Not even close!!

Pick mine up Friday night then drive to Loxton.... nothing like cutting it fine! LOL

+1 Martin.

Just picked up the horse float for the steel horse (hrmm, reminds me of a Bon Jovi song) and gotta cut the floor for some tie down cleats followed by the monster task of turning all that fiddly chrome into a mirror........I'm so over it and haven't even started yet cause of all the work that I need to clear first!! :D

Krishy, I've been told that your entrance was paid as well as abes from cara. Since Cara is no longer involved, you should give Stuart a call in regards to this. While I'm not responsible for co-ordinating entrants payment of the show, I would say that perhaps not all items were posted on the same day and that you might get yours on Monday. If not, call Stuart - I know Cara has confirmed on his behalf that they have recieved both yours and Abes entry fees - did you lodge the form with it? In either case, the entry fees and forms are your responsibility and you should follow this up directly with stuart.

Southies should probably follow Sled and Shane

Northies should meet the majority of the pack at Bunnings carpark parafield airport at 12:30 for a 1pm departure after distribution of 2 way radios and plans and a quick word from myself...we'll drive to gawler via heaslip road and then head up to loxton via the barossa bypass route. We'll be keeping to the speed limit 100%, and I'll expect everyone to keep a healthy distance from the man in front so we dont end up chipping our cars on the way up.... the difference between 110kph and 140kph in most cases is only a 5-10 minute difference, and i'm not keen on a speeding fine just to save a few minutes...

on sour news, i hit a spoon drain, 24 hours after picking up my gtr with the spoiler lip fitted and teins fitted.... seems that the teins cant stop the lip from hitting shit... scraped the underside and cracked 2 parts on the front *sigh*

Krishy you should get yours Monday...hopefully, as i got mine on Friday.

I'm not sure which way I'll go, I'm South (Aldinga), and whereis.com.au is saying the fastest/shortest way is to head north to Salisbury, Nurioopta, Blanchetown, then onto Loxton. Hmmm, to leave at 1pm or 2pm...

Shame to hear about the front lip Ben, after all that was done.

You'd probably be better off joining sled and shane. pm them for meeting details.

whereis calculates miles travelled rather than the amount of time you'll spend at the traffic lights. you'll probably get there sooner than us if you follow pete and shane....

however if you're happy to do a bit of a hike, meet us at bunnings and grab a 2 way radio

Travelmate Online:

Gawler to Loxton = 205km, 2hr 43min

Murray Bridge to Loxton = 176km, 2hr 20min

Suppose it depends where you live and how long it takes you to get to either Gawler or Murray Bridge....from my home it's 1 hr either way, (MB is 20km further but no stop lights & has less traffic).

So total km for me would be approx the same either way yet I save almost 1/2 hr off my journey with less traffic to dodge. :)

Succinctly put. If you're north of the CBD, meet at bunnings

If you're south, speak to Pete (SLED) and go via the less travelled route - I myself would prefer the MB route but it would add an hour to my travel cause im in the North East...

Havent yet, Dan has a relative down there so i may try and organise something there.

I may have somewhere you could sleep. I am in the Riverview Motel Suite, apparently it has 1 x double bed 1 x single bed and 2 fold out single divan. I got the double, my mate i am taking has got the single....and then the 2 fold outs, we shall see what happens :P, you may need your own linen/sleeping bag if you sleep on the fold out.

Good thinking - make sure if u get any extra guests u let the hotel staff know and pay the extra.. would hate to see u guys kicked out for staging a gay orgy :D

and dion, its quicker in distance but theres a lot more traffic lights to go thru - we'll call a vote on the day n see what people wanna do...

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
