Im so keen to go and have a look around as im new and check out how people have modified their cars and get more ideas, but after reading all this that’s up here. Im going to hide my car in my garage because people will be laughing at me if I’ll bring my car out that day.

Bring it out. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. It is your car, so you should build it the way you want. Other people may not like it and the polite thing to do is not say anything. However, this is the real world and everyone has a opinion they want to be heard.

All I can say is go live in Sydney like I used to...you will soon feel the same way as me.

And as for $$ for Canberra...well 4-5cars so maybe 10-15 people really isn't going to do much for the economy.

Thats what Summernats is for.

And I know what the f**k JDM stands for, but in context it means Styled the way the Japanese do, i.e JDM Style

I'm pretty sure I'll never feel the same as you, some sexspec cars can look pretty cool and I consider myself a tolerant person, within reason anyway.

Summernats is for ADM (American/Australian Domestic Market). They are usually pretty narrow minded about their car tastes, maybe you would fit in there.

"Styled the way the Japanese do" Ever heard of VIP? It's pretty similar to sexspec. Lowered, big flashy rims, weird paint jobs etc. I also see alot of japanese cars with soft toys in then, all over the dash etc, maybe we should start doing that.

lol @ the Fast and Furious quote. Some of my favs include "2JZ Engine no shit!!" and "Overnight parts from Japan if we have to" oh and "A Motec System Exhaust"

some of us and i mean me were there early helped set up did what i wanted and left!!!!!!!!!!

I appretiate the help setting up also :happy:

Well the day turned out to be great despite the rain. We had a mix of cars and a great bunch of people turned up.

If it all goes ahead next year hopefully we will have some sunny weather.

Over the next few days im sure we will have some pictures posted up on our flickr account for all the people that didnt make it to see.

Thanks again to all the guys and girls that turned up

I was happy with my run of 439 awkw, BUT I would have liked the supra boys to show up, I would wound another few pounds in and have given rwkw a go... But still none the less very happy to win Dyno Dominator and AWD in a Skyline ;)

we dont play in the rain haha i think a distinct lack of info and then the rain pretty much destroyed any chances of supras going. mines in a workshop so thats my excuse. next year there should be better weather and hopefully more will show interest.

saw the very last dyno run and got soaked by that bloody tarp at teh same time haha

so whats the next big event in the ACT?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
