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 ;)

shouldnt matter if an engine bay is stock or modified,should be judged on how tidy it is,well thats my opinion anyway. :yes:

So modified because stock engine bays are too cluttered.

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?

was a great day, nice route and wasnt expecting Best Overall award, all the time spent tidying things up payed off. ^ I tried to save some of those pics, but flickr wouldnt let me :(

I've replied to your PM re: laps in the R35 as part of your prize :)

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

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
