Heh was just about to start a thread about this tonight!

Yeppers I'm in, and Donnan is too I believe, can't wait!

Remember guys this is not auto salon so don't be put off if your car isn't perfect. We've got some great big name cars coming, and it's all undercover so we don't have to worry what the weather's doing. It will be huge!!!

Details in the thread below:

Who is coming? I'm now available due to a change in work arrangements :)

You win one > hungry for more eh Kat?

Keep on polishing, and you won't have any paint left - lol

^^^ You girls are so good at self-deprecation; and then at the 11th hour, blast everyone else away with extra-precautions and super-presentations lol

What have you got in your boot? A check list for...

i) waterless spray-on wash in case you go thru a puddle on the way up?

ii) microfibre cloths; red for ON; blue for OFF?

iii) zymol wheel spray?

iv) so easy tyre shine?

v) meguiars rubber seal conditioner?

vi) armour-all for engine bay?

vii) autoglym yaddayadda?

That white beast will be gleaming! lol

^^^ OK, so tell that detailer of yours,

"You haven't done a decent job unless I can see blood on the floor + yellow dust on your overalls"!!! lol

(BTW I don't think I've been billed for this year's membership Shell)

LOL :D

Mine's still clean in the garage!!! She's looking very pretty after some love and attention after a wedding and Marques in the Park.

So all I'll have to do is drive up there. Haha might be a few microfibres in the boot and a spray bottle for spot cleaning.... :D

Lets just hope I don't get a big stone chip off my front bar on the way up because that was very poo!

^^^ OK, so tell that detailer of yours,

"You haven't done a decent job unless I can see blood on the floor + yellow dust on your overalls"!!! lol

:blink:

So anyone else from teh ACT keen?!?! Already over 100 entries and growing... still a week to go but we need you to put your entries in by early next week so the money clears etc. We *may* take entries on the day but space is limited so if it fills up before then you will miss out!

If anyone wants to pass their entries straight to me, that's fine too. And you are more than welcome to stay where I'm staying (only $105 a night) and cruise to the show the next morning with me also :D

MEDIA RELEASE - December 1, 2009

GODZILLA GEARS UP FOR A MONSTER 20TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

One of Australian motorsport's most infamous cars will provide the icing on the cake at an event celebrating the 20th anniversary of the iconic R32 Skyline.

The Skylines Australia NSW club is gearing up to showcase two decades of the iconic Japanese marque with a Show and Shine car show at the Fairfield Showground, on Sunday December 13.

Some of the most important Nissans in Australian motorsport history will be on display, including the original Godzilla - the rarely shown Bathurst winning Gibson Motorsport Skyline GTR.

Alongside Godzilla will be a race sized grid of current and past Skyline and Nissan race cars including:

= Group A and C touring cars

= Tarmac Rally cars including Targa Tasmania competitors

= Drift Australia cars

= Production Race Cars; and

= Wild Sports Sedans.

Pristine examples of all Skyline models including the brand new R35 GTR will also be buffed up and on show, alongside award-winning custom Show Cars.

While the aim of the day is to showcase the cars, it's also intended to also show that the majority of Skyline owners enjoy their cars safely and responsibly.

This will be Skylines Australia NSW club's fourth Show and Shine with this year's celebration expected to be the biggest yet, attracting over 150 show cars and 3,000 spectators.

Oooh did you want to PM me the details then Shell? I think I'd rather stay overnight than drive up early and at least my car will stay clean and safe.

Ditto, PM to me too plz!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
