Duncan, do you have a pic of your r32? we could show the wide variety of skylines, from street, to race

Yes a model would be nice :D

Stagea would be ok! After all it has an RB in it......

Lets organise this sooner rather than later

Some might want to be careful entering your cars into these types of events. A lot of car enthusiats do see your car - and a portion of those people would be the kind to steal cars etc. I imagine a few cars get stolen and stripped after shady types get to see exactly whats under the bonnet at these types of shows. Maybe removing your plates for the event would be a good idea? Just so people dont recognise it when it's parked at a local shopping centre or whatever. Some people may argue that this is one of the reasons that you mod your car (so others can admire it) - but you have to ask yourself if they are the kind of people you want admiration from!

Call me paranoid, but I don't think it's worth the 'glory'. :P

wats the problem? you cant use a phone?

i dont see wats so hard about getting the people together filling out the forms and waiting till the date to take ur cars down

Yep got it in one. I cannot use a phone :P

Well when I went to the site to have a look, it was says show booked out. Thats why I emailed them... Meh

Chris/AMS, I wouldn't mind putting my Stagea up there with yours, but I probably still won't have made any mods to it, going by the short time any money spends in my bank account before I can even consider spending it on the car. I would have at least liked to have lowered it with one of SK's kits (or similar), and maybe thrown some nice wheels on. Then again, I could leave the standard wheels on to contrast against your car, too.

But having the car displayed also means not driving it for a few days... ;) Ah, well, I guess if this goes ahead and I add my car to the SAU stand, then I'll just deal with it.

I'll most likely take my plates off though, maybe get some dummy ones made up for display purposes.

Cheers,

Nick T.

right on my man. i leave my car in the garage for this very reason. why drive it when someone will spot my plates and track me down you know. :(

be good to see some skyline bling at the autosalon. good luck guys.

As far as number plates go, we could all get fake plates made up in the same style as car makers use for their new models, simply with "SAU" on them??

Theyre quite cheap aswel

Good Idea

Autosalon got back to me today

Hi

Do apologise for the late reply Chris, I just returned to the office today.

Anyway... Trade Stand is design for anyone who wishes to promote their business and for that please contact our Sales Department. Club display is for any competitor who wishes to promote their club... you can have banners.... T-shirts.. so long none of the text or printing contains any business who sponsored the club.

To be a club you must have a minimum of 6 cars...

Attached is an entry form for the Sydney and Newcastle show

Now how do I go about uploading the entry forms? :D

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
