I'll repost my earlier comments since Heslo locked the other thread...

Firstly massive kudos and thanks to Cara, Ruby, John Keen, Shane and anyone else involved in putting the day on. Was a great turnout, a good variety of cars, no car died (I hope the R31 wagon was ok), some good dyno numbers and most importantly was a well run event. :(

Congrats to Andrew (Blue32) for taking out the Dyno Queen trophy with 390.x rwkW! :P:P

I would have liked to have seen how close to that I could've come but alas the new Blitz EBC didn't want to release more than 11psi. :/

I'll repost my earlier comment also since the other thread is locked.

Thanks to all who came and attended. A top effort to all. Good to see many cars with different power outputs having a go.

Some God-awful fueling issues won me the wooden spoon ... but it was good to get in there and have a go even tho I knew it was down on power. At least I got best presented stagea. :P

Congrats to Andrew (Blue32) for his 390rwkw win! Awesome to see those numbers. :(

Thanks to the whole crew who organised this event, it was an awesome day. Also a big shout-out to Martin who gave me some advice and tips throughout the day. Congrats to all the winners, you guys deserved it (except the ones that were rigged :().

I'll put some photos and videos up as soon as I can.

big thanks to the people who organised the event. was great. first time i have been to a sau thing, other than a stag cruise. great day, great people so i became a member.

blue 31 wagon was blowing smoke because of a cracked piston. it had to be replaced anyway so i wanted a power figure before putting in forgies. it is a stock na engine on 15psi for the 292kw. bleed it up to 18psi and it went bang. meh. thanks again, i really enjoyed it.

was good to chat and meet a few of the crew while i was there - i too had to make a quick appearance and dash early.

Good little event this was, will definitely pop in to future meets. Very friendly atmosphere, and some very tough cars

as for my 175rwkw, i did actually expect a little more; but oh well, its opened my eyes to the possibilities behind making more power! Dyno graph is up on the fridge.

Now, time for a beer!

Awesome day! Thanks to all the people who made it happen :( It was also good to see so many SAU members attending. Very happy with my result :/ and well done to all those that entered their cars :P

I also will post here as the other thread has been "locked". Thank to all the people and members that turned up today to make this a great start to SAU-SA and its fantastic to see real Skyline enthusiast there and the knockers well who cares.

I managed to rock up as all of the action was ending, still got to see some nice cars and setups though :(

Grats to all the winners and hope to see some clips about the place.

The lovely Janene is actually putting a DVD together for us of the Dyno Day. The pricing will be $10 for members and $15 for non-members, and it should be an awesome DVD.

... I just hope Nene edits out my dyno runs :P

bit disappointed the "Best presented - other" award went to a commodore :( since there wasnt a best presented r31 category :P

thanks muchly for putting the day together to those that were involved, and also letting me and the blue wagon enter late.. also signed up for membership.

Im not much of a fan of 31's but yours made me want to touch myself in naughty places. Love those rims :(

I had a great day out even though my car didnt see the rollers. Congratulations to the people who both won awards and exceeded thier power expectations. Dont think Ive ever seen so many schmick R32R's in one place! Including DSTROY of course. Last, but certainly not least, A big thanks to Cara and the rest of the SAU-SA squad for organising such a great event.

Thanks Guys! :(

PS. For those wondering, Kellie (Bunny33) wasnt able to make it today due to work commitments :P

Cheers dude. Been a fan of yours for a while too, I used to live close by.

It was an awesome day. I enjoyed it. I went away with the 'Best Presented R33' trophy aswell! :P

Also, who ever making the video wants some videos in high resolution 720P I've filmed quite a few cars at a good angle that doesnt show numberplates and including blue32's flamage :(

Screen shot:

What a terrific day's event.

Cars were all on schedule, everyone involved did their bit, went alot smoother than I anticipated and was good to meet many new (and old) friendly faces.

Apart from the SAU-SA execs who did a terrific job, a big thankyou must go to the 2 Johns that hosted the event, Martin (Hostile) for his tireless effort on the BBQ and the girls that helped out; Sammy (Damo's girl), Penny (ontheranch), and Vu's girl (sorry, forgot her name).

Also good to see some SAU representation there by the Mods and new members; Matt (whatshisname) & Andrew (Nightcrawler) with his little fella who prefers Nene over me, LOL.

Congrats to all the winners and the Dyno King, Andrew Blue32.......nice flame show!

Now I need to go and pass some snags :P to make room for the Missus's lamb roast............or I'll be dead meat! :(

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
