recent years there hasn't really been a big modern jap show for victoria. Just hope they dont clash is all, but highly unlikely.

I think Albert Park would be harder to arrange with the local council and they are pretty well against anyone parking on the grass, it's also a little painful to access without driving through the city which isn't good for visitors with borderline roadworthy vehicles .. on the other hand Caribbean Gardens is easy to access from any direction even if it is a little bit of a drive for people way out west (but surely its worth the drive?) and has a lot of nice grassy areas and more relaxed requirements that would suit a car show well.

Otherwise if you prefer a tarmac surface and want something in the city then there is always that area near docklands where the failed "car fair" was for a few weeks. It's just under the Bolte Bridge and around the corner from CostCo. I am not that keen myself but it could be worth putting on the table for a vote.

      App to track mods, repairs etc.

      Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com

      Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com

      It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
