I have entered at the nats, entered last year didn't have any probs you just have to stay away at night and don't go round the back road later on.

^^ i remember last year i was at the shell servo entrance seeing your 32 go past, my mouth dropped! i believe the words were "God daaayum!" widest 32 ive ever seen!!!

Yeah I saw Leigh hook a left as well..... are you mad? :P

Was a good night, I think we picked the right time to leave as well..... I didn't realise that just about every car that drove down lonsdale street could be "randomly" inspected. Funnily enough I didn't really see any car all night put a foot wrong.

Some nice cars though, we saw Rumble, a white R34 GT-R, one white and two red R34 GT-t's, too many R33's to remember, a few 32's (2 silver GT-R's among them), ran into Nick and Ewan, etc etc.

Tomorrow night should be a cracker.....

My nasty mother-in-law gave me a season pass for christmas. :)

So I guess I'll have to go then.

It was great to see so many cars out tonight, just wish that all those awesome local cars would come out more often.

Hope to see a good turnout at the museum tonight before hitting braddon (and the pubs)!

As per my annual routine,we'll be eating at the restaurant on the roundabout in the middle of Lonsdale St (Da Cellini's...)so we can kick back and enjoy the show. I've got one spare spot,seating wise(Leech,you get first dib's,as you posted up your interest first!);we'll be there from 6.30 with a mixed bag of SAU'ers,Ducati owners,a few V8 nuts and me + E:all good peeps...

Beacause i was sitting on the arse of two police officers on motorbikes that went straight through that round about who i caught up to a little two quick. I just went straight through the roundabout anyways i didnt turn down into the ques :)

Leigh why did you turn left at the round about into the the dead lock traffic and breath tests lol :P

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
