Not that it helps you now......but Youshop works very well for bringing stuff in.....

definitely Chinese....do a measure up on the shaft and all mounting points/circlip grooves then hit ebay. With a bit of luck the Chinese just knocked off a T&D or Jesel shaft and you can replace yours with a quality version. There's plenty of one-race NASCAR stuff on ebay.

I have a NZ new wagon that is up to 335k and still going strong....has had a hard life hauling parts all over the country....auto was replaced around 220k with the converter upgrade...the thing has caused very little pain (touch wood)...

Being lazy here.....is there an online source for replacement parts for Chevettes?

Had some mates go away on the weekend and found this in their travels.....they're hassling me to get involved with their project.....anyway, dumb question time: Parts availability, what's it like finding new suspension and consumables for these?

You're in Waiuku and haven't heard of Franklins in Pukekohe? Wander in and check the place out, you might get a surprise....

Unclejake - did a quick google, is this the place in Invercargill you're talking about?

cheers guys.....haven't tried the well knowns as I figured they would not be interested....have sent Jeremy an email though...

Need a laminated screen for HC Viva, does anybody know if there is a supplier here in New Zealand?

uship.com

Just a quick one to let you know if you intend to race this Saturday then tonight is your last chance to pre-enter.

The online discount and a chance to win your pre-entry money back closes at midnight.....so get over to http://www.lid.co.nz if you don't want to pay extra on the day.

Don't forget, gates open at 7am so if you do make your mind up that you want to race on the day, then get to Lakeside as early as possible - entries and scrutineering close at 9.30am - bring a helmet....

Hey guys, if you want to check out the final pairings for the day, once again head over to NZPC's motorsport forum....and yes, after all the situations I've been in over the past couple of weeks, these guys are confirmed.....

By the way, spectator tickets are available on trademe under "Import Allstars" so if you want to get hold of some before the event they're there for the buying.

And one last thing, if you intend to race on the day then you can save $20 by doing it online at http://www.lid.co.nz plus all pre-entries will go in the draw to win their entry money back on the day. 10 pre-entries will be drawn from a hat at lunchtime on Feb 17 and the names will be called over Lakeside's Pit PA whereupon you will have 5 mins to get to the entry booth or we will call another name...

any questions just ask....

Okay everybody, please take this with a preceding apology before going on to read this posting. Realise that Parkside Media have put five full months of planning and promotion into this event. We have thrown everything we had at making sure NZPC Import Allstars was the one you remembered for the summer of 2007. We also intend to carry on promoting professional, entertaining and tight drag racing shows in New Zealand.

Little did we know that when we began promoting NZPC Import Allstars a curve ball was going to hit us just two weeks before the big day.

Over the weekend a couple of forums started mentioning the HKS car was never coming to New Zealand. I personally answered the questions saying it was in a container on the way here...it still is, but read the HKS letter we received.

Its now patently obvious that while the car is coming here, it is not going to race. Yes, you can come to Taupo on February 17 and be completely entertained but realise due to circumstances outside our control the HKS car is only on display.

Although this will not be as you anticipated, for those who really want to see the HKS car in the flesh, this will be the last time ever (apart from flying to Japan). On a more positive note I am thankful HKS advised us of their change of plans in advance as I would hate to see people turning up on the day without knowing the situation. All I can say, is stick with us and come to Taupo for February 17, we still intend to put on the best day's racing and a ton of entertainment.

In place of the HKS car we will now have Glenn Suckling in his Mag and Turbo Warehouse/GDS Motorsport Skyline matched up with Reece McGregor. We all know this isn't exactly the same, however, Glenn has been chasing a seven all last season and and has run as close as 8.0 last weekend. Well, this is going to be one of those Skyline showdowns which is still well worth the price of admission. This is going to be a down and dirty drag race as opposed to racing the clock. We have them lined up to hit track five times during the day, with the last three being for the title of Skyline Champion of the World...

In the next couple of days I will confirm all the rest of the contenders for the day...please stick with us, once again this curve ball was completely out of our hands and although the HKS car will be at Taupo on Feb 17, it is for display purposes only.

thanks for that....

Is there a way of moving this whole string across there? Here I was trying to fit the info into the correct hole and instead got nailed for spamming......

ya learn something new everyday.....apologies to the powers with regard to spamming....I was just trying to focus the word to those who would like to know what is happening on the day.....

Not often I'm deemed a "sir"....don't have any relatives in Taupo that I'm aware of....

Sorry about taking so long....for some reason my log-in wouldn't work so I had to re-register(?)....

Anyway, First passes down track for the big boys (ie HKS and Heat Treatments) is scheduled for 10am which will be practice. The real battles begin at 12.45....

If you're racing yourself, then you need to be there around 7am to get in the gates if you haven't pre-entered.
