The poor owner KNOWINGLY driving an unregistered uninsured car?

I don't think so; he's easily as big an idiot as the dope in the EVO.

I wouldn't say he deserved it; but FFS, if you can't afford to register your car; you can't afford to drive it.

I stay waaaay away from "Enthusiast" events like these; as the dickhead factor is completely off the charts.

These same guys are the ones whining that they are unfairly targeted, yet leave their brains in the glovebox at all times.

If anything; this highlights how well run SAU events & cruises are. People know if they screw around, you'll be handed to the Police on a platter.

They also understand that we are ambassadors for our cause, and want to promote a positive image.

Idiots like this destroy EVERYONE'S hard work in an instant.

Couldn't have said it better myself if my surname was Scippione

Definitely agree...

SAU events and cruises definitely have a more mature atmosphere, and everyone is sensible because idiots aren't tolerated.

JDMST/EOMM/Lowdown meets etc are more of an attraction to most of the people who have a "look at me" or "us against police" attitude.

+11ty. This is one area where the punishments are too weak. Driving an unregistered car or when disqualified should get the car impounded for a year.

Definitely, people don't think through the consequences of being in a collision while their car is unregistered.

Imagine seriously injuring another driver or pedestrian; you would be financially entirely responsible for anyone involved. It would destroy your life, as well as theirs.

Agree 100% with a lot of things mentioned.

The SAU events have always been held in such high regards.

To prove this the recent Putty Road cruise vid was posted on Motor Magazines Facebook page.

Just goes to show the top management of SAU!

Wow... so many idiots still around. I cant believe these people still turn up to these meets. I stoped going to the JDMST meets a long time ago.. A shame over time it starts to attract idiots, because those meets used to be awesome.

Whenever I film an event, I always ask people if they want their number plates blanked out. Most of the SAU chaps don't really care. The answer is always the same "I'm not doing anything illegal, so why would I care?"

Would be awesome if every community adopted the same mindset as those here.

Cheers,

Yeah the SAU community is different to a lot of them i have found! Sure we all give the car a squirt here and there BUT not in the middle of a car meet!

I've always wanted to go to these JDM meets, however seeing so many cars with All Stars stickers, JDM as f*ck and people making sounds like "needs more low", "stance", vtec, and seeing bone stock civics with half decent wheels and lowered to 1mm and that usual band wagon stuff, puts me off.

Or maybe I'm just too picky and favor the idea of personality.

Nah, you're not a fully sick flat capper swagfag. You actually care about how your car drives. I'm glad I decided it was a good idea not to go to these meets. Assumed they would be shit, haven't been proven wrong.

I was going to say, sounds like all of them were idiots, someone doing a uturn where they shouldn't (blind spot), someone hammering where they shouldnt (lots of people and blind spot), and someone driving a vehicle when they shouldn't (rego etc), then I thought, do I care if darwin eliminates the shitheads. Nup, good work old mate.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      By Lithium · Posted

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
