I believe I spoke to the owner with a few others, he didn't sound like he got to drive it often enough but I didn't think he was planning to sell it :D

You should see his dyno sheet / engine bay, incredibly nice.

Weather helded back long enough , but it was a little sad

Thanks to the organisers, the event was a great success!

It was great putting faces to familiar names on the forum. There is no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon amongst cars and having a good old yarn with fellow enthusiasts.

Some noteworthy observations:

The offset of those VS Work rims on the S14 is absolutely mental and insane - you gotta to love that totally 'slammed' look

The Cortina got the most attention from the general public - especially the 'older' demographics. GO CORTINA!

The multicoloured Titan lip Gram lights 57S-PRO on the R32 GTR was most eye catching

The dramatic arrival of the R32 on Jacks' flatbed truck - I wondered what happened?

The only real contest was the voting for the best R33 GTR

The general respect and admiration that everyone showed towards each other's pride and joy.

GREAT Pics everyone.

There were heaps of camera's floating around and once again, not one bad pic among them!

We will 110% be going back to that venue next year. I will organise more space as well now i have a rough idea of requirements vs car numbers/space.

Should be even bigger next year ;)

hopefully the council can be a bit more lenient on entry/exit times

It's not the council, its just common sense more than anything else. Its a public liability/protection issue.

We can't have cars coming/going in/out all day long.

1. It would be impossible to position cars

2. It would mean someone 'manning' the gate for the whole 6 hrs (boring/unfair to expect)

3. Given there must have been easily 500-700+ people of the public passing through there over the 6hrs... too much chance of something occuring

etc etc. :wacko:

Look at the end of the day if people can't motivate themselves enough to get up by 8:30am on a weekend, and plan their life for 6 hours for a major club event with trophies/awards, that is their problem.

Just means more exposure chance of taking home a trophy for those people who can motivate themselves, and good on them :D

The general respect and admiration that everyone showed towards each other's pride and joy.

Couldn't agree more mate, well said.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
