Spent NYE in Canberra, drove home late yesterday and saw a lot of nice cars on the freeway headed towards Canberra, including a rude white R34, (I suspect its the BD4s car).

I was pleasantly surprised by the amounts of imports headed down, plus plenty of nice old Chevies on trailers. Shame im working and couldnt stay for the weekend

Im thinking of going just for saturday. Just had a call from mates already down there (arrived at 7am this morning) and they said midday saturday to midnight is the best time to come coz thats when it all happens (i've never been so accepting any pointers at this stage).

How many people do we have leaving Saturday morning ? The people who are going on friday night are you staying over or what and until when ? Do they check ur wrist straps if u just buy say a saturday ticket, stay over in the camp then exit the park and re-enter on sunday ?

Is anyone going down saturday morning (early) and leaving saturday night (late) and from the Western Sydney Area ? as im not sure about parking and a lift would be the ultimate ! (I've been in a skyline passenger seat for all of 5km and i wanna know how they feel from that side of the car)

Any more info would be helpful.

Anyone that is going down -early- satuday morning and wants a driving partner etc pls pm me.

Yeah i am leaving on early saturday mourning... I am having second thoughts as to where i ca park my car down there without a high risk of it either getting smashed or stolen. If the car is left outside the park is there a good chance of somethong happening to it?

thats also my main concern as to whether i come back sat nite (late) or whether i stay over.

I talked to my mate on the phone tonight whom is already down there and he says free parking should be fine as most of the cars are hotted up or imports/v8s etc.

croat,

the car parks directly out the front of EPIC fill very quickly (and get very dusty as george said :uh-huh: ). If they're full they will usually direct you up the road a bit further to northern carparks...which are in massive grassed paddocks and are a lot more organised than the closer ones.

There are heaps of parking nazis directing cars into rows so don't worry about it getting smashed into, or people doing donuts or whatever, it's pretty organised. As for theft...cars HAVE been stolen before...but i don't think it's a huge risk. Especially during the day.

There are usually heaps of nice cars in the carparks, plenty of imports too! so don't worry about the bogans :D

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
