I been last 3 years in a row, but always only gone with alot of mates and got the general admin tickets which means you have to get there real early to get a good spot!!

Was gonna get a 4 day pass at 1 of the grandstands but $$ needs to go to other more important things at the moment.

What stand have you got Roy?

Troy: Sounds like Shumacher stand.

I met a Grid Girl a few years ago - she was very nice, and tall, and leggy...

I'll be there each day in the morning - and maybe arvo (depending on work commitments). Will be there all day on Sunday. Snowy will be there too (all 4-days).

There are a number of SAU cars on display as part of the AutoSalon sponsorship. Not sure where its located - but could work as a good meeting point for anyone going. Bump in for the AutoSalon stand is Wed lunchtime - so I can post info Wed evening.

    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
    • Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can. 
    • I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
