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.

    • 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.
