Dont talk too soon about no drags. I did do a 200 M drag session with UAS one time down at wakfield. It could be organised! Track, Drag, Drift, I dont care as long as it is done safe and not on the roads.

Just rereading my posts sorry I did come across a bit negative, I think the idea sounds great but I think to make all things fair as in the go part that in no way should it just be about track which is all I read in the first post about the new idea

:werd: to OZ and Buster!!!!  

yeah.. don't think show and go should just be about show cars and track cars... there is also drift and drag and they should be allowed to represent!

Its a show day, I would expect all cars of all types to be there.

Paul, I think it's a great idea :D

Brett, I think you got the wrong impression from Paul's original post. He wasn't expelling all drag cars... I know when I say "track", I mostly incorporate all circuit AND drag events into the one word :D

An example being, when little riceronis try to drag me at the traffic lights, I tell them to "Take it to the track junior!" ;)

The original idea of Paul's stemmed from the fact that seeing so many awesome cars in one spot just made him want to hop in and go for a burn!!! I'm sure more than one person wanted to hop in their car and thrash it around somewhere after talking shop all day with other skyline-nutters :)

I have to say though, that I'd hate for the day to be tainted by someone being over-enthusiastic and ripping out onto Oran Park circuit and promptly proceed to remodel their car. Perhaps WSID would be sliiiiiightly safer? They also have a huge carpark, and newbies seem to handle straight line driving slightly better than full circuit driving?

The only prohibitive factor I can see is the cost in hiring either venue for the day. We don't make much money on these Show 'n Shine days, and ALL of it goes to subsidising other events and club merchandise... So we can't afford to lose money on any events!

Just thinking out loud, feel free to flame me :)

right!! :D  thats what we want!! all sorts of cars there to represent!!  so why are you only talking about show cars and track cars?!  or when you said go did you mean track and drag?!  then what about drift? :D
The drift boys use the kart track...the regulars can be run on the south circuit...8th mile drags on the straight. Run it on saturday... arrange a DJ and some refrehments for an after party and camping so you dont have to run off late in the arvo.

This is starting to get a little out of hand.... Organisational tasks for putting something like this one will be a complete and utter NIGHTMARE :D

I hope all of you people making the organiser's jobs harder will be on the organising committee, because none of this happens magically :) I know that OzGTR02V is going to volunteer a great deal of his time to help organise next year's SNS!

Perhaps before everyone's imaginations runs a little *too* wild, think about how much harder it will be to organise this proposed EXTRAVAGANZA :D Maybe we should keep these days seperated and run them at different times throughout the year.

Marshalling Oran Park South Circuit for the roundy-roundy boys, the main straight for the drag-queen boys and the go-kart track for the traction-challenged ALL AT ONCE would be nearly IMPOSSIBLE.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
