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

Im now thinking of going down Friday arvo/nite so i can camp with my mates down there. (It works out cheaper overall that way)

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
