well nissan didn't have any posters at all i was hanging out for a 350Z one, but no go.

the only poster that were given out are a mitsubishi one (with the rally car evo 7 i think) and toyota were giving a formula 1 poster of their car.

went last night for a few hours not bad initial impressions were okay nothing really special there apart from the enzo.. had plenty of time to kill so just walked around checked out all the cars went about 4pm so not too many people but started to fill up later. Talked to a few of the car chicks also to kill some time, audi girls looked great and were friendly, VW girls were also not bad as were the Mini chicks, Toyota ones okay, most of the holden girls were a bit skanky I thought, didn't see any of the mitsubishi chicks they must come out later, Merc girls were nice and friendly talked to this girl for a while just casually and she let me sit in the AMG SL55 while she did the roof demo thingy - awesome hehehe. Chick on the lambo stand was pretty cool as well chatted to ger for about half an hour.. heheh. Sat in the 350Z very nice but the chick sitting on the stool next to the car was totally up her self.. Anyway cars - nismo 350Z farkin awesome looks fat just needs turbos you can order the whole kit form the dealer. mazda rx8 looked good but you couldn't sit in it, enzo was pure horn as was lambo murcielago speedster thingo, BMW M3 convertible, AUDi RS6 looked pure horn for a pimpin mobile as did the A8 and Bentley's.. Some of the stands pretty glitzy also lots of interactive displays etc. Holden 427 Monaro very disappointed wheels looked tiny for 220 grand large or whatever I want somethiggn a lot better, liked the green SS ute / panelvan with the mattress in the back hehehe. Ford GT and GTp looked great also seemed to be very poplular. Blood orange colour looked great I thought.. Ford staff were very helpful and keen and eager to please also. HSV cars were all locked which I thought was a bit rich esp as Ford were all open for every man and his dog, staff didn't seem to friendly either. the Nissan guy wouldn't leave me alone after started talking about the 350z, same with the mazda guy and the RX8. Seems Holden don't want to sell you a car. Even the Audi guy was happy to chat about many oo the cars also even opened up the RS6 for a quick look. BMW people seemed a bit snooty though. SAAB sales guy and girls wouldn't let me go without giving me all these brochures and a test drive heheh.

last stop went on the 4wd test track pretty small but well done for the area. Two very steep hills and descents and some other rocky and stone bits and a tilting seesaw ramp as well. One bit where the car balances on two wheels left and right momentarily as well. Went in a new pajero which was very impressive quiet and smooth and did it with ease, not bad for a family truckster. They also had the new Prado there, Hyundai Terrible Can and new landcuriser 100 series and Patrol I think.

some pic here only 32 meg card in camera and was in high res mode.

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
