TO ALL,

A little while ago i read either on s.a. post or somewhere else that sydney kid and co. were coming here to adelaide this weekend to race in the improved production series.What this means we can catch up with the professor of every thing SKYLINE and get to see some skylines circuit race as well.

Now can anybody remember reading this and can confirm at all?Secondly if it is the case is anybody going to go out to watch,i will go but cant go untill around lunch time as my youngest plays tennis on sat mornings

Regards,

SKYLINE (Kym)... B)

To Guy,and all those who turned up on sun i say a big thank you, it was indeed a great day and some tasty cars to perve on.I have some great cruise courses that we have used over the years with the svd boys so we might get round to doing some of those in the better weather(but would be nice to have some kw's to keep up)

To Geoff (and Ronda {SPELLING} it was great to meet you and must hook up again soon.

LASTLY lets make sure we can keep having functions like sunday at each others houses during the good weather so we can personalise a bit more ,cause the bonding only leads to stronger friendships and makes us a stronger forum community!

Kym, it was in the Mallala Practice days thread started by Roy : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ic=46214&st=120

And to quote SK :

The Improved Production National Championships are on 12/13th November, so I assume Friday 11th would be a private practise day for competitors. For the SA guys, the BSM team are bringing the GTR. Pop out and say g'day.

cheers

I'll be keeping an open day for this for sure :D

Would love to go out there and meet Gary (SK), ply him with bourbon and chat Stageas with him!

(burb's & stags = lots in common!!):)

But there's always bloody too much on, on the weekends!

Brendan

From Gary's original post it sounded like the GTR's will be here but

he wont. Could be wrong thats just the way it read. Both would be better. He's gunna get sick of answering questions if he is here.

I wonder if Mallala is underwater at this point? And/or if the road to Mallala will be passable by the weekend?

i dont think it is. my dad was out there yesterday and he didnt mention anything about floods.

Which day has the best line-up of racing? I am going to head out on one of the days - at this stage the weather looks better for Sunday! Anyone up for a pre-meet and cruise?

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
