On behalf of the SAU Exec, thanks to all who attended the Xmas dinner tonight!

Special thanks to SAU:SA special guests Martin & Susan Donnon for coming along on behalf of the Willall Racing garage, and great to see John Munro rejoin the scene as well (hopefully either Martin or John will bring out their R35GTR for those who haven't seen one up close and personal yet)!

Thanks too to the organisers Steve and Luke (with help from others I am sure) who always make for a well organised and well run event.

Great to see such a big turnout of SAU:SA and SAU forum members .... hopefully some people who have not yet joined are considering doing so, and becoming inaugural members of the SAU:SA Club!

Yeah it was a great night.

Apart from catching up with my brother in law's nephew (niksta) who I had no idea was an SAU member, it was good to catch up with the usual crowd.

Also good to catch up with Martin after such a long time.....shame we didn't get a chance to chat longer.

Great to meet new member Dave (fungoolie) tonight and to finally meet John (Munro)......hope to catch up again soon John, maybe on one of those 8 Ball night sessions at Andrew's.

LOL, 3 blokes in one room that have R35's.....they're getting popular now!!

Thanks for organising the night Luke (Helso) & Steve (Madaz) and thanks Martin (HOSTILE) for providing the viewing pleasure of the GTRs racing around Bathurst.

Congrats to Ben (Dohmar) for SAU Club Person of the Year (I have your plaque mate) and congrats Troy (Sapphiregraphics) for Best presented SAU-SA Car (I can't remember the exact title of the award).

Thanks to everyone who came along especially Martin Donnon, John Munro & David (fungoolie) for representing the R35 GTRs.

It wasn't until everyone left that I realised how few I actually caught up with on the night - apologies to those I missed - I was engrossed in conversations with Martin, Ryan, Bec, Christine & Andrew for most of the night.

Madaz - FWIW I thought the food was pretty good but I was the 2nd last to receive their meal (I was one of the last to order though) which also contributed to my non-socialising.

I look forward to bigger and better events in 2010 as SAU-SA develops even more from the outstanding foundation the execs have set.

      My BMW 335i

      By PranK · Posted

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
