I'm looking for someone to sponsor my work van actually (serious).

/waves at SAU :rofl:

Kyle & Jackie'O (2DayFM) were happy to sponsor (pay for every drop of fuel she uses) a 1982 Mazda 323 provided that her car was painted in the "Black Thunders" paint scheme. To me that sponsorship deal would be worth about $8k/yr.

Show and shine's hit an entertainment peak very quickly. Personally i would love to see a "Skyline" show. I am sick of going to show and shines and not being able to see if the car actually runs and can idle(trust me ive seen it).

I welcome any idea/show where it combines a SnS and driving events.

c mon SAU....lets not put the skylineNats idea in the too hard basket....it can be organised Stacey, Myself and the lads from DIRTgarage have already agreed to assist....two of our crew are also DJ's and have said they would be keen to participate.

Oh no.... we're not turning this into a battle of the DJs also are we?:chairshot :matrix::uh-huh: :Pimp2:

That's it! Battle vinyl, at the ready!!! :jk: :Dj: Haha, I'm not gonna claim to be a gun DJ anyway. I get by, though... Got plenty of house and some breaks tunes, and can probably secure at least one more friend to help DJ if necessary.

On to the main topic though, I was thinking maybe having separate days, maybe one with Unique at Oran for a drift/circuit day, and then another event (maybe 6 months later?) at WSID for the drags and SnS (and maybe skid-pan?).

But then I thought:

a) a combined UAS/SAU drift/circuit day would probably be the same as a UAS day on its own, and attract barely any more individuals and cars as any other circuit day held by UAS, especially if there was no SnS element;

B) the same would probably apply to a drags/SnS day, with maybe just a small percentage greater attendance for the "Show" part of the day; and

c) I have no idea on how much more having separate events may cost.

IIRC, someone did mention that using Mingara was pretty easy on the Club's resources (as in monetarily, and relatively speaking, of course), in comparison to hosting the event somewhere down here.

Personally, I don't mind that the show is at Mingara (gives me the chance to get away from Sydney and see some friends and relatives who live on the Central Coast), but maybe a larger concreted area should be considered and requested next time around, if possible. I think the bogging issue, although minor this year, might be a concern if the weather is not as nice to us next time around, and I think a lot will agree that car photos look better when taken on a tarmac surface.

I'll volunteer for next year too, unfortunately I got there fairly late this year and had to leave early, so even though I did put my hand up initially, I couldn't really offer much help on the day (sorry guys...).

Cheers, and thanks all for an undoubtedly great day,

Nick T.

For anyone else who is kind enough to give up roughly 3 months of their time after work leading upto this event next year, please PM me and we'll contact you when organising starts next year!!!

Merli;any way of helping from Canberra without clocking 600 kilometers every time something needs to get done in Sydney? 'Cause if there is,I'm one of your helping hands;whatever we do(and I seriously rate the all-in-one show'n'go idea), I'm happy to help from afar! This offer will still be good come time to organise,you can quote me on that! PM about to be sent!

You guys are nuts :rofl:

A Show and Shine is a Show and Shine

A Track day is a track day

A Drag Day is a drag day

A Drift day is a drift day

Spread the fun :)

We are not saying STOP having track day, drift days and drag days....they will still occur throughout the year....think of it as an extra day that you can "show and go" at ....SkylineNats are go!

EDIT:looks like the Victorians have beaten us to the punch..

I am in for it and a great idea as the Easter the Zed Nationals at Wakefild and it was a huge success with show and Shine and Track Events on different days or could do same day. At the the SAU Show and Shine I was kinda frustrated walking around all that horse power without getting out to press the loud peddle.

I am sure catering for both would be a hit as it was at Easter. We can get Wakefiled or Oran no probs or with more planning and longer and harder to book we could get E Creek which I have already put my name down a few months back for a Sunday next year have to wait until around January to get a date as the big boys get preference.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
