Im also interested entering again this year. Vmax havent posted up prices or entry forms yet but, like every year its the last wkend of November. Check out SCC/ Vmax site for details:

http://www.sportingcarclubsa.org.au/Default.aspx?tabid=79

I had the SkyEighty in last year and had a blast, this year depending on condition, the thirtyfour will make an appearance, but since I dont have time to prepare when car arrives, Don't wont to go repping any companies that havent had a chance to work on it yet ;)

Was poking around SCCSA's website and this was in their August Newsletter:

Small Car Sunday – November 17th – 19th 2006

This year’s format will reflect a slight departure from the formula of past years. As usual, the SCS Committee will be calling for volunteers from all Sections of the Club, and welcome any help that is forthcoming. A brief précis of the weekends events are:

The Friday night cruise will use the existing format, however the starting point for 2006 will be the South Parklands and culminate at a venue in the southern suburbs.

Saturday is traditionally the motorfest component of the weekend. Various options are still being investigated. We will make an announcement once specific details are confirmed.

Sunday Show’N’Shine. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the availability of Immanuel College (they have started major capital works), the SCS committee considered several alternative sites for viability. The outcome is that the Sunday Show’N’Shine will be held at Allan Scott Park (aka Morphettville Race Course). This venue will comfortably accommodate 500 cars, and traders, in both covered and open air areas, and will allow for expansion in years to come.

The event coincides with John Blanden’s Climb to the Eagle on the Friday, and Classic Adelaide over the weekend, however the availability of the two venues made this weekend the only one suitable. Our belief is that the spectator demographics of these other events will not impact on Small Car Sunday – the fact that Adelaide will be abuzz with motoring enthusiasts may actually be a major positive!

Am i wrong in saying that at the last car show held at morphetteville race course resulted in a large number of cars being defected at the event and then on leaving aswell??

Does anyone know if we will be given any "get out of jail free cards" with entry??

Don't know about morphetteville race course, but when it was on at immanuel college there were a number of police cars waiting at the exit. One of the sponsors was done in a big way which was really upsetting to most of us.

Cops gave my car a look up and down, one silvia in front of me got so pissed off he let a ripper of a burnout infront of the cops.

Ive been in the last few SCS and there has been a large police prescence on leaving the event, but never really saw anyone have problems as long as they were obeying the road rules, but i heard about the event no long that was held at morphetteville, i think i was called extreme show and shine or something, there was a thread on here at some stage on the topic where people were getting there cars defected on the way in, and even cars in the car park were getting done. Hopefully if the event is organised as it has been in past years there shouldnt be any hassles.

yep i went to that one, was called autotechnica i think. the cops turned the entrance inside the gate into a defect station, with witches hats and everything, until the course owner told them to piss off because it is private property. they then proceded to set up their little station outside of the gates... f**kin lame if you ask me. these events allow us car enthusiats to have some fun with our cars off the streets and they still cant help but be a hassle.

i put my hand up for SCS

so this weekend pass gets me into the mallala to spectate

and sunday i cant be there till 12 - 12:30 till 3

dont really want my car judged but can be looked @

ok most of my questions awnsered here

That's just absolutely s**t. The Cops are getting too big for their boots & don't know when to back off. I don't know how they expect the Import scene to give them any sought of credit or respect when they continue to pull stunts like this. And the Import scene is a growing one.....

go easy on them theve seen far to many d**k head doing stupid things like leaveing these sort of shows and i mean leaving the exit of them drifting it sideways only to hit a tree or worse another car they get called to that and ask the P plater (normally) where you come from and he say oh thast show n shine hows it look for the sence

if we all leave sensibly and dont have things hanging off out car and sounding loud you should be ok

go with a car that looks illeagal and expect to get it looked @

The cops were actually at Autotechknika for a few certain people, yet obviously can't just ping like 2 cars, have to make it look like their after anyone :D

Last SCS, cops just nodded at me in the SkyEighty, it was low and loud, they didn't care.

hopefully the 34 gets the same non-attention from cops.

got a couple funny idea's for display if anyone is interested?

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
