Any chance of some pictures from last year?

I've never heard of this before (I don't get out much) - just curious on the layout etc.

Will have to double check, previous years have been inside out the front of Myer.

But this years will have the entire car park from post office entrance to match box entrance sectioned off.

If you have ever been to Chadstone thats a MASSIVE car park, its going to be BIG.

Its a night for manufactures to bring out all there new toys etc, but Chadston are having a major focus on cars this year. With intentions to keep the focus on cars in years to follow.

I have sent info to Bec already so just awaiting final confirmations from Chadstone which will be on Wednesday.

Cheers

It will be similar to Auto Salon in set up fully sections off area, with security more like a car show really.

I think Chadstone has been having Big Boys Toys Night for 2 or 3 years now but like i said it was mainly focused on gadgets (mobiles, ipods, computer etc) in the past but this year will have the MASSIVE car focus.

What happened there tonight. It was meant to go till 9pm. I rocked up about 7:30 with a mate and there was hardly anything there. Big crowd around a nice looking blue RX8, and cops there writing him a fine. From what I gathered when asking a few randoms, the cops rocked up and just started picking on everyones cars for roadworthiness. I dont know if anyone caused problems (ie burnouts in the carpark or anything) but the cops were just going around looking for cars to pick on. Quite a lot of jap cars there. Anyone else go?

PS: Some guys walking together said something to me while I was driving around looking for a car park, couldnt figure out what they said until after. Basically said "too late the cops are here". Sorry if it was someone here and I had a confused look on my face :D

Apparently...

One of the guys that was defected has posted in that thread.

What a disapointment for Chadstone and the people that took their cars down there to assist in the BBT static car display. The people that were harrassing the TMU by singing chants to them should be ashamed, they were not the owners of the vehicles yet they could be held partially responsible for the Police Officers negative reaction to the display, there are way to many idiots around.

Matt - Did you get done? I hope not.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • 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).
