Good stuff Ruby! Successful comeback! :D
I'm ecstatic! I retired from competition 7 years ago, and I've only prepared for this in the last 3 months. I had no expectation other than just see how things have changed over years, and how out of shape I am. It still hasn't sunk in yet. Monday we went to look around Fremantle prison and Whitemans Park before flying home. Got home 10.30 last night.

hey guys and girls i have pick up the family and moved down from pannawonica to perth and am keen to get together and meet some fellow stagea drivers

if anyone is keen for a drive and bbq some where that would be good

24/10/10 from 10am till 3:30pm...........Here's an idea, it is South, and we could make a day of it. Bring the missus and kids. It would be a fairly decent run too.

The British Auto Classic 2010 is a free entry, family-friendly event with something for everyone, with a huge display of classic British motor vehicles at its centre. This, the largest display of its kind in regional Western Australia is supported by two large market areas, with some 100 plus traders offering a range of goods and services second to none.

The event is 100 per cent smoke free and offers a wide range of healthy food choices and top quality local fresh produce. The adjacent Memorial Hall is the venue for the "NLV Wine and Gourmet Expo".

On the Lotterywest Outdoor Stage, the "Go for 2 and 5 All Day Variety Show" will provide a family show with music and dance plus prizes and giveaways.

those event details.....

When:

24 October 2010

10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Where:

Waroona Town Oval

South Western Highway , Waroona, WA

Contact: Terry Cockerham

Org: Event Assist Inc.

Tel: (08) 9586 1010

Appealing, you're saying crash the party with some japan-wagons?

Sounds good. :banana::)

Oh well I am going anyway.... if anyone wants to meet, and cruise down, how about we meet at Cockburn Gateways at 9:00 am for a 9:30 leave. This way we can cruise out to either the SW highway, or we can go down the freeway and cut across to Waroona. I am not going to be leaving late, we've had too many "no-shows" in the past.

I just thought that this could be an ideal run, something for everyone. Craft and things for the wife and kids, and lots of cars to look over for the boys. Hmmm I don't know about gatecrashing, ain't no comparrison between a new(ish) Jap car and a British Classic, trust me I have both!!

This would be good, but ends up I got to work. tried to talk chuckie into it and no. Come get your money you slack bastid. lol

Sorry about the late reply but i have just started working away on a two and one roster but i am off this weekend and me and the missus are keen to go for a cruise to this show so the meet point will be at getways hey

Hey Jim, if you don't wanna drive up to Gateways just to drive back, that's OK, we can make a quick stop-off on the way.

We could meet you at the Caltex (I think it is) at the Safety Bay road/Baldivis Road roundabout. That'd be at about 9:45am.

Anyone else intending to come?

We[the family] are in, although we might have to meet you there.

organising everyone that early could prove difficult. But sounds like a good ET though.

Will be sure to say Hi when we eventually catchup. :)

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
