Thanks to JEM and SAU execs for the great night. I was the guy asking too many questions about circuit cars -sorry!

I also found Nitto's pitch interesting, learnt a lot about forged internals etc. It was also interesting that he didn't mention any prices which I found amusing. Hopefully I will see you all again at the next track day when my car is up and running :)

never too many questions.

I was actually a little surprised at how few questions there were.

the talks were very in depth though.

, on the nitto front, if you have to ask.....

Had a great old time.

+1 for the guys at JEM putting on the night. Wasn't expecting it to go so late, but there was a lot of info to get through. Put the tech in tech night at some stages!

Was interesting seeing/ hearing tuning philosophy's and personal prefernaces.

I was going to ask Andrew about whether or not a balanced billet crank negated the need for a damper pulley kit on some cars - but Eric seemed to answer it for me before I could get to Andrew privately.

Bit shy still at my age hehe...

I did have a talk to one of the JEM staff at the end.

He himself could have given the type of talk on builds that Andrew gave being an RB specialist full time at JEM.

I'd like to hear him next time.

All the speakers were superb! :happy:

+1 thank for all involved.

The best part of it was that every answer was explained on a level so that a novice could understand. Even if a few questions were very technical.

Really well done.

I'm now more not sold on E85 for the costs. Great in a new car, but the $ to convert seems too high.

Plus, I'm convinced that once Julia see's it becoming popular, she'll slap tax's on it so the cheap bowser benefit will disappear.

Thanks to everyone at JEM and the execs at SAU for organising!

Was a fantastic night, covered a lot of bases and such a variety of topics.

Bobby's new project is absolutely incredible in person. Can't wait to spot it at the local Coles sometime soon! :)

Edit - great photos guys!

I wasn't able to get many shots in - no experience shooting cars but guess I can change that :P

Spent most of my time meeting and greeting and a big kudos to Nick for the lift home :)

As covered by other people, not many questions were asked mostly due to how in depth the talks were - very informative on a lot of areas and also the openness of what goes on too. Z Tune and "Skola Tune" GTRs were very impressive.

Wow looks like it would have been a great night, I'm kicking myself for pulling the pin, the Tom Tom said I would get there just after 9 so I pulled out thinking I look like an idiot pulling up as everything's rapping up. Looks like I missed a top night.

haha I had the same problem, was way late due to M5. On the bright side I missed most of the nitto bit :)

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
