I like shows but I hate the costs associated with getting the car entered and ready

Besides, mines hardly in any condition for display at the moment

runner up club and also miss new age well done again

we do hope you enjoyed the day and will attend next year.

also remembering that the first 200 cars also recieve entrant plaques so best to be in early

thanks again

i understand by reading this thred that you guys are not keen on commodores im just a bit dissapointed

that you guys slag them off its your choice i know

but they did put in as much effort as you guys to pull all those cars together on the day

looks like some wires have been crossed there were a few commodore clubs there it was the bigger one that won top club as for the top new age bike he isnt part of our OFF YA ROCKER team at all

anyway that said you guys did put on a great display and the pic's of the after photo shoot look great

well done thanks for your support

we hope to see you all and maybe more next year 2 defend that trophy of yours and maybe even go 1 better

cheers dave

I think we all love our cars, even if we do slag on Holdens/Fords sometimes, most of us hold high respect and appreciate the amount of blood, sweat and tears that goes into some of the cars, its a passion of all things cars/bikes, and a common ground for all involved, we do find some things funny but to each his own style of mods?. its not about pleasing everone, but enjoying the time showing it off. it doesn't mean the car isn't a show piece and prized possession of that person.

without these events we don't have the opportunity to show off out skills in modifying cars and talk with other car lovers in a laid back location without hassle from police. I know at least 16 Skyline owners would say , they loved the show and would most likely attend next years event without question. ? I'd like to say a personal thank you for a great show with lots of cars to enjoy , and it was a nice to meet you on the way out with a kind hand shake to all attending.

ps.hell if I had enough cash a old vette, camaro, or AC cobra would be a toy for the show, someday maybe?. they cost so much in oz, being from USA I would rank your shows one of the better ones in my many years and look forward to next year.

thanks again for a great day out,,,,lots of sun..lol

Regards

Troy and SAU attendees

Well done to all you guys and awsome you got the runner up award for best display and Miss New Age. I will post up the link to my photos later on after making them a lil smaller from my camera. Next year I will enter my car instead of having it on the outside of the grass in view of the display =)

Dave I had debates with one of your photographers I think it was last year about the V8s against Me liking rotors.. and it only continued this year because I owned a skyline instead of a holden lol. Think it just comes down to personal choice of car and going to too many car shows and seeing a holden or ford with rims and a personalised plate and it taking out awards. (not saying your event)

i thought the quality of cars was pretty good, what i thought was best though was the sheer varity of rides with muscle cars, hot rods, bikes and imports

there were a few cars that just seemed pretty average. But if they want to help keep the price down for us and they get a kick out of entering then im happy to have them there. it aint hard to left foot right foot past the cars your not interested in.

call me strange but 1 of the 1s i thought was pretty funky there was the v8 dato. looked a lil ruff on the outside but man what a sleeper :ph34r:

thanks Troy, you covered all bases there bud.

That custom looks like a BBC Venom.....same swingarm as my bike.......nice.

EDIT: LOL, just had a closer look and noticed he's got the same billett wheels as my bike....they're called PAB (Punk Ass Bitch) and only available in LA.

The back wheel started it's life in a CNC as a 500 pound block of alloy and finished up at approx 20 pounds.......probably in the CNC for 2 days lol.

    • Wow its been a while since Ive signed in for sure.  Time gets away... Good question. So much was different between the two designs.  The RB315 was a test to see if I could do it.  Limitations were for the most part due to local machining capability.  Tolerances were an issue.  The 3.15 used a single OD dry sleeve, and was almost the same as a kakimoto spacer plate engine, except I used a plate design similar to the OS Giken plate.  I did not make the top flanges thick enough either.  I can't be sure if it was machining tolerances, or thermal distortion of the sleeves, but the engine did produce quite a bit of blow by.  The modified 87mm RB30 crank was also an issue, and was no where near as nicely balanced as the forged 90mm crank in the 3.4. The 34 was a next level build.  The sleeves were stepped for max thickness, and were a semi-wet design breaking though into coolant completely in the block.  Minimum thickness was 3.75mm and max was 5mm with the 90mm bore, and the new spacer plate also fully supported the tops of the sleeves closed deck style.  This combined with far superior CNC machining, and a cylinder hone finish that the machinist does on 3000hp pro stock cars resulted in no noticeable blow by at all.   In the end the 3.15 was removed to swap in the 3.4.  I discovered the modified RB30 crank had partially sheared the woodruff key on the balancer.  That was all that was wrong with it, but it did make the engine a paperweight at that stage. $1100 to make another crank for an engine with blow by issues was not worth it, considering I'd started playing with all Nitto forged internals instead. I hope you found this interesting.   Cheers, Ian
    • All their parts, when order directly off them are made to order. So you're able to customise fitment of things or delete things. E.g. I asked for no throttle cable bracket, no IACV port, etc. on my plenum. In hindsight, I should have asked for an IAT port/fitting welded on, hindsight no. Should have bought a M2 or 3 lol.
    • 25de in c33 a31 is different to r32/r33 s1 which is different to r33 s2 & r34 so you can vaguely do whatever man.
    • That's the pink sticker type, you haven't said what car so no idea if it's correct, 25de or det is the same in the same model.
