I'm not surprised....and I am also relieved....everything is saturated and the traffic mess that will occur this afternoon won't be fun.

A little disappointed as I pushed hard to get my car finished today. On the bright side, I am off to pick it up now :)

One of our most tasty R34 GTR's can't make it due to the schedule change. Somebody else have an example worthy of being on the official SAU trade stand? PM me your details (pic too if possible). Must be able to register VIP and be there @ 4:30 sharp.

Ok, so here is THE PLAN!

(Huge thanks to NXTIME for finding and scouting the location for us!)

A member has a contact that works in this business park. It has been verified to be pretty much empty by 5:00 pm on a Friday and has tons of room for the SAU crowd. We don't know if there will be other groups meeting there (since this is a public event) but it easily accomodates between 80 and 100 cars.

It goes without saying that anyone revving their engines, burn outs, loud music or generally bad behaviour will be asked to immediately leave and will be reported to the authorities. Being in this group you are representing SAU:NSW and our code of conduct, member or not.

Two groups probably means that the SAU entries in the mega meet will be in at least two locations, assuming they park the mega meet cars first come first serve. VIP's will be in one group and general entry in the other.

Group 1: VIP's and SAU Trade Stand Entries (we only have room for about 8 on our trade stand and they have already been identified)

Meet up at the location at 4:30 and will be departing at 5:00 pm SHARP to go the few minutes to the Mega Meet location. A small group of execs/trade stand members will depart earlier to report back on the entry conditions. This MAY require earlier departure time if queuing is bad.

SO BE PREPARED TO DEPART ANY TIME BETWEEN 4:30 AND 5:00 PM!

Group 2: General Entry should arrive to the meet location between 5:00 and 6:00 pm. Group two should depart the location at 6 PM sharp!

If the groups get split by the traffic lights there isn't a whole lot we can do as we expect the whole area to be chock full of cars trying to get to the meet. So do your best and don't try any funny business to stay together.

As long as the groups leave together we can try to reassemble in the meeting parking lot.

Expect a long queue and to be sitting on idle for a while.

TIP! Be sure to check your radiator fluid to make sure your car won't over heat.

MEETING LOCATION: Industrial Car Park off Holbeche Rd & Walters Rd, Arndell Park (Meeting will be in the Red Triangle marked on the map)

DO NOT enter from Holbeche Rd as that driveway is steep and crested. The two driveways on Walters Rd are lip/exhaust friendly, with the on on the lowest part of this picture being nearly flat.

So we are stIll meeting at this same place and time this Friday?

Yes, still meeting there. Most cars can get in via the 'northern' Walters Rd driveway (wide enough to enter at an angle to avoid scraping). Any very lowered cars should use the 'southern' Walters Rd entry 40m further down if you have any concerns.

Also, VIP Entry is via the Sydney Dragway Spectator Entry gate which is the second entry when heading south on Ferrers Rd

General Entry is via the Sydney Dragway Competitors Entry gate (as per the map above)

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
