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.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
