So how come nobody here ever mentions powercruise? I went last year for a look and thought it was the best modified car meet i have been to. At least it is easy to enter and have some fun!Are you guys scared of the turbo chevs or some thing? who cares! Modified is modified! I am pissed off that i missed it this year cause i am so busy with work cause i prepared my car for this event and didnt even know it was on because the website i spend every night on(here) didnt even mention it! I saw heaps of imports there last year, but i suppose they arent from this website

Because powercruise is always right after Jamboree which is a much better event. Jamboree has REAL racing rather than a commo skidfest, which, I can go down to the local hangout and see on a Thursday night if I wanted to. The quality of promo girls is mmm, ok but that's it, just ok. Then it's just a masisve line of yank tanks and cmmodores racing each other slowly around a circuit in short bursts.

Each to their own though, you might like that kind of thing. Most people here don't seem to hence the lack of mention.

Bookmark it so you won't forget next year or try http://www.streetcommodores.com.au/ as they might mention it more

It's pretty costly if you go the full 3 days and decide to get a shed and shit. I prefer the 1 day powerplay's, as it alot cheaper. This year cost us only 80 to enter and 200 for the garage, since we had 5 of us going. If you don't have a garage you don't get a pit pass, which means you have to line up out in the car park and wait to get out on the track. If you have the pit pass you can go as many times as you like, no waiting.

also the qscan r35 was there blitzing everything making tough old toranas look like they were idling along

:worship: the noise it made was just orgasmic lol

You should have heard it from in the cabin! It was a blast piloting that around the track.

Ive noticed the lack of interest on here for powercruise, but its fair enough the event isnt overly focused on imports. for example one of the main fetures of the event is the saturday night burnout comp, which is always going to be dominated by torque monster chevs and fords (although saying that two skylines did have a chop at it all be it with relativly disapointing results).

as for jambo beening a better event, i would say they both have there good and bad points, but the powercruise this year was well below the standard set in previous year. i highly doubt ill attend in 2012.

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
