First real big meet that I've been to since joining this forum...  can't say that I'm one bit disappointed!  Even scored myself a sticker~

Cruise up was awesome, except for that f*$king rock that shot into my bonnet leaving a chip - not happy at all about that.

Overall show was top rated, never seen so many Skylines in one day let alone one meet...  Seeing some of the really modified cars was extremely inspiring; which was the actual intention for entering this (to get ideas and inspiration).

Cruise back down was kinda lonely, only one other 32 :)

All I can say is those who won those prizes, well done!  Those who organized the event, excellent job! And those who couldn't make it up, you missed out big time...  but I'm sure there'll be next year to plan for~

lol stupid traffic too

so many slow cars on the overtaking lane

From one Canberran's point of view,I reckon it was a fairly smoothly run event,with HEAPS of drool-worthy artillery! There are sooooo many cars that come to mind,but those of you that were there already have your fave's burnt into your memories and memory cards;those that weren't there-you should've been! One of our "adopted" ACT SAU'ers drove 7 1/2 hours each way from Wagga Wagga (OscarR32-marone R32 GTS-T) just to be part of the show! And we met a rally-spec'd Niss' owner and SAU member from Canberra we never even knew about! All in all,I've got more inspiration to drag our crew back(OK;they'll come willingly)to do it all again next year!

Oh,and my favorites? Stacey & Paul's two.06l R32 GTR....now that's how a 32 should be! Obviously Terry's ex-Gentleman Jim's R31 was stunning,the two classic 'Lines in silver,the copious amount of Volk/Rays fitted to most cars,the S14 with the RB26DETT was brilliantly done(you go,girl!)...and the list goes on!

Massive thanks to the organisers for putting the event on,and thanks to the local constabulary(!!!)for giving everyone the heads up re:travelling home-they could've been sneaky and lay in wait for an easy meal,but chose to reveal their hand. Anyone get caught speeding on the way home that DIDN'T earn it? Honestly?!? And thanks also to the Mingarra(sp?) Club for having us;I hope we're there again next year!

A big thanks to the organisers for the day it was great. It was nice to see so many people who actually respect other people cars etc (not having to say to people can you please not touch etc was a pleasant surprise). I scored 2 trophies which is a record for me as i never win anything :rofl: And for those of you who set me up to make me come up and get the trophy (you know who you are) you will pay LOL

Also wanted to say it was nice to catch up with the few SAU'ers I know outside of canberra(Paul/DIRTgarage and Duncan/errr... DUNCAN,Malcolm with the R33 GTS-T Nismo/ username?). I also met quite a few new faces that were friendly and appreciative of me and my car. As I'm a small member of SAU(sexual inuendo not intended;much ribbing expected...LOL),it's nice to get in amongst the bigger scene and soak up everything that is happening outside of the small sphere that is Canberra! Not tha the ACT is bad,mind you...just f***ing cold! Ah,think of the inlet temp's!

OH,edit:Adams' 4 door? I saw you,mate. SWEET ride(love the 4 door 32's!)

Thanks Jayce....my favorite would have to have been the S14 260sx....what a combo, and so nicely done too. Like to see Stace and MSRB26 head to head on the drag day....what a race!!

Thanks to all who organised/competed/attended to make this day possible.

Thanks Paul :rofl: Sounds like a plan for the 31st should be some fun, see you there :P

I also have to say that i was dissapointed that yours/Stace's 32 didn't win best 32 GTR but that's how it goes i guess.

This was the first SAU event I've attended/participated in and I have to say that it was pretty impressive. The organisation was top notch, all participants seemed to be acting responsibly and I think it did a lot to portray a very good image of Skyline enthusiasts to the general public. So congrats to all the organisers and everyone who participated/attended on a job well done :rofl:

Now where are the rest of the pics??? :P

]']lol i know your car

it was up on the hill with the pearl white colour  

mine was opposite side of yours  

white R32 GTR with CF hood and black AVS rims

Ah,yes...let me check all my memory cards...there's a shot in there somewhere!

Hold tight;I'll see what I can do!

this i would like to see :P:D A bit of friendly competition will be awesome. Andrea v's Stacey, the race is on :):P lol

it was great talking to you Paul and to anyone else i may have forgotten. It certainly was a great change to be able to mingle with so many people who were so down to earth and werent egotystical maniacs....

Next year will be bigger and getter i am sure.

Ah,yes...let me check all my memory cards...there's a shot in there somewhere!

Hold tight;I'll see what I can do!

Nope;I'm a mug:the only shot I had off your car was blinded by the sun. Teach me not to check the viewer each time I take a pic'...Sorry!

We weren't dissapointed....just glad to see a race car hold its own in a show environment....stripped interiors etc aren't big winners with show judges.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
