bah 8:30, means i have to leave around 7am so i can wash and polish my car in time, dam dirt and bugs. Where are the car lovers in northside?

Sacrelidge! how dare you take such an esteemed vehicle through a commoners cleaning station! Skylines deserve a personal touch (e.g. bucket, water, top quality waxes and a whole Saturdays work) and don't get on your high horses about water restrictions, they don't apply to Skylines.

I've been asked by a few to come out to this, I'll be working, but will find time to come out and catch up with the crew.

Good luck with getting a reply Cejay, it took me almost a week just to book us a car spot! :laugh: The show doesn't open to the public until 10am so I think cars arrive at 9am... So let's meet up at 8.15-8.30am crusing out at 8.45 or a little before.

Don't forget, I am making a banner he he just because this will be my last dealing with the ACT SAU! :ninja:

I spoke directly to the organisors today.

They informed me that it was best for 2 members/cars to turn up between 8 and 8.30 to stake out a large section so all the skylines will be situated together. Particularly not having a club, we will be thrown in with the "others"

It would be nice to see a massive row in year order.

Do we have a time the organisers want us to arrive? It might give them the shits if we rock up at 9am and they're just about to finish setting up the other cars.

Received this from the organiser

Start time is 8am, I will get you out an updated map of the skyline

owners location for the show,

Marshalling is between 8am and 9am but you can arrive late just get the

attention of one of the marshals at the event and we'll be able to help

you setup.

If you have any further questions feel free to email me

So if we arrive sometime in between then it should be fine, but as has been said, might be good to have one or two people stake out our spot. I'll post up the updated map if and when I get it.

Either Meguiars or Auto glym are all i use.

My friend spoke to the organiser this morning and he said to be there for 8 as then you can stake your own area. If its too early for some of you maybe the early risers want to meet at 7.45 and we can make sure we have an area big enough to fit all of us together.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
