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

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.

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....

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....

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
