Thanks guy, its good to get some support.

The display is going to look awsome i think. A good friend of mine is doing a lighting display for us, he does this for a living, so it should be great! We have promo girl organized, banners etc. PK has put in ALOT of work, time and his own money to get this off the ground, and ive been running around adelaide collecting peoples money to get it all in nice and early.

Can we see pictures of all the cars promo girl that are representing sau sa then

i think that is probably the more important question pk... do we at least get a vote on that?? :D

edit: errr... meybe not pictures of all the promo girl, damn strike out!!

Is there anycars with a decent looking engine bay and some nice kw figures???

it shouldnt be just on that.

im sorry but my engine bay looks shite at the moment and my car only puts out 120 kW BUT IM HAPPY WITH THAT.

i am always being asked "why didnt i get a turbo car" and "what a silly thing it was to get a n/a"

but you know what i DONT CARE its my car. i got what i wanted, im sick of everyone always judging a car by how many kW's it puts out and what the engine bay looks like etc...........

cant we just appreciate what the car looks like on the outside sometimes and not worry about how many kW's the car is putting out???

My car has been entered as part of the SAU entry. Is my engine bay to your standard, Dan? (Picture is a few months old and taken via camera phone)

RWKW? I'm not sure yet... hopefully 60-80rwkw more than it had last time I hit the drag strip.

Thought I'd add an interior picture too.

*EDIT* The engine bay was far from finished when this shot was taken... there's a lot more bling to come yet :nyaanyaa:

Completely off topic but, Dan, are you a weekend warrior or are you a regular? And where are you currently based (Keswick, Woodside, Hampstead or the other one - Oaklands Park area - I can't recall at the moment) ? I'm guessing you're a PTE. Been in very long? Me: SGT. Been 'in' for ~18yrs.

Thanks, Luke. As I wrote above, that picture is a little old now. There's still a bit more work to do - the engine bay should be looking a bit better and much cleaner by Autosalon time.

Yep mate, I remember you :nyaanyaa:

About 95% of it has been done here in SA. There's a mix of chrome, polished alloy, mirror polished stainless and some of it is silverchrome ceramic coating. You can't really see that much in the pic'.

I did some of it but most of it is professional work.

A1 Metal Finishers

Ceramic Coat Australia (part of Pacemaker Headers)

Stan's polishing (or something like that?)

From what I've seen of the cars entered, there is a good spread of power and cosmetic mod's. Something for everyone :nyaanyaa:

Well, we're fairly closely aligned then, Dan. I'm a RAAF Avionics Technician - pretty much the same as an ET in the Army. I'm at DSTO (near RAAF Edinburgh). The unit I'm with is Tri-Service (Army, Navy and RAAF) and surprisingly enough we regularly liase with the guys at 16AD Woodside (RBS70 sim' and info').

      R32 GTS/GTST non driven wheel speed

      By Looney_Head · Posted

      Hi People, has anyone come up with a way of getting non-driven wheel speed on a R32 Gts/gtst? from what i've seen the RWD R32 didn't look to come with ABS, if they did i can't find a rwd ABS front knuckle anywhere. is it a case of putting a S14/R33 front knuckle on and then modifying the ASB ring to suit a ECU input frequency limit? or have people managed to get a hall sensor onto the back of the hub and pick up the wheel studs?   i've searched but there isn't anything that I could find.

      I was thinking about a hoist, the ceiling is very high, but half the garage has a half-height loft for storage and I dont think I'll even be able to jack the X5 up under it as it almost hits me in my 6'5" elevated head when i walk in there. And, yeah nah, maybe if I can convince Bec to let me get another car she'd be open to having as many as we can fit (cough @Duncan) but until that time you better steer clear! 🤣

      ['96 r33 GTST] Need some help gauging how much I should pay for a CD009 transmission kit.

      By ggub · Posted

      For the sake of cost comparison, I’m currently embarking on putting a new 5 speed into my R33. I imported a new RB25DET gearbox from Japan, which was about AU$3.3k delivered to my door. It was a very slow process (~2 months) and I got extremely lucky with the exchange rate. The twin plate clutch I bought was about AU$1.8k. I've also had to buy all the additional parts required to convert the gearbox from a pull type clutch to a push type clutch. Total cost is about AU$5.5k, so GTSBoy is pretty close to the money.

      Yeah, The Japanese had/have a problem with doing crap like that to undeserving shitboxen.

      I run a CD009. See my DIY for info on what I spent. 6800$ isn't cheap, but it's not terrible either.   Keep in mind, you'll still need the following parts. - Shifter relocation kit - Trans Mount - Driveshaft - Slave Cylinder - Rear final drive (This doesn't have to be done right away.) - Some new way to detect speed.
