Cracking event guys, thanks so much.

Got my 12 year old daughter to pick her top three;

R31 GTSX

I went to get food at Fiddler and came back too late oops.

Also the stocker headlights I threw on the car earlier in the year (to pass rego check) were whack. First time I drove it at night in years and bloody hell the factory projectors are garbage. Didn't help that I didn't aim the lights. I better get cracking on retrofitting these headlights I have...

Thanks to SAU for putting the event on, and it was great to catch up with some old faces for the first time in ages (and yes, there was a fair bit of shady glancing "is that....." :))

Are you calling my face 'old' ?

Thank you to everyone who came!! It was a great turnout, and so far, all the feedback I’m getting is that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! 
 

Apologies to those I didn’t get to catch up with and say hi… 😔

This was great fun, thanks @sammi_d and others for organising! Great work on that!

Here are some photos from us as well. Unfortunately no photos of the stands or the other models.

Good choice on the potato corner food truck! When we got there Jen was like "Oooooo, is that potatoto corner!?!". Stuff the Skylines, potato corner is the real attraction. Apparently it is a known entity in the food world. It was good, though I could already feel the heart disease developing working through my melted cheese on cheddar combination. It was also fluro orange.

Don with the full Kendo gear was incredibly zen. Makes me want to have a go at Kendo. Seems like it may be one of those martial arts that are seem useful in everyday life.

Jen drew a winning number in the raffle. Great timing as I had ordered a fire extinguisher from Mitre10 just a few days before. Ended up going there to pick it up and return it straight away.

I also felt slightly socially retarded going up to Duncan and going "EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU DUNCAN?!". Might try again next time with less awkward :D

Definitely looking forward to the next one though!

Fully agree with your daughter there. The 31 was my favourite as well. The frontend is just chef's kiss. It was very wholesome as well as the owner never saw the award for it coming.

speaking of which, where were you and the bogan mobile?

Down in your neck of the woods, visiting my daughter in Goulburn

    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
