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!!

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
