atleast its something to do, better than no auto salon, im not a fan of the bling ether but ya syill have to look at the car and respect how much time and thought, and money might of gone into it then judge it, not wether it;s your taste or not, plus there is always a fair bit of shnanny walkin around there, helps pass the time.

I just found that the cars where plain as, you see better cars on the roads.

Last year there was a GTT there that was auto and totally stock and looked like shit.

whats the point it being there? my car is better?

Well I think you should enter you car then, maybe it will make this years more interesting. :D Just jokes mate!

I think if we get a good turn out it would be an enjoyable event, I know I'd go to check out our display and squizy at others.

was that the black GTT? with C-west body kit I think....

there's only 1 other GTT in the show the white colour wiht bomex and NOS in the car.....no GTR r34 yet then...so any GTT will look impressive..kekeke

The dyno comps are always a highlight, I forgot to mention those. I remember one year there was a white GTT that was very low and had a sweet kit on it. Anyways when the tried to get it onto the rollers, it was too low and cracked the side skirts slightly! That same year there was also a genuine Tommy Kaira R34 that was very cool. Like I said there's always a few good surprises such as these!

I was running the dyno comp that year, and the Tommy Kaira R34 made less than stock power, the owner was disappointed.

Yeah it was a GTT that cracked the side skirts, I warned him beforehand but he still wanted on.

GT Nik managed to get his car on the dyno, except when they use the DynoPak hub dyno.

I've enjoyed some of the previous events as well but have noticed a trend for most of the cars to down the blinged up/big chrome rims route which isn't really to my tastes. *Sometimes* I've noticed better cars out in the carpark! Still there's always a few surprises to be had.

thats funny because last year we saw a bayside glue r34 GTR in the carpark that was pretty dirty but still looked hot as.

You know I think I saw this same/similar GTR as well! It did look very sweeeet, wish I'd taken a pic. B)

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
