Why is it called SMALL Car Sunday when skylines are allowed to enter?

Small would be like hatches and mini's :)

Because when SCS started back in the day when it was actually decent, there were no skylines around and it was cars with chrome bumpers like Rotas and Corollas and Dattos! can you remember when Silvias were just starting to come in, prob not, but thats how long ago, even earlier!!

Its like when Fast Fours and Rotaries were the best thing out and now thats changed its called 4,6 and rotaries or something now isn't it??

I remember going to my first SCS at regency park, WRX'es had just hit the scene and TX3 Turbos were the shiz, along with Dattos with FJ20s. Those days were mad, inter-club tug-of-wars, sound offs, real mc's and that. SCS need to get back to their roots.

hi everyone~! i think i might be the last one to put up photos...~ pretty slow~!

I enjoyed the event as it was my first SCS and was kida fun to be one displaying car rather then just looking, although my car was pretty under preped and had nothing much to show~ :P .... and was good to meet some of SAU peaple in real life rather then just on the net. (should've hung around a bit more in the tent though.. :D )

Thanks heaps for those of you who organised everything and mad it easy for newbies like me~!

it was pretty dusty as other people said, and my car being black, i couldn't get rid of the dust... :) (thanks PK for letting me use your dust magnate.)

here are some of my pictures~!

cheers once again~!

I too remember those days.

Even awards for loudest exhaust and the like - you couldn't do thattoday, the car would never make it home.

Even then, one year the Monaro club was invited to do a display.

good work everyone who entered and to everyone who came along for support!

thanks to flick and pk for doing a fantastic job of organising, oh and thanks to flick for the sunblock, looked like a clown rather than a tomato!

I left whilst the awards were being presented, didnt get a chance to say bye to everyone!

got 1 pic of PK's wheel the whole day haha.

that would be PHUMAN's girlfriend :D

Think there will be changes for next years show if it is going to happen, venue being top of the list i reckon, oh well wait and see wat happens.

Flick - Madaz gave me your number. Munro and Cheeky were out cruising in the Beamer and were going to go to the Lacrosse club to meet up with you all - not sure if they did or not.

Howie - I would love a full res pic of the black 35 on the angle - that car looks PIMP. That is exactly what I was contemplating bringing in when I grabbed my R34 - kind of wish I had, but I would miss the power of the GT2530 :D

I'm tempted myself... perhaps in a couple years i'll trade up to a 350gt. Just love the look of them.

Btw, here's the full res picture of V35 GT8

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
