mick certinly does a good job...you'd expe3ct that from a ex detailer...shame to hear you cant make it i was looking forward to having a squiz at the car...

we are leaving sat morning early...going to jsut jap on the way and then should be there for the show :D

can i ask people...whats the go with sydney night life n stuff??? we are staying in homebush...where is good to go party??

Gus, I *think* Auto Salon used to do parties at the venue for participants on the Saturday nights, not sure if they're doing it for this one.

To be honest, the day itself is pretty exhausting, and being there the whole weekend can be even more so. If you're still keen to party, there's not much in Homebush, but the city is only about 20mins away. The train station is right near the halls where Auto Salon is held, so if you're staying really close to that you're in luck.

haha...not an entrant....honestly i wouldn't mind just having dinner and chillin at the bar below the hotel but mates wana go party so yeh was jw. being from canberra we dont really get to sydney much and our night life is pretty shit.

how much is a train ride and how long they run for?

and....how many cars have SAU got for a display???

We have 6 entrants

Trains actually stop going to homebush around 11 I think, so you'll need to get a taxi back (I would check this, I could be wrong)

The night life in the city on Saturday is everywhere, would be hard not to find something :P

Also, the bar in the hotel is where we partied it up afterwards... So yeah, a quiet chillin dinner probably won't happen :)

    • 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!
