Iv been to every one since #12. Its a lot more civilized these days.. which i guess is a good and bad thing :blink:

Night time with a import is still hairy, but can be offset by either car or how big your arms are hehehe. A riceless ride that sound off guts and pops a burnout every now and then still gains some attention of the good kind. Having a car load of massive mates (pref looking like ice dealers) helps a lot too haha

Hey Jon... have you seen the Summernats thread in NSW Events? There are a few coming down and it could turn into dinner on Sat night. I know its late notice, but is it worth trying to get a few more cars there?

I have not seen anyone on these forums that could enter as a full entrant anyway.

You obviously have no idea what youre talking about, i could enter mine, and its far from the most mechanically modded or showy car here, and after being at scrutineering on tues eve, i could even put my ute in, and its dead stock with a couple of gauges and a fire extinguisher.

I know that widebody 32 from here has entered his car a few times, theres more to entering than winning grand champ, things like the dyno comp, driving events, show n shine, being in the top 60, which is what were hoping for with the rod this year, hope it makes it

For the six cars entering remember the following. I plan on being there about 8.30.

Sunday, 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

Thank you to John for organising, it was a great day, so many cars on show in the arena that I didn't feel the slightest bit worried about the car.

FYI-Shannons told me that we are insured when we are at Summernats or any show n shine type event unless competing in go to whoa, burnouts, motokhanas etc.

We went as a family with Thomas and Reece as our kids :D

Well what a turn out and a great day. A big thank you to everyone who attended and "risked" their cars. Despite the fears of "Drunk V8 Bogans" damaging cars it turned out to be another car show with a few extra freebies and a lot more stalls.

What a stinker of a day it was, but you know the day will be good when all the V8's get nearly stripped searched before entering NATS and the Skylines just get waived through :-). I believe that is partly due to our social reputation in Canberra helped by turning up in large numbers to cars shows and not being dicks on the road. Of course having someone like Ladybytes as PR (loudmouth?) always helps.

There were quite a few skylines in attendance at the NATS, here's a few:

But this is what Summernats are known for, Girls and Burnouts.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
