My friends went to this today. He took his red mazda capella like last time, and his brother took up his honda hrv, which i call Mr.Roll-Happy =)

They said there was about a third the cars as last year. A lot easier to have fun. Basically didnt have to wait in queues etc, just waved straight through.

I'm kicking myself now of course =) ... but really didnt have the money for fuel etc this week.

Said they saw like 1 skyline tho =(

Also said there was a professional photographer taking snaps. Was charging $25 a shot on A4 photo paper. Also had photo's from the last event, so i might look him up.

This photographer is an SAU members father. (Chrisman) We are attempting to get some thumbnails from these two days and will bring them along to the next SAU meeting. People can if they wish make an order there and have a good look at the photos. Hopefully he will be able to give us an SAU discount.

I believe there are quite a few photos of SAU cars from the last fun day.

My friend was telling me there was a bit of an incident at this fun day with an XF hitting the wall on the main straight after the "S" I was told the day ended a little early becuase of this.

Anyone got any more details?

    • Does the old one line up OK if you try to put it back in? In the 32 (different geometry) it is hard to reinsert the ball joint with the sway bar and spring attached. But ultimately.....this wouldn't be the first aftermarket part that is not right....
    • Yep and yep ! Every time I now take out the R33 I get a lot of thumbs up as well, and my car was also a daily until last year. Still get people coming up and asking about it. A while ago the most memorable being a V8 commodore driver who approached me in the bunnings carpark and asked me why the were so fast and what kind of V8 it had in it. Couldn't resist and told him they were only a straight six the same capacity as the 161 red motor. The look on his face was legendry. However the shine has gone off cause as well as the appreciation there is now a lot of harassment from other drivers in there VW/Nline/Ae86 with body kits or whatever the hell they are, while all I want to do is cruise.( well sort of drive with spirt ) I always try and get the hell away from them by driving slow, putting on my lawn bowling hat and leaning over the steering wheel to look as old fart as possible.
    • There really isn't enough to help remotely....the nav screen likely takes it's visual feed from another unit that is not plugged in properly now (that is how the cima worked at least). Sounds like at least the reverse cam works. It is a possibility the screen is dead of course, minor knock while it was apart. I had to replace the Cima screen because it would not display anything in the morning when below 0.  
    • Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.
