100% In for this one, my first SAU cruise. black 34 sedan

Really? i'll have to give it a go some time Right on! What are some exotic things you guys have eaten? My trip to Thailand was the first time I've tried crickets and grubs from a street vendor. Tasted ok. It was heavily coated in some stir fry flavours. Couple days later i got sick from eating normal food. go figure lol Also had fried Tarantula in Cambodia while touring and visiting family. It was pretty much like soft shell crab. yumm Offal is nothing new to me. Pretty much a staple part of my diet lol

Thanks for the support people. As promised earlier, here are some pics. The above pic shows the rims it came on and the car on stands halfway through the manual conversion. I soon took it to one of sau's texikhana events and did this A few days before the event, i decided to change the rocker cover gasket seals and half moons. I also gave it a service. I stupidly put too much silicone on the half moons and they leaked, so i did it again. Things got pretty busy afterwards at home so i wasnt able to test it. Thinking they were all good, i drove to the event i had prepaid for. I noticed after pulling into a servo that i had a decent oil leak. Luckily it wasnt enough to starve the motor of oil, but it was enough to smoke up the entire engine bay. I decided to drive it to the event and give it another go by re-doing it at the pits. Still no joy. Did a few skids then retired early. Luckily one of the helpful guys at the event had a spare bottle of oil to top up for the ride home. Also had alot of offers of help, so cheers SAU guys! When i got it home, i purchased a genuine nissan gasket set and genuine new half moons. The previous ones i used to change with were ebay spec copies. After a few days, the genuines arrived, so i set out to do the job again. I noticed with the genuine, the seal was embossed except for where the half moons sat, allowing a good seal for the half moons and for the entire way of the head. The seals even sat in the rocker cover without falling off when i held the cover face down. This would be the 4th time. As i was doing a check over, i noticed oil under the oil filter. I though that was strange, i serviced it not long ago! Then it occured to me that it was considerably larger than the one i pulled out. Doh! It was a z445! It was supposed to be a z442. Fixed this promptly and dropped the oil again to replace with full synthetic castrol sport 5w 30 and hasnt leaked since. I sold the 17x9 zenkai drift wheels as they werent my cup of tea. I wanted bigger, so i bought some 350z anniversary rims and fitted them with a 5mm spacer. I noticed the previous owner installed 60mm extended hub bolts all around under the project mu lug nuts, so i will probably move onto using a 10mm spacer to fill the wheels out more. Effectively the wheels sitting on it now are f 18x8 +25 and r 18x8.5 +28. I will be starting a members ride thread to discuss more technicalities with the skyline.

Here's mine on 350z anniversary rims 18x8 +30 fronts 18x8.5 +33 rears 5mm slip on spacers all around on extended lug nuts, so effectively f +25, r + 28

Hi, pretty new to sau, but always keen to try all types of food. Anyway, here's my current top list: Bodega in surry hills- great Argentinian tapas style food. Flavours work well. $70 for 10 course tapas, dessert and wine. Need to book in advance. Penrith bbq chicken- one of the best grilled chickens ive ever had. I had it served on a bed of jasmine rice and garlic sauce. It was moist and flavoursome, not dry like el jannahs. The best post workout meal! Penrith seafood wetherill park- salmon sashimi. It's just very fresh and cut into nicely balanced bite size portions. Hard to explain, but it feels like you have the right amount of fish in your mouth which you can then chase with their seaweed salad and rice.

looks like the BSB 302973 belongs to: Bank of Western Australia (BWA) or Bankwest, owned by CBA. Address: 345 George street, Sydney and an ad of the mobile number for sale (note: not sure if this could be the person, as many telco's like to recycle phone numbers) http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/wentworthville/mobile-phones/premium-gold-mobile-number-0448-333-444/1029210026 good luck

Hi, As topic states, I would like to purchase a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) to suit an R34 GTT (turbo). My car was auto, converted to manual, so I believe both would work. I don't mind rewiring the plug to suit. Otherwise, if any one knows if any other model TPS would work on mine, then please forward your offers here or via pm. Located in Sydney Thanks.

Great day guys! Shame it was the last one for the year.

Spotted: Silver 32 gtr last night through fairfield. I forget the plates but it sounded amazing as it coasted along

Question: my car still has HICAS. Will it cause a hindrance to pulling neat slides and/or a fast run on the texi course? Will you guys advise that i have it locked?

Hey guys, I just wanted to say hi as a new member of SAU. I came from the land of s chassis (owned about 4 over 6 years) haha and only just saw the light to move onto r chassis, a black r34 gtt sedan in black, which i recently bought with a glorified slush box aka tiptronic auto. What a transformation! The drive is so much more refined, cabjn noise is much less and the power delivery is so smooth and torquey. I am lovin it! I recently finished a manual conversion myself following a few guides here, as well as the uk based skylineowners forum, which are a wealth of knowledge, so thanks guys! I hope to return the favour by putting back some things i have learnt along the way about nissans. Will upload pics in a tick

Quick question, ive got a valid cams license, L2NS, will that cover me for the day?

Confirmation email sent and paid $75. This will be my first ever sau event, so im pumped for it!
