And for what its worth, seing as we have gone over this so many times, I want to echo Merlis previous comment that those of you who entered the show and shine because you were chasing trophies really did enter the wrong show.

The bitching is pathetic, and those of you who are still complaining and criticising how the judging took place need to give it a rest.

Thats MY 2 cents.

All,

I was at UAS chatting with John and Merli on Saturday. I have a great idea for next year.

OK, I know the perfect venue, its Sydney Based, where there is ample hard surface parking for both participants and spectators, it has access control points, toilets and there is no problem with having a huge number of modified cars.

ORAN PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suggest next year we get UAS to secure a track day at Oran Park. We use the southern car park for the Show Cars. Show & Track cars can stay up the western top side in the garages, and straight track cars can stay at the east garages near the marshal point.

The general public can park outside on the grounds and we can call it the.

Show and Go!

People can not only see the cars in the Show but also watch them at work on the track.

I can see this would be a great venue and we should get heaps of people and cars with the Sydney based location.

I thought UAS could offer $30/session for the once off driver who gets the urge. I think this has the potential to make it huge. We will need additional people on the day to police and control access points. But I think it is a sound idea

What do you think?

Sounds awesome.

You'd need to think about insurance for the track and also public liability too wouldn't you?

How would SAU as a club make $$ from this though? and I read

"We use the southern car park for the Show Cars. Show & Track cars can stay up the western top side in the garages, and straight track cars can stay at the east garages near the marshal point."

what about the other cars that aren't track cars?? I know you track guys think drag or drift racers are beneath you but does the sau sns have to be all about track aswell like the club has been in the past

Busted,

I think you missed the point. It’s a free car park with toilet facilities in the Sydney area, with access control points. Charge admission if you want to make money, but I was providing a solution to the constructive ideas that have come forward from the last SNS day.

1. Sydney based day would ensure more cars and more people.

2. Grass is not the best surface for show cars.

3. Finding a host that will allow a car park fully of modified cars.

As a bonus people will get a chance to drive their performance car in a safe surrounding and spectators get to see some of the cars at full noise.

By the way the southern car park is huge and will accommodate heaps of show cars. I actually got the idea from the 2005 auto salon which was at eastern creek.

No Pail I didn't miss the point at all you put an idea forward and then asked "what do you think" and thats what I think or am I only allowed to reply if I agree with your idea

Talking about missing the point, I noticed you didn't answer any of my questions about it being 100% track

Busted, in addition, I think your comments are way out of line.

I dont know if you have ever meet me but next time we are at an event come for a chat and you will soon understand I dont think anyone is beneath me!

Busted to clarify.

My idea was to have a show and shine in the Oran park carpark.

There is a carpark at this location which is only ever about 20% full when track days are being run.

At the south side of this carpark there is enough room for 200-300 cars. Yes the show cars can park here and be judged and viewed.

On the north side of the same car park, is 60-70 garages, show cars that want to go for a drive can stay up the top to ensure they stay part of the show, but also get access to the track.

The 100% track day cars can use the east side of the garages and stay out of the show's way.

So to answer you question, no its not a 100% track day.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Honestly: Buy a name brand turbo. Garrett or Borg Warner. Anything else you will be chasing "but why doesn't mine end up like the dyno graphs the sellers post?" Buying a brand name turbo gets your result right where other people with the same turbo experience. Also, 600whp in any country - expect your engine to become a consumable. If you're okay with that and can plan for that then all the power to you. Also consider your clutch will suck and your grip will be less than stellar. Aim at 450whp. You'll have a better car and more fun actually using it, and it'll probably be faster for every scenario with the one exception being drag launching it on drag radials at a drag strip where you might be a tenth faster. Sincerely, Wiser, cooler heads.

      RB25DET NEO Turbo water return line

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I've driven it around "in da hooodd" and it seems ok, have driven it around with the A/C on as well to generate more heat. So far no leaks. Yet to do a long drive OR a track day in it, so both will be the tests. I think if I were to do it again, I would just plumb the water return straight into the intake manifold's bleed ports (un-used) on the top side, noting that I have an aftermarket one. I hope this works well, because I cannot be fked working on the car ever again     In terms of your usual highflow kit, I would just return the water to the hardline behind the head.

      I know. It was there when I bought it, I don't know if I hate the scrape or the totally wrong coloured "touch up" paint more. I do plan to fix that when I can build up enough confidence 🤣

      RB25DET NEO Turbo water return line

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Do you have a link to the kit you bought? I don't have anything helpful to contribute other than suggesting to make sure that you do it right. It's a pain now, but it will be even more of a pain down the line if you have to fix it again. I've been ignoring a small leak on that return line fitting in my car. Still weighing up what to do with it. Jonny @Dose Pipe Sutututu has routed it back to the front of the engine to make it less painful. See this and following comments in his build thread. Not sure how it has been holding up since though.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      Awesome! Thank you for the confirmation. We’ll see if anyone has experience with HyperGear, Pulsar, or other turbo brands with good response and overall power.    After more research, I’m leaning towards the HyperGear ATR43SS3 ProR with .63 turbine. This a dyno graph from an RB25DET Neo with following mods: • 1650cc injectors • adaptronic plug-in ECU • 600x300x81mm Intercooler • 3in exhaust  • 4in downpipe  • R35 GTR Coilpacks  • twin scroll manifold  • twin 50mm wastegate    What do you think?
