Hey Tex,

How you been?

We are hoping for about 50 cars.

confirmed the R31 Gibson car will be along, and spoke to Terry Ashwood today, he is quite interested in the club and the show and shine.

I've been good Dan, no complaints. :) Got me some Jap turbo lovin' now too, and I'm liking it. :) Expect I'll be seeing a bit more of you all again very soon (heh sorry all :)).

Thanks for the info, shall keep it in mind and will obviously confirm one way or another closer to the date.

Yeah the line project is going well so far. It's amazing how hindsight works and how you do things differently the 2nd time around (after wasting lotsa $$ making the wrong decisions the first time - you live and learn though)

I just lurve Cosmo's - the got all the curves ! yeah baby !

Good to hear from you mate !

Ok Guys, I just heard yesterday that we Now have our CAMS Approval... we will also have 2/3 Gibson cars that will include the Winfield GTR and I believe that Race works... a race team from our very own members will be entering also... now what we need as a HGE bunch of Cars, doesn't matter the condition and we will have a HUGE (sorry dundan... needed to add the U to highlight just how big this event can be) event up on the Central Coast in March... so get your entries in ASAP...

Also on offer is a $150 gift voucher from GCG Turbo's for the winner of Best Engine... and there will be other category prizes shortly!

Hi Sonic,

Mingara is the 9th biggest club in NSW - It has a huge outdoor area, grass, BBQs, etc - all available to SAU-NSW for the day.

It is a leisurely cruise from Syndey and no doubt there will be a few organised for the day.

There is heaps of accomodation around the area - some of us are going to make a weekend of it ! :alcoholic

Mingara have promoted the S&S in their newsletter which goes to 75,000 central coast residents.

What more do you need - It's a perfect location !

Hope to see you there !

Cheers,;)

Yeah... you know you want to be a Show and shine Buster!!! I'll even run you a few times at the lights if it'll help!!! (to the speed limit of course :D)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
