LOL at Ash.....He made my baby cry!

Well done to the SAU guys It is nice to see a stand where it is about cars with power and not cars with fake coolers and 10 tonnes of fibreglass stuck on em.

Still.....that datto with the rotor......SCHWING!

yeah tops weekend...I will load my camera also...although I think scottie and his other half took most of mine...

I'm looking forward to some pics from a certain CF bonnet...hehe should be about 1000 of them with some chicks..

Ive never seen Shelby cry like dat lol poor baby..............

aww Ash dont take it personally she was probably sympathising with you!! she felt your pain!!

Those rat tail haircuts were EVERYWHERE! I was at the dyno for a bit and it seemed every person had one of those stupid haircuts. I thought it was hilarious when some of the drivers couldn't reverse :( lol@ 300ZX that was held together with duct tape. But :thumbsdown: to the driver for being a retard and revving at the display and getting exhaust fumes all over me. Not happy! He had one of those haircuts, that's what this is related to.

I took like 10 photos, including photos on the drive in and on the way back. I was there to play the Nintendo Wii and have a go at Zelda :) Can tell why it's called auto salon, with all the pretty cars that are pretty much useless.

Hahaha :(

yeah, sorry John/Kel... i think the whole face thing totally freaked the poor lil one...

That was soo odd... if i didnt look, there wasnt an issue, soon as the eye contacted, hysteria!

Huge thanx to everyone for a tops weekend had a great time and was good to see SAU putting on a fine show of our cars..

Thanx again to all those who put in time and effort to prepare various parts of the show.

All in all, absolutely GREAT show once again.

Pity about some off the props (well, most of em) not arriving from the states in time. But we'll have em for next time to use :(

Might have to investigate a few ideas, we gotta win some more trophies next time :sorcerer:

I would like to thanks all the members who supported the initiative, by entering thier cars.

Also those who didnt enter that came along over the course of the weekend to say a hello and see if they could lend a hand.

I would also like to take the time to thank the SAU-Vic Promo Girls. Lauren, Lauren & Jacinta.

Between the 3 of the lovely ladies we have received such great feedback about how good they represented the club.

Not only are they attractive and sociable, they promoted the stand brilliantly whilst actually wearing decent clothing unlike much of the other ... umm... "skank" that was around.

Long weekend for me from Friday morning till now, im totally drained but it was well worth it.

Its events like this, even though countless hours have been spent, its all worthwhile and to see everyone happy is just brilliant and makes all the effort worth it.

Time for bed, see everyone Thursday (for the GP entry, new thread coming soon about that)

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
