Car Wanted For Autosalon Display

[chalon]

Hi guys and gals,

Would anyone like to enter their car in the Autosalon this weekend? My R32 GTR made 345rwkw before the engine decided to 'take a breather'. It was going in the Autosalon but obviously it's not going to make it anymore.

The car was to be entered as part of a stand for a car club I have started with some friends, but now there is space available for another car.

If you would like your car entered for free, and if you're putting out a few horses, entered into the dyno comp for free as well, PM me with your car's details.

Cheers,

Alan

If there are no takers, i would be interested.

(If you dont get a bettter offer.)

My 33 makes nowhere near that power level though, but its very tidy and the paint is almost flawless.

Only thing that would let me down is a nice set of rims (anyone have some I could borrow for the weekend? - im happy to only put them on at the show and take them off to drive home)

Hey chalon is your GTR grey? If you had it at Boost Worx the other day I saw it in there, Shaun said something about 350ish kWs but engine packed up!

Otherwise thats another GTR that blew something... either way if its yours nice car man!

Oh and my GTRs not Autosalon material... maybe next year

That's my baby, yes. It is a nice car, but I must say yours looked way cleaner than mine. Yours must be the one that's getting the turbos replaced?

I'm not overly down with what happened to my car. When you're pushing a reasonable amount of power, things break. It just happened at a bad time, 'tis all.

Actually my car is supposed to have an R33 N1 engine, but I have no idea what exactly this means in relation to the internals of the engine. We'll know for sure once Shaun has a bit of a dig around.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their support on these forums. It's the sense of helping each other out that makes this forum such a great resource. I've had a couple of good offers already, but if you've got a 400kw beast hiding in your garage and want it to be admired by many people at this year's Autosalon, don't be shy and get in touch with me please

On another note, anybody have some nice rims in a RWD offset they'd be willing to loan for the weekend?

Cheers,

Alan

Anyone know if MattR will be around this w/e

His new beast make a smidge more that that but whos counting?

Nah that was probably the OTHER grey GTR in there hehe. Mine was just in for a major service, and dyno run. Need new fuel pressure regulator apparently, running lean under boost.

Anyway I'll stop whoring up your thread. Good luck in fixing your car man, definitely one of the tougher GTRs going round

Matt is stilll away, but I was thinking about grabbing his GTR and putting it in Salon .... don't think I can be stuffed though. I think it is making closer to 500rwkw? Feels like it in the passenger seat

Maybe PM Munro - his R33 streeter is making over 450rwkw these days and looks a treat!

I'll second that option.........It's prob not a bad idea to get his drag one in there either, prob not too often people would get to see that thing in the flesh!

[Nightcrawler]

unfortunately the drag 33 has turbo issues being rectified atm and hasn't yet had the new motor tuned - I have heard it running though

[chalon]

Thanks for all the support and generosity! You guys rock.

At this stage looks like we've got our bases covered. We're certainly not going to have the most powerful cars there, but we'll have something different.

Look out for a V35 350GT-8 if anybody's going. Stock, but at least it's relatively rare at this stage at least

Taken from Matt's post..... OMFG!

631.3 ft/lb torque

578 kw at all 4

775.2 hp at all 4

that was running 2bar

On another note.......

When will/should we be expecting to see John's car back at the strip?

[mxtcy]

RH9 will dominate all!!!!!

[Nightcrawler]

Matt's GTR has been detuned since then - it was doing some interesting things at that power level, so the boost has been reduced. I think it is running around 500rwkw now - still a lot!

Given that it looks like AIR may never reopen, I think John is planning to run the racecar at drag combat in Perth in November. If he does I will definitely go over for it!

I took his new BMW545i for a spin last night - OMFG what an unbelievable car!!! *drooooooooooooooool* 245kw V8 in 5 Series luxury!

Get back to teach biatch! But yeah Keir's car is pr0n!

Like going all over the road? Jelous that you got to go for a ride! That thing would be rediculously fast!

Whats the story there i thought they were "upgrading" it?

AIR can't give us a definite opening date (even though they originally said July 2006) .... and from what I hear not a single thing has been done yet to the timing system or track - I am not sure where the legal battle over ownership currently stands, but sure as hell BJ won't be spenging any money on the complex until it is all sorted out.

It is very poor form for racing in SA - where are we to be expected to test our cars out and get some racing out of our systems?

[Deluxe]

^^^^^^ they had a circuit race they a few weeks back but i went to Mallala instead that weekend, think there were some open wheelers and stuff, but dunno when it will be officially open tho, Stupid AIR!

[MADGT4]

Stupid AIR!

Agreed!

I mean isn't there some possiblility for some Government funding of some sorts?

Look at all the other facilities in other states compared to ours!

WSID is aweomse! Why can't we get something approved like that for here? Wasn't that mainly government funded?

Yeh not too sure, and i know if they really spent some $$$ the place could also be used as a circuit track also, therefore making us have 2 tracks to use and not just 1, But for the draggers out there they/you have nothing ATM which is really ghey!

[(OO Black 33 OO)]

RH9 will dominate all!!!!!

spotted that tonight at wayville, on back of truck with a yellow 32, awesome car, dont see any others that will beat it
