its being planned no need to bump the thread.

Yep, that's right, but in the mean time, you SHOULD be getting yourselves to the Texikhana and the Oran Park days leading up to the Show and Shine.

I mean, it's all well and good to own a nice-looking car that sits well in a static display (and I hate seeing my car dirty or looking less than its best, so I know what this is like), but it's even better to experience how well it GOES without risking the loss of your licence or car and putting other's lives at risk... :down:

Do it, you KNOW you want to. Links are here:

Texikhana: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Te...da-t270833.html

Oran Park South Circuit: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Or...ou-t279028.html (this is an SAU-NSW member's link for the time being, so if you're not a member yet, this is yet another excuse to become one - as a club member, you'll be given priority placement when this event is announced officially)

I was gob-smacked today. Why we have never looked at the Showgrounds at Fairfield I'll never know. This site has everything we want. What about parking for 200-300 hundred cars all under cover. Parking for trailers/spectators/tradies ect is massive. There's in excess of 400 hundred parking spots outside the actual show area.

Don't pencil this in,,,use a permanent marker.

Sounds awesome, i wouldn't know where too look, everytime i see a skyline on the roads or parked somewhere i cant help but stare untill its out of view. Id love to bring my r33 but everyone would have to go easy on me :thanks: only had it 6weeks and havent beenable to fix it up as well as id like( has ugliest rims).

I brought my standard ass 33 to the last Show N Shine. I would love to bring it back again as it's come a LONG way.

If you want to enter your car then do it. If you want to just walk around and chat about your car (and trust me, people will listen!) then do it! :(

You come away with a bajillion things that you want to do to your car! :worship:

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
