Yeah come on Gazelle, you're more than welcome to your own opinion of these cars, but there was and still is a massive public consensus that the AU was the ugliest piece of **** to ever grace Broadmeadows. Ford did something very right with the BA Falcon. VN Commodore was also the most aerodynamic, fastest and best selling Commodore. Not to mention how many VN styling/design cues were retained in later models due to their success and reception from the public. How was it not an improvement on the VL? The only thing the VL had going for it was a relatively bulletproof engine, which in itself was nothing special until the past decade when aftermarket tuners decided the extra displacement and backwards compatability with other Nissan engines/parts gave it a good foundations for the drag strip.

Nice one

:)

Here are some photos I took. Forgot to take my tripod, so had a tough time trying to get some good pics. Basti probably has better pics.

Overall was a very good turn out. Nice to be back in the SAU scene again - and nice to see some new faces :)

i didn't say it was ugly, infact i agree the ba is better looking then a au. but you missed my point.

Not all newer model's are better in EVERY WAY shape and form. my opinions are based on personal experience's, likes and dislikes, and i'm still not going to start a argument on the net so stop trying to push my buttons.

    • I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.
    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
