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).

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
