I went yesterday, first ever car meet for me. Was awesome to see all the vehicles rolling in to the showground at first, but it soon turned into people down burn outs in and around the car park and onto the roads. There was a strong, positive correlation to those doing burn outs and p-plates, burn outs and stock (or close to) vehicles, and burn outs to civics/integras/pulsars. Hate to generalise, but these guys were the ones that caused the police to show in force.

$5 entry, venue was relatively large and convenient, but the 'meet' shouldn't be confused with a show - there were not many interesting cars to see. Comparisons were drawn to this meet and a Woolworths car-park. Some also suggested that, being in fairfield, the chances of getting the limiter-bashing, peg-legging civics and pulsars is slightly higher. Also, this whole 'open attitude any car enthusiast welcome' means it attracts many people who you wouldn't want to meet - I imagine because they're not welcome to most other clubs/cruises.

All in all, good to experience once, but I won't attend again. Looking forward to getting more involved in the skyline club

lol wat that ginger was going to steal some dudes wheel at a car meet ?

is this real life. aware me on story pls.

Dude arrived in a bashed up VS Commodore ute with a massive Roo bar with his bushpig girlfriend (sister? both?) in the tray. Then he sat on the window sill and started ghost riding it (inches from the expensive pride and joy pieces of metal of other car lovers). Was wearing a flanno, baggy jeans and rabens and ron weasley hairdo.

Then some dude, who i'm going to guess is from Cabramatta, parked next to him. Ranga apparently wanted to reserve the parking spot or something? So he pulled out a jack and tyre iron and got to work on the guys pretty sweet S2k, happily smiling for photos etc. Then a pretty large group started gathering around, because there was a confrontation. Guy in the honda drove off in a steam, and some of his mates were there and a few swings and kicks got in (nothing serious). Then i think the ranga drove off, and there's been like 600+ posts discussing this on the events facebook page.

Added a nice element of excitement, honestly.

      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!
