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?

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
