i think it was possible a couple years ago but what happened was people just took a stack of forms and voted for themselves 100's of times haha.

Opening does depend on city of melb. But maybe a 930-1130 opening next year.

Having cars moving around while the general public are walking around is tried to be kept minimal.

In saying that you will always get people coming late.

It's a great location, but i'm just wondering if the event is going to be held back by having a narrow opening window on a Sunday morning. Pros and cons, but maybe we can try something else next year that allows some of the stragglers to turn up? I know the entry time was more than communicated but we all know it's going to happen, and if the net result is having a bigger and better event, then maybe it's worth allowing a bit more for those that can't get up early enough?

Would definitely increase turnout, trouble is finding a location that will let you do it. I think Waterfront City were pretty strict on their move in and move out times, because they don't want it to interfere with walking traffic too much. Hopefully next year the events guys get started on organisation a bit earlier and it will give them some room as far as possible locations...if you can find a good one though, let them know!

i think passers by should be able to vote..

Agreed, just need some way to control it, for as Pat said some people just vote for themselves lol. And members of the public probably wouldn't want to fill out 10 classes with votes. Maybe have a "crowd pleaser" class where randoms can vote on their favourite overall?

I think the location is very good.

Docklands as a decent setup.

Yeh fare point. I wonder if waterfront city have another location. I think the premo spots we will need to pay for

Hey John I didn't get a chance to chat to you on the weekend, didn't know you are from the peninsula, where abouts? My fams place is near Flinders.

And Birds crowd pleaser class would be awesome. Is there a problem with people voting for themselves if someone hands out the voting cards instead? Therefore no one can get doubles?

Its a tough one and no easy way around the voting but maybe its a decision which is to be left up to the club execs (similar to other car shows) otherwise people are always going to vote for themsleves and their friends.

Just another option.

The NUR with plates INURI belongs to my mate... We tried to get his car in the event but it was closed lol

I see,

Would have been great to see it enter.

Any chance your friend bought that car from one of the owners of JAKS Motorsports (Alex)?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
