...from my experiance of the past 06' one in Shepparton ...
Just to set the record straight, that was the Skyline Nationals, and was organised to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the R31. (IMO, NDSOC should never have been involved at the level they were, but that's a whole different kettle of fish).

This is the Nissan Datsun Sports Nationals (originally Z Nationals), which is held every second Easter. Organisation rotates between the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane Z clubs.

There is a thread in the National Events section, which I put up late last year.

Anyone entering their car for the sprints??

Snowy? Scotsman? Dane? Anybody?????

Read the entry form and it states that there is a $75 entry fee, then another $190 for the sprints in which they anticipate 3 timed runs on the day...

I'm very interested, although $265 for 3 timed sessions sounds a bit ugly.....

Shit - I haven't actually read the entry form yet but I had planned on entering the sprints. But I won't if it's $265.

If it's just $190 I'll be there however.

I also see it's only a 75dB day as well. Be doubley bad to pay $265 and then get kicked straight off for noise.

Yeah not too sure, I may have read it incorrectly...

I know JP is coming down, we need to show him how its done here in VIC!!!

Will have to find out on pricing, I'm interested either way in doing the sprints...

You have to enter the Nationals before you can enter any events associated with the Nationals.

The $75 is the basic entry fee, and generally covers merchandise and memorabilia of the Nationals.

To have to pay $75 just to get some merchandise is a little harsh. I presume this means you have no choice other than to cough up money to get merchandise, which then allows you to attend any other events.

Add the costs of accommodation, petrol, food, grog etc and it wind's up an expensive weekend!

Shame about such short notice, otherwise I am sure alot of people would have had the time to account for the costs and put some cash away.

Why should they have never been involved Greg? It was a very successful event for the NDSOC, and one they actually made money from, unlike almost every other national event the club has hosted. I am sure the NDSOC would be really pleased to hear a member of their committee is bagging a very successful event. Every one who attended had a ball, and that event is one of the reasons so many will be attending the nationals this year, and an event that you never even attended, and yet you are passing judgement.

Despite other NDSOC members trying to sabotage the Skyline Nationals, it was a huge success, and one that will be repeated next year.

Im still confused, at this stage I will be only going to look around on the saturday and watch the sprints on the sunday etc...

SOOO In regards to the whole $75 fee, does this mean that you have to pay the $75 to get into the track to watch? and to be invloved with other events?

$75.00 gets you entry, a momento pack, and entry to the track, and entry to the concourse. It does not let you compete at the track, or attend the trivia night. It will also cost your partner, or additional people extra money to attend the "Welcome barbeque" and the Farewell Barbeque, where your entry fee of $75.00 covers these two items as well. Oh Presentation dinner is $65.00 per head, and no kids allowed. Oh no kids allowed to anything basically.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
