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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
