wait and see cupcake. lol

weather can change fast. :D

Hi all :) - the sun might come out before sunday but with all the rain we've had over the past week & with whats falling today Auburn Park is going to be muddy paddock on sunday no matter what !!!! - with 100+ cars driving on it after all this rain its going to be a muddy mess !!!! (& the council will freak out!!) - i vote for a postponement NOW !! & give the park a chance to recover & the ground to "firm" up !! - theres NO WAY the ground is going to be solid enough to take 1 vehicles weight without totally f_____g it up !! let alone dozens & dozens - i vote for putting it off & having a FANTASTIC day rather than leaving it for this sunday & having a F---ED one !!!! - m - :(

We will be taking everything into consideration.

At this stage we are looking at 1 July if it has to be postponed.

The condition of the ground where we will be is much better than the attached playing fields. We may be right. What we don't want is for 50 people to say they can't make another day and thus all the effort gets wasted.

yea, u got my vote for the postponement! shud make it on the 24th. just an idea...

Bathurst Cruise is on then. Too many participants from here to call it on that day, there'd be now show n shine left.

I vote postpone 'til first weekend of July.

We really need to think this through. It has been very wet and the rain looks like continuing for days.

The last thing that we want is:

- The park all cut up by the Lines - this would not make good press, They are always looking for something bad to print about Skylines

- With this much water and mud the cars will look like crap anyway

- 100 bogged Lines that we have to get some 4WD's to pull out is not a good look

Postponing the Show and Shine to a later date when the park will be dry is my preferred option - the trick is to pick the right weekend

I am 2 km's from the park and it is bucketing down as it has been for the past few hours. I do not like the chances of the ground drying up let alone firming up by Sunday.

Anyone have an SCG 'supersoaker'??

SAU sticker FTW!

In other news. Yes we are postponing to 1 July. I haven't confirmed the date with Parramatta City Council yet but hope to before lunch.

Please tell everyone, post it everywhere. I would rather people got told 10 times than not at all.

I personally think it will be ok but the chance is still there and lots of people may assume it will be crap so 1 July it is.

Please keep the faith by setting aside 1 July and helping us make the biggest Skyline gathering ever.

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
