I'm so there. What kind of President wouldn't attend DECA even IF it was his birthday on 25 August!!

Great work Team BlaiseSnowCheaterEvo! Good to see all the hard work and training paid off

Brack's has given his backing to Brumby to lead. Brumby was the clean nosed bugger who led labour for all the years that JK was running the show. Kinda like Phil Mikelson. He was good but could never be #1 coz Tiger is there...

I'm in! We can't be upstaged by those pesky northerners. The only difference is that ours will be cool

PARTY IN THE STREETS!!!! Oh my God!!! I've been waiting for this day for over 7 years! I just don't know what to do to celebrate this momentous occasion. I think I'll go out and treat myself to a dozen KK donuts and buy some lottery tickets! Cya later Bracksy and don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on the way out. Oh no! Who's gonna take over now? Things could actually get worse with someone else at the helm. QUICK! Emergency stations!

Damn Chris, hope you feel better soon. And who'd think anyone would ever thank Ash for anything. <mumble>Good for nothing #$@##$!#$^ </mumble>

You have a SMS!

Happy Birthday Sarah! Hope you have/had a great one! See you when I get back from holidays!

Reminder that meeting is on tonight peeps! Come down for a chin wag with your fellow SAUers.

I HAVE to read the articles!! If I didn't I would know that Keeley Hazell was a 5'5" all natural 32DD!! You simply can't tell that kinda stuff just from the photos...

Apparently the alleged gunman was last seen on St Kilda Road. Took nearly an hour to get from Lonsdale and Russell to Crown this morning. Walking to the office was kinda scary with cops in flak jackets and helicopters flying around. The news on the radio was pretty vague at 0830 and 0900 saying that there was an area cordened off in the city due to an "accident". This was no bloody accident.

Was flicking through an issue of Ralph Magazine which Crown gave me the other day and there's an article in there talking about the best cars in the World and in one of the side columns, there's an article featuring James and P1 International. I think it's a pretty generic article which I read somewhere else too but I'm just wondering how many people who read Ralph can afford a years membership at P1. One would think that things like a hotted up Torana or a VR GTS would be more appealing rather than a 997 GT3 or a F430 ragtop. I know which one I would prefer though...

I honestly don't know. The engine was already built by the time I got to the factory and it was in the car. I'm not one for the really technical stuff. I just posted what I saw but my engine still seems to be going strong after 6 months

Personally, I after I start the car, I let it sit there for about 1 or 2 mins and then take it onto the street so that the fluids can circulate. Since I live in Richmond though, I've got traffic most of the day anyway so the car just sits and idles in peak hour traffic. I have always found that the temps come up a lot quicker if the car is moving. When I first hit the roads, I change gears at under 3000rpm and once the water temp gets to the middle of the gauge and I see the oil temp gauge get to to about 65 degrees, I think it's ready for some punishment. Usually, that's within about 10 mins of city driving depending on external conditions. I did do an engine oil change after about 100kms of "running in" but didn't change the oil filter until the 1st service.

From what I know and what I've seen on my engines and others: Complete building engine Install engine and ancillaries Dyno tune run in. Ie. Run for about 20 mins varying the rev ranges and acceleration and deceleration levels. We were revving my car out to about 5500rpm After the dyno run in, load in required engine tune Put the foot to the floor and start pulling max power runs! FYI, with one of my engines before AutoSalon, we were pulling 450rwkw runs within the first 3 power runs and eventually settled at 632rwkw after about 9 runs and pulled it back slightly. After AutoSalon, we wound the car back to 380awkw and the engine was fine. Good builds and good tunes, care when warming up and some sympathy lead to longevity of the engine. Once the engine is warm, it should be able to handle whatever you dish out at it within reason.

I think it all really depends on what the purpose you have for the car is. If you are after basic/intermediate levels of tuning for street and the occasional track day, it's tough to go past the PowerFC as it's pretty much plug n play and can do nearly everything most people want. If you want the best of the best and have the $$$ for it, you're definitely looking at either the Autronic or the Motec ECUs. Both have more parameters and controls than you could ever use but neither are plug n play and take plenty of time to install, tune and properly setup if you want all the goodies. Have a look at the following threads for more info: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...tronic+power+fc http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...r%20fc&st=0 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry1024327 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...mp;#entry931292 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...mp;#entry716558 That should keep you going for a little while otherwise try using the search option in the top right of the menus.

Just a reminder that price is negotiable on the rims.

Are people just blind or can't you read? * RULES - need to be available in Australia, so Veyrons are out. Need to be driven daily so LHD and race cars are out. I'm so torn I can't decide!!!

Happy belated birthday fellas! Hope you had good ones!

It's amazing where you can go after being the Pres of SAU-Vic Very suave indeed Mr Ward. The title GM is also pretty cool...

Hi Mike, I've PMed you.

Thanks mate. It's a shame to sell them but I love my new Weds SA90s These rims will look hot on any GTR!

*bump*

Hi Mate, I have both a set of stock R33 GTR rims and a set of 18x10 Volk Challenge for a R33 GTR for sale. If you're interested in either set, please let me know. The pics of the Volks can be seen in my signature. The stock rims are in good condition but have my Nitto drag radials on them. You can have them with or without the rubber. Price will be negotiable of course.
