They run these events for all enthusiasts Erin - and you're no exception so...

definitely...

a) get the bodywork and rims/tyres squeaky clean (including behind the fuel filler flap)

b) clay bar the panel work

c) polish the car and get out the swirls

d) apply sealer

e) apply canauba wax

f) get rid of every shred of grime in the engine bay, and coat the plastic bits.

One extra hint:- as the judges come around, ask them if they'd like to check behind the fuel filler flap.

Q. Why?

A. Guys always forget to clean that compartment.

You girls are always good at asking questions. You might as well put it to advantage! :thumbsup:

erin - what do you want to do that for? like, really... what do you wanna enter it in a show n shine?

i mean - if you're proud of it and it doesn't cost money to enter you have nothing to lose..

but really - if it's going to cost $200 like autosalon does...

...then why bother? why pay $200 so that some idiot can "scoff" at your entrance?

that $200 could go towards a lot nicer things for your car :)

furthermore... while i'm getting my rant on...

...i have NEVER understood why car owners are made to PAY to enter THEIR CARS into autosalon..

i mean - you go to a music festival - the bands and dj's get paid as they are the focal point of the event, the organisers pay them money because without them... there would BE no music festival?

so why does every car entrant have to pay so much money, when without them - there would BE no autosalon?

I've been saying that for years.... it's because the organisers are in it to make money. But without the cars, there would be no show... Entry should be free or THEY should even pay the competitors to put their cars in!! Why put in all the time and effort, just to have a bunch of people walk around looking at your car and if it's worthy maybe take a few pics... maybe get a trophy? big deal, people see my car every time I drive it on the road :laugh:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
