well i know where to park for the nats as the area surrounding EPIC can get quite congested. We could all meet up in Dickson, the nearest shopping area, then drive up the road to the parking areas before going into the nats. it depends on what times/days people are arriving as most of the festivities occur on the saturday, especially at night :P

Friday night would be a good time to meet up. We could get together at the Tradies carpark at Dickson & you could lead the cruise from there. What time would you suggest?

Friday night, mmmmmmmmmm, my posse might be out at that time. What about mid afternoon? Like around 4 or 5? Through to like 8-9?

I might just turn up for the meet then back off to my gang.

Yeah, thats what I thought. Mid-late arvo, then off to do our own thing. Lets call it 5.30 till whenever.

I wouldn't cruise on the friday night, unwritten rule of summernats: locals keep car in garage on friday night. the cops are out in force and basically block off the main cruising routes after 10pm. an earlier cruise could work though, if we wanted to meet up, head around the lake or something for a few shots and a cruise through the city?

I agree there Leshy. Since Rob will not be joining us due to his tree excursion, it looks like it will be the two of us plus Alex. Should we settle on 6pm Friday, we could meet at the carpark in Dickson outside Woollies, then have a nice leisurely cruise around the city, have a few photos near the parliamentary triangle, then back to Dickson around 8pm. We can then head off our own ways from there. How does that sound? :)

sounds good to me. i'll be around for it. I was talking to marc yesterday, he still doesn't know the outcome of his accident (write-off or repairable) but he's getting around in his SSS Bluebird at the moment. I can't remember, but he might be hooking up with us too.

All other stageas heading to the Nats, join us on friday for a little cruise.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.

      Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.

      Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
