I was talking to the powerplay guys this afternoon, they have approx 10-15 cars (some theirs, some customer) coming along as well :(

Looks like its gunna be a HGE day, we've organised for 4 Team Raceworx cars to come along, shame Pete "remodelled" his last weekend ;)

Tis gonna be HUGE Duncan, I already told you that we have to add the U this time to highlight just how big the day is gonna be!!!

I can't wait guys and girls... will be awesome!

Sunday

Fine. Warm. Northeast to southeast winds.

Wow.

What a day! Next to no sleep, woke up (still drunk) an HOUR EARLY because I forgot about daylight savings, and made my way to Wahroonga Shell servo for the 7am meetup.

Early morning rain meant that the cars had to be re-cleaned when we arrived at Mingara, but it wasn't too bad.

I'm lightly toasted (sunburnt) from walking around all day taking photos.. I still have no idea where all those cars came from!!! All those R34 GTRs came from nowhere! Are they all on the forums? Where did they hear about the Show 'n Shine??? Absolutely AWESOME that they came along though! Made the show eleventy billion times better :)

And all those spectators!!! We should really have asked them where they heard of the event, so we can pursue those avenues of advertising for future events! The spectator turnout was INCREDIBLE!!!

Top marks for all the organisers... I couldn't fault the day one bit, except for the heroes who decided to do burnouts on the grass... I wish I had seen it, because I swear on my life I would have taken down their plates and called the police on them. That kind of immature behaviour has no business taking place at SAU events.

I concur with Andrew - the number of people who took the time to prepare their cars and enter was not expected, there were over 50 entrants and the level cars on display was great, my vote for best car was the midnight purple GTR! Hohoho!

This event has been twelve months in the making, to the organisers who have given their time freely in order to raise the profile of jap imports and to the sponsers who have given freely THANK YOU!!

To the idiots on the grass, in particular the clown in the 180SX in Moanie group, don't bother showing up at any future SAU events, you are NOT welcome.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
