An online shop is coming this year, you'll be able to get a host of different stuff later...

But that said, if we have any left over it shouldn't be a problem to shoot ya one :thumbsup:

It'll probably just be a URL or something. Yet to really think about that.

Oh and good to see the email submissions coming through!

Looking like there might be 2-3 of each model down to some old classics for the S'n'S. Be quite a good flavour for the stand indeed to have em lined up etc. Will look awesome.

HUGE NEWS!!!

superjet760 looks like making the trip to Melbourne, to fly the SAU flag in the 400m

8.9 sec pass on DOT radials - Perhaps even faster.

Will have 100% confirmation in approx 2 weeks, and pending no more setup issues (or unfortunate failures) - this is a GO!

This is some excellent awesome news. Still need 2 more cars at this stage.

Spread the word - Team SAU is taking brilliant shape already. I don't think there has ever been a GTR in the low 9s here in Vic, let alone run 8s!

For a lot of you that have emailed questions or posted here...

Still awaiting a response. Was in touch with the guys today about it and should have some further info end of the week to get back to people with :thumbsup:

Keep the entries coming in! Very rare and awesome opportunity.

Team SAU's first entrant has been selected & confirmed to represent!

Adam Newton in "BIG RED". The carbon/widebody R32 GTS-t with 400rwkw on tap!

Adam will represent in following PRO Class events:

Time Attack

Rally Stage

BIG RED is also a part of the Advan Yokohama Team Click for pics/specs

The pictures on the Advan Yokohama site are a little out of date, so the mandatory carbon teaser pic...

Also see BIG RED & Adam in action @ Calder Park!

Unfortunately can't make it due to other plans clashing :angry: plus the drive from adelaide all the way there isnt great lol anyway i would have loved to come out & support in any field SAU needed me in BEST OF LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE REPRESENTING!!!

Still need more Show'n'Shine entires!

There are some amazing cars here on SAU - bring them outta the woodwork!


How do I enter?

Send an email with the following information to: sauforumbattle@gmail.com

1. Which class(es) you would like to enter

2. Some pictures & detail about your car

3. Previous circuit/drag times. Also previous driving/racing experience

4. Ensure you have read the regulations

Any emails without the information above will be ignored.

Not everyone will be allowed to enter due to the limited numbers, if you entry is approved it will appear here in this Official Thread. Obviously we are looking to win, or at the least place very well. We must select the best and hope you all support the call that needs to be made.


Ha ha ha he will probably be a S'n'S entry, don't think its ready to be punted yet?

I also hear someone might be building a 2.8 /-5s in a GTR just for this and have a crack at street class with E85 & 400rwkw+

Should be amusing to watch on street tyres torching all fours :D

Hopefully confirm it all up next week.

Still waiting for Forum Battle to answer my long long list of questions :(

Dont you dare enter your car in the SNS Dan! It should be entered and being driven, not sitting in a grassy paddock :whistling:

hahaha, the car maybe quick but it's hardly going to compete with the big boys - i'm sure SAU will have some stonking cars in the motorsport segments (already have big red on board) and we'll need it with the Emo's getting around etc.

It would also require either myself to drive (nowhere near quick enough) or someone else, and i don't know how game i am for someone else to drive it in competition.

so i see SnS as the only thing i could possibly help SAU with, depending on who's put their hands up of course. This is going to require a big team effort where even the paddock sitters have to help out for the points.

maybe next time if i get my driving skills up to scratch! :D

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
