Hey all,

If your not a Mushroom you would know by now that the SAU Nationals 2013 is being held in South Australia this year.

It's a bit of a trip but reward yourself and take some well earned time off work and make the Journey.

I encourage you all to consider as these are AWESOME events. Much fun during the days and shenanigans in the evenings.

A number of us ACT peeps represented @ Shepparton Vic in 2011 and Goulbourn NSW in 2012.

Best opportunity to meet the rest of the Skyline community and have some unforgettable times.

Yes I'll be going and I'll be driving the GTR.

Bit of a Nostalga trip also. Haven't been to S.A for about 25yrs.

Grew up in a number of places in SA from Semaphore, Port Adelaide, Smithfield plains to Inverbrackie up in the Hills. (Army brat)

Got my first tatt on Hindley street near Rundle Mall ! (ye old eagle - lol).

I'm going to go for a beer at Eagle on the Hill too. Never be the same as the original.

I remember the Dukebox and Astroids/PACman/Frogger table game, bucket of hot chips and a fire engine :)

Small stone pub and had to duck to get through the doorways. Awesome old pub.

Even tried tipping the soccer bus over on Devils Elbow when single lane and it turned in on itself.

No, a bit far out. Just seeking ACT interest at the moment.

Also want to see when NSW crew may cruise past and see if it suits.

Will plan with Kyle and any others and see how we lock in with each others thinking.

Accommodation will be the first thing locked in/down.

I hate the Hay plains so much I can't even tell you how many times I've done that freaking trip.

I wish I could go and have the GTR in my old stomping grounds (I grew up in Adelaide) however too close to my US trip in November.

Look forward to seeing pics and footage, will be an epic convoy!

I too have done hay plains one to many times (every year for the past 21 years)

not sure if ill drive or tow yet. will see what happens. if i tow it gives the advantage of having more space + if (when) someone breaks something/has a problem we could shuffle their car onto the trailer. something to think about i spose

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
