Just wondering if anyone had been today and if it was worth while?

I can't talk from experience of being there, but got a message from a mate that reckons some of the dyno runs were interesting. Some 200sx putting out over 400rwkw and an R34 about 288rwkw

I guess your friend didnt stick around to see the R34 (CRD's RH9) to go on to make 600+ atw :(. If all goes well for Sunday they're planning to run again this time with the giggle gas on.

edit: That 200SX (S15) would've been GT Autosounds drag car.

Went an had a look today, didn't mind it i guess. Enjoyed having a look at the various small club displays & the couple of drift cars. Tend to appreciate them more as their driven/thrashed, compared to trailer queens. :thumbsup:

Not really worth $18 tho i thought, bit steep but hey. :dry:

ronny (owner of lushes) is actually a really nice guy, dunno what you guys are talking about though.

MYSHOW S15 was the roughest show car on the scene the car was hardly a "show car" IMO it was more of a slap together.

It's not a R34 it's a R32 with the R34 front

WTF are you smoking?

I saw an R33 with an R34 front? Was all by it's lonesome self. Would have cost abit however. Was a few nice cars there, didn't see too much on the dyno as 1) wasn't enough 'seeing' positions (put some proper stands up would have been a good idea), 2) took a little long to setup and switch

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
