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.

    • Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?
    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
