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 ;)

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
