For low cars I'm sure we can organise wooden planks for any super low cars.

Also need to re-iterate:

  • Entry to the show is free to the public if you want to come have a look
  • Only SAU VIC members can have their car on display (per council permit)
  • The $50 is a membership drive for new SAU VIC members. Normally it is $70
  • Membership will pay for itself and then some if you ever decide to use our sponsors/supporters. Also need to be part of a CAMS affiliated club if you do ever decide to track your car.

Perhaps the same people who were worrying about static move in/out times at docklands last year! No more mention of the war / the entrance...we will have it covered! Worst case scenario, you don't like the look of it and drive home :)

So for a topic change, how does everyone prepare their car for this sort of thing? Do you polish and wax, full monty or just a quick squirt off at the pay n spray?

Should be great walking traffic at Como, I've heard the place populates on a sunny day.

My preparation will consist of the following.

- Get out of bed

- Shower/clothe myself then eat breakfast.

- Get into lift, go to my car, open doors start it

- Drive to Como park

- Park car

- Admire it in it's full commodore glory

- Go home

Just a quick wash and go for me

Unless someone really feels like washing, clay bar, polish, sealant & waxing my car for me :D

na leave all the rubber marks from the track day on there ;)

My preparation will consist of the following.

- Shower/clothe myself then eat breakfast.

Geee aren't we lucky ones!!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
