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)

    • Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable 
    • I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue 
    • Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?
    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
