Past most of the skyline crew last night. Wasn't in the 33 though, was in my old car (Subaru Liberty RS) with my mate driving.

Anyone know who own's the maroon 33 gts-t that was doing burnouts all night.. Sounded wicked powerful, just don't understand why the need for burnouts.....

Edited by sfrizza

Were you in that white Liberty?

Yeah we saw the 33 pulling burnouts.

I had a great time, the highlights were the Countach and the F360 giving it some up the street, I think it made Frink wee a little bit.

For those of you that weren't there early enough, a couple of idiots drove past out their car window yelling "Hey nice car bro, do they make them for men?" - they were driving one of these:

Yep, White Liberty sedan with "RS" number plates. One of the very more tastefully modded ones.

I couldn't believe the amount of wrx's, silver one with gold rims and whitewalls...ewwww, to low as well.

Saw a blue "low intentions" club member ride get defected for sitting at the petrol station dumped on its rear. Cop also pinged him for the side mirrors (which were pretty much razor blades)..

Good to catch up with some peoples who i have not seen in a while. Is it just me or was the quality/amount of cars down a fair bit on normal ???

maybe the people with the nicer cars tend to keep away from the whole braddon thing... with cops & defects, and such a big crowd these days, it might not appeal??

I saw some amazing cars today in the Top 60 pavillion... I guess you dont really see those ones cruising braddon though!

>_<

i got a few pics from inside the pavilion, think i saw you aswell Shell. Were you in a group with 3 guys?

was really difficult to get pics in there, so crowded and so many people walking through pics you had to take what you could get...

So badly deafened and sunburnt from the day, first time i've made it there. Tried for the past 5 years but never seem to get there...

yep!

why you not say hello farken? :(

haha wasnt sure it was even you, was going off the pictures from the braid wood cruise thread.

"Hey are you Shell from a skyline internet forum?"

"No :) "

"...Fair enough"

no thankyou

true shell i would not expect those cars out but just overall i thought there may be a few more nicer ones out there based on previous years :) anyways drove by last night on the way home from a mates house and only noticed a white s1 r33 so i just kept going

There hasnt been nice (and actual summernats entrant) cars out in Braddon since 2005.

A few nice cars got trashed that year in Braddon (one that stands out is a beautiful Walkinshaw getting pelted with bottles) and the police came down extremely hard on entrant cars cruising around that year too. So they dont really go out anymore as its not worth it.

The crowd control is better inside the summernats these days so if you want to see the good cars, go hangout on Tuff Street inside on Friday night.

The only time I went anywhere near braddon during the week at night I saw a bright pink magna slammed on huge chromies with rubber bands for tyres, pissed myself laughing and kept on driving in the opposite direction.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
