Sixty bucks - ouch!

The biggest scam must have been the "No Alcohol" Thursday though - thirty bucks to get in, no pavilions open, very few entrants cars around, and, yeah, no alcohol....

Alcohol is the biggest problem at the Summernats. If you can't see that then you're either as thick as two short planks or a bogan feral pisshead that causes the problems.

Would you take your missus to the Nats on any day other than Thursday? I know I wouldn't. Not in a pink fit.

If they didn't serve piss from first thing in the morning on every other day there would be half the problems there are now.

"Hi my name is Richard and I am an alcoholic"^^^

Seriously dude, posting at 12:23am while half pissed?? :D

Haha, It was actually Shell, she was drunk posting again in the NSW Members section last night :(

Linky for the members!

I think you may have misinterpreted my post, not that it justifies the personal attack.

I didn't personally have a problem with there being no alcohol, in fact I happened to be there on the Thursday and Friday and didn't drink at all.

The issue was more the fact they were charging 30 bucks for people to get into a practically non-existent event, and heavily promoting it on the basis of being alcohol free, as opposed to being trade stand free and largely car free.

There were so few people around on the Thursday, and most of those were either busy setting up trade stands or preparing their cars for the alcohol ban to have made much difference. In reality it probably only meant the traders couldn't have a beer until after 6:00.

If they were serious about accomodating non-bogans and families at the event, they would have a full day (e.g. Friday) alcohol free, and free admission on the set-up day.

Maybe a vague knowledge of "responsible service of alcohol" by the vendors would help on the other days too....

don't take it personally? hmmm....ok

Cheer up mate. If that line was the main thrust of what you originally said (and you mentioned the grog twice so it looked like it was) and you couldn't see that too much is what causes 90% of the problems at the nats, then the statement stands.

You said that it wasn't the main point of what you were on about so it doesn't apply and there's nothing to take personally. By the same token, that statement stands for anyone who thinks that alcohol isn't a problem at the Nats.

Well Sunday was lame as, it was like an organised event. I took and displayed the GTR - no problems again. Where were the top less models, no where I tell you. Where were the drunken idiots, again no where.

It happened to feel like 40 degrees and everyone just wanted water and shade. The go-to-wo was good, the burn outs were good. The jet car driving around the park I thought was a bit dangerous but no one was drunk enougth to follow behind.

I would be bored at Autosaloon but I love the idea of no grog at an event about driving nice cars. Maybe combine the two, cut out the camping and grog.

lol i went down to wagga to stay at the uni with my mate who goes there...the bar there had big containers n was selling goon n juice for 2 bucks a cup

i lol'd

oi dont be baggin out wagga!!! haha its a cheap night out if you wanna seduce some ladies!! :down:

Sheesh alright, only been back on here a couple of days after a lengthy absence.

Seems like it's not the sort of forum it once was.........

It's an awesome forum :P it was a brudder from anudder forum who pressed ya buttons, not us :down:

Welcome back :P

I'm not 100% sure but the same sources told me that the wet t-shirt comp was cancelled and apparently it was (I was working so I wouldnt know) but my sources tell me that the arrangements to have the nats moved to Sydney are under way and most probably will be in Sydney next year. I saw a few Skylines in the paddock and had a fun time listening to the occasional bogan trying to explain to his mate what 'machines' they were...although the left a turbo out for one of the GTRs i saw there (r32). Did many people see the maroon R32 GTR near the fence line? Only 12000km on the odometer and was originally owned by Mark Skafe. I know the guy who owns it, and when i saw it driving away its rear indicator is the outside tail light rather then the light between the two tail lights. Looked pretty nice (had my stockies on it that i swapped for his)

Apologies to Shell about our ATM and how it ran out of cash on Saturday(shell servo), happens every year and I'm the one who has to tell everyone that we only cashout $50 per transaction, when most people wants atleast $100.

I don't blame the servo ATM at all... cos really we shouldn't have to come out of the Nats to try and use it in the first place, they should have adequate facilities inside :) Can't believe they only had one atm in the whole place!

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
