Summernats (still)= Australias biggest Bogan/Westie convention (unfortunately). Main gripes- After the first few hours, you spend the whole weekend treking through rubbish, It still isn't all that great a place to take an jap import if you want any appreciation (or to keep straight panels, in my case perhaps [re: those still angry about bathurst 91/92] and does it always have to be 40+ degrees the whole time? Let the for/against posts begin!

The streets (Braddon etc) are dominated by Imports. The showground is dominated by v8's and rotary cars.

Their are more and more imports starting to appear inside the showground but they generally get frowned upon because they cannot do burnouts (which lets face it, thats what everyone is there to see).

The parking is free, your car will get dusty and need a very good wash when you get back home. Just pray it doesnt rain otherwise you'll be washing your car for a month!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
