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 :)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
