Anyone going to the meet tonight at the docklands?

Was planning on it for a bit, but a more attractive offer may have popped up.

Will probably be at Fountain Gate meet later in the night later

Fountain gate: https://www.facebook.com/events/1243674532313961/

but leigh, you aint allowed at that one. thems the rules.

Also, just saw the traffic on the monash city-bound. f**k. that. road works has started. like 30kms of grid lock. will say no to docklands meet.

I ended up going to the docklands meet....not many skylines there!! Probably four in total. There were a million VW Golf's though.

jdm import car scene is slowly ending in my opinion. Seeing as majority are turbo and restricted from P-platers.

There is a move towards VW's/86's/euro cars which seem to be all the rage now amongst P-platers.

Sad but true.

Sad but true.

the JDM boom occurred during the 2000's and all those kids from that era are now in their 20-30's.

No appealing imports have come after that era, apart from some v36's, stagea's, vip luxobarges, to catch their attention.

The last appealing car would have to be the 34GTR, but as everyone climbs the career ladder, the higher the price will go up.

The event did mention "presented by Skylines Australia - Vic" so I would have expected a slightly larger turnout! :yucky:

It was a good night though. Heaps of cars and a good crowd. Police were doing breath tests and didn't really hassle anyone. I left and there were two highway patrols sitting outside just making sure no one was silly.

The only dickhead there was a P plater ford driving around the car park revving his engine like a tool.

Funnily enough there was an event at the same car park last week which was aimed towards a younger crowd I guess, I went along with a mate and as soon as we got into the car park there was an EL ford on fire hahaha.

Side note - last night there was one of those new Merc C63's (V8 Bi-turbo). f**k me they sound so good.

So you may as well have been in peak hour traffic anywhere in Melbourne

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
