Excellent. :)

Trent if you guys want to either come early - or stay a while later I can arrange storage of your cars in Melb as well if you like. There are some good 2 Day Phillip Island days around Oct/Nov + another really good day at Sandown on Oct 16th.

Plus for others thinking of coming specifically for the motorsport side Winton will be open on the Friday before the SAU Nats (non timed practice) and also on the Sunday with our affiliate car club (WRX Club) that we can arrange entry for.

The other option for extra motorsport is to stop off at Bathurst for Drive Bathurst on Nov 9-13. There are a few of us from here doing this after the Nationals.

We are trying to put a plan together to have 10 Mercury cars come down, including Mark's R35 Time attack car.

Do or do not, there is no try.

On second thoughts, just do. Forget the do not.

Holy fark - 10 cars, that would be an awesome!

Noel (Fineline) and a few others were all looking to come down as well so you would get some decent priced half-way accommodation as well if you were going to do it in two parts.

When you've worked out the cars you are bringing - shoot me a PM or gimme a buzz if you still have my number Trent.

Would like to use some of them as Featured Cars on the website, facebook and all that kinda thing :thumbsup:

That goes for anyone else as well with a car thats a little different!

Shaping up to be quite the spectacle indeed. Be quite amazing to see a good fleet of R35s about.

We are looking at going with a couple of cars - R32 and R35 GTR

However it would be worth it alone just to see Handbrakes awesome car again and the rest of the Mercury fleet. Tough stuff these things :)

Make that "...a few cars - R32 and 2 x R35 GTR's..."

Slip.

Sebs a good man. He knows a week is more than enough time to turn it around.

Actually mate - the Sandown day I mentioned on Oct 16th is the Maserati Day that you can Neil came down for previously. There are plenty of cool cars at that event (just not likely to be any actual Maserati's however! LOL)

And rASh - Slips car definitely needs to be a feature car too :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
