Thats cool mate, family first...

Would like to get another Stag to replace MrRS4.. preferably an RS260, any volunteers ?

Does anyone have an early (1970's) GTR and want to enter ?

-D

She is due on the 23rd of nov so anything can really happen between then and the date i was going to go and leave her down here. But then there is that possibility i would have to leave and break a bit of law on the way home to get home so quick.

Its all good, the health of your wife/child is more important than the show :) You're always welcome to come incase you can find other arrangements, and I'm sure we'll get another person to come so dont stress :(

Just got off the phone from another tent company which Shane pmmed me about last night, this one is based in the riverland and will already be at the loxton oval with other tents. For a 4.5 x 4.5 mt tent (which will fit 22 people and a trestle table) the cost would be $270. obviously this is a bit more than the place based on adelaide, however the benefit is a) pete doesnt have to haul it from adelaide and b) they will set the tent up and take it down for us - leaving us more time to work on the cars... it'd bump the group fee up to $20-$25 but I'm sure people would prefer to pay the extra $5 than have to worry about setting up a huge tent.

Everyone think this is ok?

-D

Yep same.

I assume we are going to have to put in some $$ toward some form of decorating around the cars (like chequered flag runners or something?) .... so a 'participation fee' from SAU:SA is not unreasonable at all for everyone to be able to chill out and relax, and make our display kick-ass.

Are you still up typing reports like me Pete? :D

Maybe, maybe not. Cara has the nissan flags and the SAU banner, which I hope to get within the next couple of weeks so I can give them a good clean

Because the show is on an oval, we don't worry about flooring for the event - a nicely dressed car on lawn always looks good.

I'm getting my A3 display placard professionally printed and framed, which will cost around $120 which is a once off payment and can be used at other shows

I was also considering getting a bar towel with the GTR logo (http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/Nissan-Vintage-Classic-Skyline-Logo-Emblem-Sports-Towel-60090) or the beach towel (http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/NISMO-Logo-Beach-Towel-59900) and chucking a little 1:18 model on top, only problem is I'd be worried that someone would want to nick it :down: I'm also going to have a sticker or two from my mechanic, because he's been helping me out bigtime - if anyone wants to represent the people that work on their car, I'm fine with that (and its a cheap way to dress the car up and show your love to your mechanic/detailer/etc)

Towel and placard should be enough for myself, everyone is free to customize the display as they see fit. More nissan/skyline/gtr merchandise would be great though

I'm glad everyone is keen about this (and willing to contribute to the display). We have around 8-10 people confirmed so far, and I've sent messages to the last 4 to confirm their interest. I'll be at villis around 7pm tonight for a general brainstorm if anyone wants to come along.. I have some ideas which will make the display uber, but it all comes down to money and time

as mentioned b4 im down, ill wash my own car though u lazy bugga's

and something to note about having a model car there is that on a warm day theres a high chance it will melt. and its gonna be a hot day.

last 2 car shows i did i had mine there and had to keep chucking it into my boot every now and then for cool down breaks

I'd like a bring a model too ,,, but not the kind you stick in ya boot when she gets hot...lol

I'm happy to just park the Stagea on the lawn with a simple A3 list of details ... doors open and music pumping ... like at Kadina :down:

Cool Rubes, did you already have an A3 detail list made up or do you want assistance? I have basic photoshop skills but nowhere near Damo or Vu's ability

I've got the Adobe Suite ... so I'm all sorted :down:

ill finally have access to the Master Collection soon, finally, so club stuff will start looking better and better, combining InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is where its at.

Yep same.

I should consider doing a placard for the bike, but I wouldn't know where to start nor have the tenacity or will at the moment.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
