Hi Guys,

I'm not trying to stir the pot or anything but I'm genuinely interested to know which event is most likely to be attended?

I'll take my JDM R32 GT-R to both events but also want to take my ADM to the bigger event.

I thought there were a couple of hundred cars at Shepperton last year so I'm curious to see how that compares to these two events.

Thanks for any feedback.

Cheers,

Bob.

yeah i will go to both if i can afford it, probably will scrape it in to both.

if could only do one it would be the SAU nats as i already went to shepparton and had a ball, expect similar good times in Goulburn and will probably know more people at the SAU event. That said will probably also have an amazing time at the nationals, both events cant come soon in my books.

gimme an offical sau nat thread now please!

Hands down the skyline nationals is the proven biggest Nationals For Skylines event in Australia, Shepparton had nowhere as many cars as the Skyline nationals in glenelg 2010 (Thanks to the support from SA-SAU)

Skyline Nationals even has a class at the show and shine for AUSDEL R32 GTR's..........

Being a Sydney boy the Skylines nationals would be my pick for making a weekend of it, plus I want to see some of the older classic, I take my hat off to the classic car guys, so much time and effort finding or chasing parts, its not like they can go down the local wreckers and find parts fo most of these cars.

Wouldn't have been far off that Bob.

Track day the entire Winton front carpark was full, so given 60 on the track, dozen support vehicles inside... Rough stab would say 160-170 on the Sat (was cool seeing 5 Bayside Blue 34GTR's all parked next to each other).

The Show'n'Shine has 140 entered as there were 30 or so that turned up on the day, with another 20 or so on the street who's owners chose not to enter and 10 or so on trailers off to the side.

Was a pretty good turnout overall.

SAU Nats this year is also SAU's 10th B'day, so a few added surprises coming :)

If you can go to both, do that. If not, up to you to decide! SAU Nats has 3 solid days of stuff to checkout.

gimme an offical sau nat thread now please!

Thread is up in Nats section - 3 full days of action.

Website undergoing minor improvements based on heaps of feedback and should be done in a few weeks. Entry should follow a fortnight after with a bit of luck.

Yep... 800m runs, if possible 400m as well (just gotta sort it logistically).

All fully timed... With a speed trap and a dirty big read out where the viewing area is so everyone can compare the size of their doddle in real time

Well and truly into 4th dude! Some will be into 5th no problems in a lot of cases (provided they don't break haha).

Should be interesting to see what sort of times some of the cars will do in straight lines over the 800m, reckon there could be a few surprises as well ;)

280km/h roughly based on what the big power cars were doing at Temora1000 last year (they were just over 300km/h if my memory is correct).

They will definitely be hauling ass and it'll make for some great footage for the DVD :)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
