Hi Guys,

I'm not trying to stir the pot or anything but I'm genuinely interested to know which event is most likely to be attended?

I'll take my JDM R32 GT-R to both events but also want to take my ADM to the bigger event.

I thought there were a couple of hundred cars at Shepperton last year so I'm curious to see how that compares to these two events.

Thanks for any feedback.

Cheers,

Bob.

yeah i will go to both if i can afford it, probably will scrape it in to both.

if could only do one it would be the SAU nats as i already went to shepparton and had a ball, expect similar good times in Goulburn and will probably know more people at the SAU event. That said will probably also have an amazing time at the nationals, both events cant come soon in my books.

gimme an offical sau nat thread now please!

Hands down the skyline nationals is the proven biggest Nationals For Skylines event in Australia, Shepparton had nowhere as many cars as the Skyline nationals in glenelg 2010 (Thanks to the support from SA-SAU)

Skyline Nationals even has a class at the show and shine for AUSDEL R32 GTR's..........

Being a Sydney boy the Skylines nationals would be my pick for making a weekend of it, plus I want to see some of the older classic, I take my hat off to the classic car guys, so much time and effort finding or chasing parts, its not like they can go down the local wreckers and find parts fo most of these cars.

Wouldn't have been far off that Bob.

Track day the entire Winton front carpark was full, so given 60 on the track, dozen support vehicles inside... Rough stab would say 160-170 on the Sat (was cool seeing 5 Bayside Blue 34GTR's all parked next to each other).

The Show'n'Shine has 140 entered as there were 30 or so that turned up on the day, with another 20 or so on the street who's owners chose not to enter and 10 or so on trailers off to the side.

Was a pretty good turnout overall.

SAU Nats this year is also SAU's 10th B'day, so a few added surprises coming :)

If you can go to both, do that. If not, up to you to decide! SAU Nats has 3 solid days of stuff to checkout.

gimme an offical sau nat thread now please!

Thread is up in Nats section - 3 full days of action.

Website undergoing minor improvements based on heaps of feedback and should be done in a few weeks. Entry should follow a fortnight after with a bit of luck.

Yep... 800m runs, if possible 400m as well (just gotta sort it logistically).

All fully timed... With a speed trap and a dirty big read out where the viewing area is so everyone can compare the size of their doddle in real time

Well and truly into 4th dude! Some will be into 5th no problems in a lot of cases (provided they don't break haha).

Should be interesting to see what sort of times some of the cars will do in straight lines over the 800m, reckon there could be a few surprises as well ;)

280km/h roughly based on what the big power cars were doing at Temora1000 last year (they were just over 300km/h if my memory is correct).

They will definitely be hauling ass and it'll make for some great footage for the DVD :)

    • You would probably do a lot better in a claims process then most people. When I called the insurance company, they were surprised I read the pds because according to them almost no one does lol.
    • Yeah it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company tries to pull some argument out of their ass to avoid paying you out.
    • On some cars like MR2 Turbos they're notorious for not letting the wastegate open far enough to avoid overboost, especially certain cheap downpipes. If adjusting "percentage cycle" fixes it then it's just an electronic control issue, not a hardware one.
    • Same.  It's depressing to say this but the skyline can go months on the charger between drives. 
    • I often leave mine connected weeks at a time. The main one I use is the old model of this, it has 2 important features - choose battery chemistry other than lead acid (most of mine are AGM) - power supply mode which you can use to try and recover dead flat batteries as "smart" chargers often don't recognise a dead flat battery is connected https://www.projecta.com.au/products/IC10/intellicharge-10a-bat-chgr The Ctek I  use was meant to have a battery test mode as well but it doesn't work 100% of the time so I am pissed at them. The distributor did everything possible to make warranty and support difficult so I'll stay away in future. The main thing with a "trickle" charger is it has multi stage programs, ie once the battery is full it turns the current right down to just maintain the charge....in the old days we just used real "trickle" chargers for that which had a maximum output of say 500mA which was safe to just leave connected to dumb old lead batteries.
