When A Man Is Tired Of Benalia, A Man Is Tired Of Life...


Recommended Posts

The spiritual home of SAU VIC - Benalia - lives strong with all who visit her train station...

This photo was taken on Saturday night:

I think that's 3 years now?

Glorious :miner:

Post up any other photos of our favourite incorrectly spelt town!

Not quite a town name just a funny worded sign found in Thailand whilst on holidays last year gotta love the Engrish

a simple translation to english words are 100% correct apart from the missing letters. When you say it in Thai thats how u say it...there is a lesson for ya.

did i miss something?

Yes you missed a Trip to Benalla to go racing at Winton three years ago where one Mr.Jamezilla changed the name of the town on that particular sign to Benalia. It has never been fixed and still remains as funny as ever.

How was the pondage in Benalia James?

Haha - the pondage was tranquil :)

Until of course, the Brisbzilla awoke and terrorised the locals...

And yes, the GPS we had was an American model. It had all the cities pre-entered, but instead of Benalla - had Benalia.

After a shitload of grog, that seemed hilarious - and the rest is history...

back in the days when the Lada was cool and the Supah telstar ran sidepipe......

For those of you playing at home, Benalia was established on the weekend of Dec 19, 2005. Not to be confused with when team Wang was first founded.

I might have had a hand in changing that sign too :down:

A good mate was going up for a sports event up there about 3 months ago...after I told him what we had done to the sign he sms'd me a pic of it....I think its still in my phone :)

Here we go - Benalia was founded on 16th April, 2005.

Strangely, the Benalla Hoon Law was introduced on the 17th April 2005. Bizzare...

Founding fathers included:

Me, Snowy, Dave (who loves a bit of pork), Brisby, Paris, Ant, Big Bird, Bec, Jesus, Big Al, Tommy G and some guy in a beanie.

Founding monument:

Happy times... happy times.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
