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.

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
