Butler - we decided not to enter this show as we wanted to focus on Drag Combat and Western Salon. Plus its mainly a holden/ford show with the burnout comp etc etc :( not really an imports audience. But good to hear a few went out there to show the trevs up!

There was more R31's than 32's or 33's :(

Saturday/night was by far the best, some of the best fun in my life, awesome time, Sunday kinda sucked though, or maybe that was cos I was hung over...

Pity the non holdens/fords in the burnout got no attention, A silvia, a SR20 1600, and a stanza, and they all did pretty good, the SR20s seemed to get hot pretty quickly, and it would always be harder using a manual in a burnout comp, and turbos aren't as loud...

there was a black R33 S2 doing some pretty good burnouts in the supercruise today, aswell as all the 31's at various times of both days :)

Hopefully my car should be turbo by next year...If I'm allowed in at all, I heard only the best cars will be allowed in next year, not first in first served, hmmm

I went on Sunday and didn't think it was nearly as good as last year.

But, there were some very very sweet cars there. A couple that stood out for me, whilst not being imports (but then again this is Motorvation not Autosalon) .. was a red VU ute slammed on big rims with highly reflective tint all round ... and a VL turbo with a Walky kit, 20" rims and awesome paint job :)

okie dokie, thats fair enough. i understand what u mean by mainly a ford and holden show, all i could hear the whole time i was there was grumbling v8's and spinning tyres :wassup: ..but also the bov on that blue turbo calias ..must admit that was nice!

I don't think he got to take it, i caught him just as he was about to, he was a good boy though, he didn't realise it was me till I turned round then went "oh sh*t, sorry" and put his camera down.... respect to TJ for that :-)

He realised it was me when I let out an almighty..... TEEEEEEJAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Well.. I think I've finally gotten all the photos sorted for HighOctanePhotos.com from MV2005....

From 7063 photos, taking up 8.8 gigabytes of space, i've cut it down to approximately 1600 photos... (I know, I should be more selective, I've still got double ups in there and stuff like that) Anyway, thats ~900 photos from Friday night and Saturday, and ~700 photos from Sunday alone...

I've split it up into 2 albums to make it kinda managable, but still, it's gonna take a fair while to get thru em all...

You can find the 2 albums at http://www.highoctanephotos.com/motorvation (which will take you to the generic Car Shows page, and the 2 Motorvation 2005 albums are at the top of the page.)

Because I know how long it will take to look thru the whole lot, after all, I've just done it, I'm putting up some of my favourites at www.LandBarge.com , which I'm picking out as I go thru, adjusting the colour balance, cropping em and then resizing em (HighOctanePhotos.com images are just taken straight from the camera, resized, stamped and uploaded, so some are a little dark, but can be corrected, or would look better with cropping...)

Anyway, the LandBarge.com overview of MV2005 can be found starting here: http://www.landbarge.com/Events/20050114_M.../MV_2005_01.htm it's 2 pages at the moment, and is a work in progress.. I'm not much of a writer, but I'm trying to fit a few words in between the photos, and I'm also putting in new photos as I find them, and keeping my mind open to removing some that don't make the grade when stacked up against the new additions...

      Wheel offset has me confused.

      By IXMandalorianXI · Posted

      I should clarify that the previous owner put the wheels on, so Im not entirely sure what he bought. I was searching the Rota page and found these two as the only matches. It did not occur to me that perhaps they sell these wheels with different offsets. I guess the best way to solve this is to take the wheels off and measure them from the inside to be sure.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The offset doesn't really have anything to do with dish directly. I mean it kind of does but it also doesn't, it's only tangenial. The offset is purely how much offset (get it) the mounting face is from the CENTER of the width of the rim. I.e, the mounting face would be directly in the middle of the 9.5inches if it was a 18x9.5 ET0 rim. Given it is a +12 rim, the mounting face is 12mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). Your fronts are +30, so the mounting face is 30mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). I would wager this doesn't look right, because most skylines generally have the same with guards front to back. So I'd think your fronts look significantly more sunken in than your rears. I'd wager by about 18mm, or so.

      By IXMandalorianXI · Posted

      My '96 r33 Skyline has Rota GTR, 18 x 9.5 inch, ET30 on the front and Rota GTR-D, 18 x 9.5 inch, ET12 on the rear. (Put on by previous owner) The 12mm offset is throwing me for a loop. Is it due to the "deep dish" design of the wheel that the offset it so low? Or is it actually that low on the rear normally? If I were buying a set of new wheels, could I put 30mm offsets on the rear and reasonably expect them to fit? I have GTR Brembos and 370Z rotors (355mm/350mm) if it matters. Thank you.
