Guys, some new information has just come to my attention. This contradicts a lot of the original post in this thread about this show 'n' shine, and i don't know what to make of it. apparently this is stated on the entry form for the show

• Submission or delivery of this form to the Ford Show N Shine signifies acceptance and willingness to comply with all show policies and procedures.

• Confirmation of your entry will be provided upon receipt of your fee of $10.00/$15.00 per vehicle entered. Your entry fee(s) must be received no later than close of business Friday November 4th 2005.

• Make cheques payable to FPV & XR Owners Club of ACT.

• Entries will have 1 ½ hours of set-up time, from 8.00am to 9.30am on November 20th, 2005.

• Vehicles will be on display from 9.30 am to 4 pm. (vehicles must remain until show finishes)

• Vehicles must be removed from the grounds site by 5.30 pm.

• Judging begins from 11 am. Awards will be announced at approx 2 pm.

• Every entrant’s vehicle will be judged.

• Each entrant will need to provide a drip tray for each vehicle. This is mandatory.

• We reserve the right to refuse any entrant at our discretion.

• There will be no refunds due to bad weather or circumstances beyond our control

So if this is the case, i don't think any of us will be able to enter our cars, and i don't particularly want to look around at a bunch of Fords

Ok guys, i found the error.

It appears there are 2 (read: two) show 'n' shines on Sunday.

Marques in the Parks is being run by the Morris Minor club ACT and is a FREE Event.

the FPV & XR owners club are also hosting their Show 'n' Shine which is a paid entry event. this is not the one we want to go to.

That's how i understand it. I don't know how many of your are famliar with John Knight Park, i went for a walk there last weekend. It's got a big grassy area, which is where the ford people are going to be, since they need drip trays. The Morris club (Marques in the Park) people might either be there as well, or in the carpark at the top of the park. there was parks for about 100 - 150 cars in the carpark at a guess.

We'll probably find out more on the morning, it doesn't start until 10am, and we're planning to get there at 8am when setup begins.

but yes, there are 2 show 'n' shines in the same park

i went and had a bo peep at this a couple of years ago (maybe last year?) and all the cars were in the grassy area, but there was a strong ford presence.

the set up could have been one big show n shine but the ford blokes have awards etc...??

might be similar this year??

I think you're right. the ford guys seam to have it setup as a fair dinkum show 'n' shine, where as the Morris club guys just wanted to get other car clubs out to show off. they're the guys that invited all the other car clubs like REACT and SAU to it.

F.Y.I.

And I'll see those of you that can make it on Sunday,'K?

Well that makes it easy for us then, no one will be there when we arrive to park. Should be a good day, i'm excited.

Remember, MACCAS BELCONNEN (opposite the college) 7:30AM depart 8:00AM for JOHN KNIGHT PARK so we can have the SAU crew together

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
