Guys, some new information has just come to my attention. This contradicts a lot of the original post in this thread about this show 'n' shine, and i don't know what to make of it. apparently this is stated on the entry form for the show

• Submission or delivery of this form to the Ford Show N Shine signifies acceptance and willingness to comply with all show policies and procedures.

• Confirmation of your entry will be provided upon receipt of your fee of $10.00/$15.00 per vehicle entered. Your entry fee(s) must be received no later than close of business Friday November 4th 2005.

• Make cheques payable to FPV & XR Owners Club of ACT.

• Entries will have 1 ½ hours of set-up time, from 8.00am to 9.30am on November 20th, 2005.

• Vehicles will be on display from 9.30 am to 4 pm. (vehicles must remain until show finishes)

• Vehicles must be removed from the grounds site by 5.30 pm.

• Judging begins from 11 am. Awards will be announced at approx 2 pm.

• Every entrant’s vehicle will be judged.

• Each entrant will need to provide a drip tray for each vehicle. This is mandatory.

• We reserve the right to refuse any entrant at our discretion.

• There will be no refunds due to bad weather or circumstances beyond our control

So if this is the case, i don't think any of us will be able to enter our cars, and i don't particularly want to look around at a bunch of Fords

Ok guys, i found the error.

It appears there are 2 (read: two) show 'n' shines on Sunday.

Marques in the Parks is being run by the Morris Minor club ACT and is a FREE Event.

the FPV & XR owners club are also hosting their Show 'n' Shine which is a paid entry event. this is not the one we want to go to.

That's how i understand it. I don't know how many of your are famliar with John Knight Park, i went for a walk there last weekend. It's got a big grassy area, which is where the ford people are going to be, since they need drip trays. The Morris club (Marques in the Park) people might either be there as well, or in the carpark at the top of the park. there was parks for about 100 - 150 cars in the carpark at a guess.

We'll probably find out more on the morning, it doesn't start until 10am, and we're planning to get there at 8am when setup begins.

but yes, there are 2 show 'n' shines in the same park

i went and had a bo peep at this a couple of years ago (maybe last year?) and all the cars were in the grassy area, but there was a strong ford presence.

the set up could have been one big show n shine but the ford blokes have awards etc...??

might be similar this year??

I think you're right. the ford guys seam to have it setup as a fair dinkum show 'n' shine, where as the Morris club guys just wanted to get other car clubs out to show off. they're the guys that invited all the other car clubs like REACT and SAU to it.

F.Y.I.

And I'll see those of you that can make it on Sunday,'K?

Well that makes it easy for us then, no one will be there when we arrive to park. Should be a good day, i'm excited.

Remember, MACCAS BELCONNEN (opposite the college) 7:30AM depart 8:00AM for JOHN KNIGHT PARK so we can have the SAU crew together

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
