yeh its definatley changed over the past few years especially... i went 3 years in a row 02, 03, 04 and id say it wasnt the most jap loving crowd, but its pretty different now heaps of jap cars anf rotors(boo) and its awesome, still not 100% my cuppa tea but would still be fun..

Just dont rock up in a stock lancer and try do burnouts on the cruise pad (seen a few bottles go through windows lol)

I use dto live in Canberra, and would suggest to book your accomodation now... the closest F1 motel will prob already be booked out for over the nats, but most of canberra is easy and quick to get around, so almost anywhere isn't too far from EPIC..... Things to do apart from cars? The Zoo and Aquarium is actually pretty good - you can organise to pat a cheetah if your keen. There's also the National museum, War memorial, National Gallery and Science and Technology Center to name a few..... Try posting in the ACT section, the guys in Canberra have regular cruises and meets, and are all a pretty friendly mob.

If you drive a skyline or any car that isnt a Holden, Falcon or Datsun, dont park within 1km of Summernats or your car will be keyed/ kicked/ broken into or urinated on.

Wasn't last years grand champion a Datsun 1600 with a boosted SR20 on board???

:P

Hmm I've toyed with the idea of taking the car down and everytime I cant convince myself. The worries of it being down there are pretty big. My mate use to get shit (even as recent as this year) because he drove around a VLC-T.

I dont know if its worth the hassle to be honest. I would love to take the car down but I care about it too much to worry about what simple minded farkwits will do to it if they have a couple of beers..

Correct, last years champion was the Datto, but that car is something special... completely different to taking your Supra/Skyline etc with big rims on it.

This years winner was 'SENATOR.' The purple VP Senator.

:(

:D feel free to take your car down there, living down here you hear many stories every year (getting better though admittedly) of Japanese or 'ricer' like cars getting broken into, dented or just generally disrespected.

My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
