HI All ACT members.

Very short notice but if you are interested please PM me your details and post in this thread. I'll consolidate and send to Bruce.

If you see this notive late I will ask Bruce if he can let any more in.

What you and your club need to do to be apart of this event

By Sunday 23 December 2007, details of cars and participants cars must be provided to Bruce Perry with :-

1. Owners Name

2. Vehicle type and year

3. Vehicle Rego

4. Number of people attending, Adults and Children

5. Email address

6. Name of Club

7. Postal address of Club, or individual

8. Name of your clubs liaison person, if applicable

On the day, all vehicles will meet at Dickson College (corner of Antill St and Phillip Ave Watson) between 8:00 and 9:15 am, Once there, Officials will:

Ensure the vehicle is on the attendance list.

Check to see if Vehicle is registered or on valid permit (no unregistered vehicles will be allowed to enter Summernats 20)

Place wristbands on all entrants (max 2 adults and number of children who legally fit inside the vehicle)

Place window sticker on Vehicle

The display is on the grass in the main arena, they have for the life of Summernats never had a car damaged in the arena while on display.

Just like displaying your car for wheels, drive in leave the car and collect at the end of the day.

Keep in mind though that every entrant and his car has access to this area so there can be a fair amount of traffic

I've emailed off the information with everyone who PM'd me.

Ladybytes you had 3 adults where only 2 would get free entry so I explained you needing to care for Steady Eddy. If that doesn't work you are going to have to bring a 2nd car or dress him up in baby clothes :-)

Okay put Steadys car down too if he hasn't already, I'm pretty sure I'll have a friend coming from Narrabri who I didn't want to abandon on the day, happy to pay for for them instead or they can travel with Steady.

The dummy thing just might work except the last time I saw Steady in baby clothes and a dummy he was spanking the monkey... it might give him away. (sorry Steady, didn't mean to walk in on ya)

OK I've got an extension of time till the 1st so if anyone else wants to come along they can.

Ladybytes if you want to wait until the 1st to get confirmation on who's coming and what cars. I already have permission for Steady Eddy to get free entry with you as the third adult.

Just for the sake of peoples cars,

I dont advice people entering (full entrant)jap cars on the bases that the bogans dont like it. (just keep it in mind)

They souldnt be a problem on the grass arena but i know that on the cruise root they can get really bad with the jap imports.

Just thought i would mention it for anyone who hasn't been.

The rotors had a really hard time last year.

I have not seen anyone on these forums that could enter as a full entrant anyway. Bogans are a potential problem where ever a car show is but we've never had a problem at other shows, and I don't expect a problem here either.

We should be on the grass on Sunday only (with hopefully the trouble makers kicked out before Sunday)

The more people/cars we have coming the more likely there we be someone we know hanging around the cars anyway.

Entrant advice (note we are not real entrants) but items 5 specifically allows for stock Nissan GTR's, item 8 talks about safest parking

I agree with BNR32t, its a very bad idea taking a Jap import car anywhere near Summernats...

I know a guy who took an R34 GTR to Summernats about 2 years ago only to have beer cans and crap thrown at it when he drove passed pissed V8 bogan idiots and there was nothing he could do about it because he only had one passenger and there are always 10 - 12 bogans in each roudy group.

When he complained to the organisers they apparently just told him that they couldnt do anything because he had no names (as if you can just stop and ask for names when someone is throwing shit at your car and screaming names at you)...

I would hate to see anyone's car from here get damaged... Summernats + pissed bogans + Jap cars = recipe for disaster.

You wont see my car on the road while Summernats is on.

With respect Bullet32 that seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to some yobbos that have never done anything to you.

I've driven past Summernats and around Canberra last nats and received only praise for the car (excluding one young yobbo at BP Civic, who cried out skylines sucks then ran away). That’s no different from driving a Holden GTS or a Ford GT-P. Have respect for each others cars and choices and you will avoid many problems.

We won't be competing, driving around, or doing anything that attracts attention of the yobbo's. Most yobbos will likely be watching the burn out comp or the Go-Whoa on Sunday.

Seen it happen many times, and its your choice for taking the car in and you have no insurance.

And driving around civic is a different thing all together.

But as John said, the cars arnt on the cruise root.

Howdy.You can count me in. Keep me posted. Been to 16 of the nats events so far. And I'm not worried about anyone damaging the cars.Besides Its normally on the Friday or Saturday night that shit happens. But on a sunday. Nut. They'd be too busy coming down from the night before. Or getting ready to head back home. Should be a good day. :)

Youre half right John...

The few times that I have been out to the Summernats in my car or gone to Braddon to park and watch some nice cars I have had good and bad reactions.

The reason that I am not going to be driving my car during Summernats is because I dont need to draw any extra attention from our "friendly neighbourhood constabulary", I would rather avoid being pulled over for a "random" vehicle inspection.

I will probably ride shotgun with someone else though.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
