Street Class:

• Each vehicle must retain the original engine and gearbox configuration
• Suspension pick up points must be as per the manufactures design
• All vehicles must run on Tyres with a UTQG rating higher than 120

does this mean skylines can have RB30dets as it is the same configuration just a different bottom end ?

[R31Nismoid]

I would say so, long as its an RB in a Skyline etc.

However I will have that clarified, have asked the question

I have a feeling that the S'n'S will be full of homo-mobiles, such as this lancer with purple and yellow wheels LOL.

[R31Nismoid]

Other forums can enter whatever they like, no need to bag another groups entry

Plenty of tough cars on SAU that could enter the S'n'S for a performance & style flavour. Also looking to get a few older models along for a wide spread. Might even get the GTS-R out!

[paulR32gtr]

At least we could walk away retaining a sense of dignity ....

It is subjective though

[GTRRKT]

Ash, do you know which day each event is being held?

[R31Nismoid]

It's in the links above with regards to what is on which day. Some even have the time of day too.

[star32]

Paid for Powercruise long time ago so can not do both, I suppose.

So enjoy gents.

Pretty sure a few NSW members/users people are making the trip down for this - some probably chucking in entries so should be a fair contingent coming

[R6n350GT]

Dam, would have loved to compete in this!

Too bad in in QLD in its in VIC. Good luck to those that do!

[sheldon2369]

I would attempt to enter the show and shine with my V35 but it's a fairly long drive from QLD! Seems like an amazing event though. Good luck to the entrants!
