So, Chants and I were talking last night and she thought that since there's a lot of great photos, we could make an SAU calendar using them. Who would buy one?

Also, Mike has come up with a wicked cruise for Jan around Australia Day. Details to be released soon ;)

Not to take anything away from the winner. BUT the blue LS1( or was it an LS2) conversion was clean as

It was one of the ones that was very close to winning. There were about 4 or 5 that were very close but Reflectors looked like he had spent about a week cleaning under there as well as having a very neat set up and that edged him in front.

Whew finally got a chance to jump on, some nice pics floating around!!

Thanks again Exec, you did a tops job :thanks:

eeeeexactly. There were a TONNE of tidy engine bays, but it's friggin hard to keep a modded engine bay clean AND neat after changing stuff around. Every wire was neatly tucked away, every line was secured, and even the zip ties were clean.

I'm a bit pissed that we didn't win best interior. I mean, when do empty iced coffee bottles, woolies receipts and a 2008 destroyed street directory NOT make something better?? All I can think is that the judge was just jelly.

Great day, I got lazy and only took some photos at the first meeting spot (was bloody HOT!!! too much Car Porn)

Nice shots! I'm so glad you got a pic of that silver 32 with the HKS rb28, but sad he didn't come the whole way. I would have LOVED to stare at thing a bit more.

Mind if I steal the last pic for my files?

I was REALLY impressed with that conversion. It was definitely a beautiful set up and sounded the piece on the road too. Great to cruise from southside with the R34 LS2 and the R33 LS1.

Haha, there's more cleaning to do - if I had more time I would have spent another few hours doing the underside of the bonnet. Until the motor comes out, it's all hand polishing and TLC for that engine bay. Edited by Reflector

The fact that you hand polish it is a great start. Some of us haven't cleaned it since... errm... yeah.. :P

    • You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.
    • Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.
    • The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?
    • Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks
    • Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
