Summernats is a must....

White top, white top, white top.... been practising the chants...

If you don't know what that means, you will when you walk the cruise route...

Keep a look out for a red commodore ute at the dyno, they are hoping to crack 2000hp street car...

383 stroker twin turbo.... the kind of turbos that suck small animals in...

I didn't see any defect lines the last two years but then again I didn't drive the skyline, maybe I won't this year either....

At night there are huge enormous lines of modified imports lining every street in the metro area, people set up deck chairs and campsites on the street to watch the parade... The showground is for the muscle the streets are for the imports and anyone who has a modified car...

They seem to hang around industrial estates as well for some reason....

God I love summernats.... car heaven

  • 2 weeks later...
Car won't be ready for the 'nats thanks to some einstein express posting a part just before the break so that it will take 5 days to get to me. Not happy.

/rant.

I might still head down anyway...

Oh thats a shame :wave:

Why is it $8 more on Saturday then Sunday?? :woot:

Yup sunday is a pretty non-eventful day besides the burnout show in the afternoon. I've never yet stayed and watched all of the burnouts because its generally sooooo hot that after 2-3 days of it you just want to get home out of the heat.

I'm thinking this year I might just go down early sat and come back very late at night after the main showground show is over and save my money from sunday and buy the dvd instead, still unsure.

Just a reminder you can't take alcohol or bottles of soft drink or any eskies into the venue otherwise they will remove them from you upon entry.

Last year I got caught out with a couple of bottles of cold coke (35c days) only to have them removed forcing me to buy $4 600ml bottles all day which gets quite expensive.

I know it is very V8 orintated and can be a bit harsh on the girls

Last time I went to summernats everyone was very complimentary towards the girls. Although, it may have been the particular area I was in, I'm not sure :P

Anyway, I should be there on the saturday. Maybe bump into some people I know!

Many of the local Skyline people will be meeting up at the National Museum before cruising into Braddon or wherever. Meeting time is anywhere from 6:30pm so it is a bit hard to guage how many people will actually show up. It would be good to meet some people from out of town and have a massive convoy of skylines.

you beat me to it!

Meeting place: National Museum of Australia

Time: 6pm for a 6.30pm leave

basically, we all meet there, have a bit of a chat, then at 6.30 we'll all cruise into braddon, find some parking and watch the entertainment.... maybe a little later in the evening we might even go for cruise. should be a fun night....

Oh what skyline cruise :P

Wish you gave us a bit more notice so would of definatly come :w00t: but we came down in the BMW :O

Would of loved catching up with fellow SAUers have seen some cruising around skyline thats it but none have SAU stickers :w00t: whats with that ????

Jess

yeah, sorry about that..... it was a little last minute. but us ACT'ers are quite a close bunch and if something is being organised for that night, word usually spreads pretty quickly.

it wasn't a big turnout anyway. it was a bit early in the evening for most people. but you can be sure that every year during summernats, ACT SAU will be out crusing almost every night of the week! we'll try to be more organised next year....

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
