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.

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
