Is it ok to turn up on the day just to "park and display" and spectate only?

Just wondering if anyone knows where the sign in will take place? Is it possible(as some have to travel from Melbourne) to sign in on the morning of the Sunday event, as this is the case with many track days?

Thanks, James

all your answers can be found here - www.skylinenationals.com

Sign in is Friday, if you only want to do the track day, then we may be able to arrange something, but i cannot promise we can do it as its going to be a very busy morning getting the cars thru scrutineering

so we would rather not be signing more people in at the same time....

there's a whole bunch of us going over from Mildura, but no one's taking a Skyline / Silvia, highway is too bumpy!

Born & bred in Mildura (Moved out 20 years ago - Yes, I'm old :D ). The highway is truly shite, always has been.

should see the state of the fxxking main road to the highway here in the Barossa Valley. Pot hole filled goat track that gets worse everytime it rains.

Spend the whole time on it trying not to destroy the Volks on the Skyline, even more fun on my bike. :D

Damn it!!!!

I was going to get the race car ready for this meet but someone broke into my mate's workshop and stole my custom PWR radiator and a catch can.

I have almost every spare except for these thing.....it's going to be even harder to get this car completed.

I think I will be spectating this weekend.

Bloody thief, ruined a good weekend.

weird that they would just pinch those two things, or did the place get cleaned out?

yeah gtrtech, its not too bad past Renmark now, but over the Victorian side especially, parts feel like a rollercoaster with the bowing of the road and then the sections which have become rippled etc from the trucks!

Your V35 hasn't ever made it to Mildura then? I've seen a nice white one near Merbein several times...

Only been back to Mildura once in it, but we were staying out near Red Cliffs. It's a silver sedan.

As I said it always been shit. About the only thing thats changed is that now wider and shit.

Used to go home every 2nd weekend for 12 months on my bike from Adelaide before the missus moved over. Not nice.

Sorry to Bring up an old thread Guys,

BUT we have had some fantastic news come in from HPI magazine.

i don't want anyone to read into this post.

The following is a fantastic thing for Every Skyline Enthusiast in Australia and it should be Shared here the Largest Collection of Skyline Enthusiasts in Australia.

The Most Successful Skyline Nationals Ever. and it wasn't possible without you the members and committee's involved in SAU.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      That's good to hear I'll stick with the stock I hear they are good for 500hp and I'm only shooting for 350-400 once I can get this thing sorted and get to actually building it.

      The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
