you guys gonna organise a cruise or something??

Good luck "cruising" through the main streets associated with the Summernats. Try bumper to bumper traffic and crowds 3 deep on both sides of the road.

Cannnnnnn't wait !!!

All i remember from last years summernats are bumper to bumper RTA road stops... lotsa defects getting given away that weekend. i'd prefer not to get another one, so i think my quiet exhaust will have to come out for the weekend. how do the petrol head V8 owners react with the sleek turbo machines? i can't comment on it much, i've had both now :(

I only went to braddon on the friday and saturday nights last year, but it was pretty good as far as V8 vs everyone else rivalry. Huge police presence in Braddon meant that most people were pretty relaxed and there wasn't much trouble at all.

Huge number of nice cars tho, and people everywhere. It was awesome. I can't wait till this year.

You must have been on the other side of town.

Last year (well beginning of this year actually) the cops setup a defect station on the main hwy into Canberra about 2km before the showground, I got my exhausted tested (which passed). On 1 of the main roads in town from the summernats showground they setup another defect station, I still remember watching a smick VL Walkinshaw getting done over for about 30mins last time (but then I became side tracked by a lowie at a servo that everyone was making fun of hahah).

After 25 laps of Calder my clutch is slipping :P, NOT HAPPY!

Will be going up with my mate in his XA coupe.

I too had no problems last year when i entered my 'line. But my mate did get a db test done on his exhaust.

We can compare defect stickers as no doubt i'll get 1 on the way in from NSW for not wearing the correct colour socks or something :D

I'll be in a Red R33 with SAU seat covers ;)

    • @Darrel Can you get pump e85 where you are? If you want to max out those turbos, e85 + bigger modern injectors will be the easiest way to get you there. 
    • Hi @Butters , thanks for your reply. Pump 97 BTW but yeah, I get that old tech is what it is and can't compare to modern stuff but I still believe 500 is achievable, even with these smallish twins. Their effective limit is around what, 24 psi? Intend to go single one day but then again, I'm not chasing big power and might not be worth the investment. Just wondering what if any factors are limiting my setup after a few changes. Let's call this Dyno 02. This is after R35 MAFs, 720cc injectors, DW300 FP, HKS step 2 264/264 cams.
    • Was away on holidays last week and hadn't heard from powder coater, so I gave them a bell and it was all ready. Went and picked it up yesterday and gave it a clean this afternoon and started bolting it up.  Mate finally got around to ordering my new ECU, hopefully thats here this week and I can start getting that mounted and finish the wiring on it. Tomorrow I'll try and get the exhaust back in and see what else I can tick off the list
    • Never heard of a fully built nismo gearbox. what exactly is in it?
    • 2530 is a 250-300whp turbo on 98, So  x 2 , take some tax as you have two and that is your answer. You tend to have to have the boost pretty high in twin setup, which is not great for U98 as heat kicks in quick.   As above though, more injector is going to get you more but you need to be realistic with a older twin setup on 98 fuel. Cool as heck but not the best way to make power these days.
