After last years hugely sucessful event we are looking to go bigger and better, with more sponsor stalls and more cars. We are also working to have some race cars along again. It looks like the Gibson R31 and the Winfield R32 GTR will be there as well as Aaron McGill's V8 Supercar.

So what do you need to do?

Entry Form - Sup Regs

Start polishing your car! All Skylines will be entered into their respective category (eg R32 GTR) and also into the People's Choice award. Each car will also be eligible for one, and only one, of Best Interior, Best Exterior or Best Engine Bay.

Judging criterea will be posted before the day so people know what the Judges will be looking out for.

I want you all to know that we are looking for quantity as well as quality. We don't care if your car has stone chips all over the bonnet or whatever. We are trying to make it a BIG show with all kinds of Skylines. Last year we had nearly 50 entrants and it was great. We want even more this year. It's a great excuse to polish your car up and make it look as good as it can possibly look. It will definitely be a fun day out for all.

There are heaps of prizes to give away so a lot of you will come home with at least something. Have a look at the sponsors (above). You can tell there will be some good stuff.

Well, until the day peoples... spread the word!

He sure is... Old school SDU/SAU member :rolleyes:

Fell off the face of the Skyline planet for a while there, whilst punting around in his R32 GTS-t... but he's been spotted terrorizing innocent old ladies with the purple di1do in the last few months :)

Nobody has been able to enter yet, I will have the entry form ready to be posted this arvo or at the latest tomorrow morning :embarrised:

Keep a look out here guys for the entry form, we will be posting it on the first page also.

Cheers,

Dan.

I think I've seen your DR30 in Newie once. We want it there :P please.

There is now an accomodation thread for those wishing to stay on the saturday night perhaps.

It says on the entry form that :

Entries must be made on the official entry form, and sent together with the entry fee to the Event Coordinator at the address listed at 'Event Coordinator' above. Entries close 9:30 am on Sunday 17th July 2005.

Does this mean that we can front up with a form filled in on the day?

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
