Hey peeps :wave:

Just wondering if any SAUer's will be at summernats this year ? :huh:

Its will be our first summernats ever as moving to this state has made it possible to actually go :w00t:

I know it is very V8 orintated and can be a bit harsh on the girls but I am purely there to have a great time and see some "phat" cars :yes: what ever make/model they might be ;)

We will be going down just for the weekend e.g Friday night thru to Sunday as didnt plan well enough this year to be there the whole 4 days >_< lol

So hope to see some sau peeps and maybe even some "phat" nissan there :O:laugh:

Yup im the same i'll be there Sat + Sun or.. until my body cant stand the sunburn any longer. I usually just drive down myself on friday arvo to Goulborn to stay at my parents house then drive my work van down early sat morning and sleep in the back sunday nite in some desserted area then go back sunday for the burnouts and another dose of sunburn.

Regardless of the amount of v8's it really is a fantastic car enthusiast show with more and more jap cars becoming involved (although not as many as you find on the streets of Braddon late at night hehe).

The whole chick thing is (unfortunately) dieing down. I wouldn't have taken a chick within 10km of the place 3 or 4 years ago but these days plenty of middle aged families are going with their young kids and dont have any problems. If you dress for the occassion and not for the attention and dont wander around in groups of girls you are pretty much alright.

Im unsure how spectacular the event will be this time around due to the major accident last event caused by the drifters running over some people in the crowd on the sat nite main event. Expect security ever 10m stopping any driver that even remotely looks like they are going to do something stupid. Why they dont just make the cruise route 1 way with heaps and heaps of safety barriers allowing drivers to do what they want to do is beyond me.

Can't wait...

I haven't been since the early 90's. I hear it's a lot tamer these days in terms of crowd behaviour. Any hassles you get for liking one particular car or another is most likely to be done in a friendly bantering sort of way.

If I go this time I will definitely be wearing something SAU related.

Have you guys got your accomodation organised?

Generally speaking the women walking around with guys wont get picked on, or only in a friendly way if at all. But chicks walking around in groups wearing short skirts and tight tops, good luck.

If you havent already organised accommodation, forget about it.. you are about 6mths too late.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
