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.

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

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
