Steve,

Who told you there was lots of space left? I spoke to Lloyd who is organising it and he said there is very little space left inside, hence only being able to put around 6 cars in. If you have been told otherwise that's great and we should make a decision quickly so we can book.

If we have to have a display inside and out I say we put 6 of the best modified cars inside and do the full model run outside. At both displays we can have signs telling people about the other display.

Summoner,

It's at Belmont Racecourse again.

I have spoken to Lloyd and we have definately got a spot inside booked. They are going out to Belmont next week to measure it up for us and will let me know how much space we have. From that we can work out how many cars we can fit, what display we will do etc... We have to provide all power cords, extension cords etc. They need to be taped to the floor, all cars on display need to have a cover underneath them for any leaks etc. The cost is $50 per car, this includes entry in the Show n Shine, Dyno Comp and driving events. The driving events are optional and numbers are limited.

Outside we can have as much space as we like, and pretty much do as we like. If we want (and can afford) to put a marque up we can. In terms of security overnight they are looking in to it and will advise.

What we will do is work out what cars will go into the show and fill in all the entry forms and submit them together as a club.

As was suggested maybe inside we can go the workshop theme with modded cars, and outside have a big display showing the range of Skylines we have in the club. Off the top of my head I thought of this list for outside:

Jash's old skooler

R30's (2 door , 4 door)

R31's (2 door, 4 door)

R32 GTST

R32 4 door

R32 GTS4

R32 GTR

R33 GTST

R33 4 door

R33 GTS4

R33 GTR

R34 GTT

R34 4 door

R34 GTR

That's 16 I can think of, plus the cars inside would take the total to around 22ish.

I think we have most models covered except for R34 GTR, anyone know someone who is willing to donate one for the show?? Wouldn't have the same impact without it I guess...

I'm happy to host a meeting at my place to work things out. What we can also do is over a couple of weeks have each model turn up at a set place and we can as a group decide which is the best example to put in the show. Let me know what you guys think but we should get this underway as time will pass pretty damn quick.

One other thing that will need to be decided is if the club members will all donate towards the display, or only the entrants will..

Midweek or weekends are ok for me to host a first meeting.

Cheers

Brett

ok i'll lend you guys my R34 GTR... :P

but seriously, we should have a meeting to work out the details on which cars will be displayed on the inside and outside. however, it would be handy to confirm the amount of space that we are able to work with

Thanks Jeff, hope you didn't think I was assuming we would have your car, just using it as an example... :mad: What's with the missing 'TT' from the end of that engine type dude!!!! ha ha ha

Are you putting a C-Red display on or is GTAAH available, (maybe even big red if ya still got her??)

Brett

Yeah bought the Autech DE from JMS. I was going to build up a stroker L Series, but by the time I did the sums the 26 worked out better. Big Red's motor is in GTAAH yeh and Big Red will be sold either stock or with a pair of RX6s. We'll have a display on yeah.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
