Hi All,

Just wanted to write a quick thread to say goodbye to those I missed at the last meet. Over the last couple of years I have been lucky enough to get suitable work in my industry here in Melbourne, but as of next week I'm relocating with my family to Perth for around a year.

About 5 years ago I imported my skyline, and being extremely passionate about owning it as well as wanting to meet like minded people, I joined SAU. Since being a member when SAU Vic was properly setup over a year ago, I have met a great bunch of people who are not only passionate about their cars but reject the 'usual' sterotype that other clubs tend to attract. Knowing that this club is based on such a great group of people I'm sure the following year will see it grow even more and I look forward to seeing some new faces on the vic tracks in '07 ;)

I will try an hop on the forums as much as I can while away to catch up with everyone but without knowing how Perth will be setup, I’m not sure how often that will be. So until Natalie, Zack and myself see you again in '07 I'd like to thank you all for your friendships and I'll look forward to returning to the Vic tracks after gaining some experience in WA (all I'll be thinking in Perth "...gotta get back to the island.....gotta get back to the island..." :blink:

Take care,

-Ant

Thanks for all your wishs guys & gals.

Nark....Will def catch up when back in Melb but until then enjoy married/engaged life and look after Josie :mrt:

West...enjoy the tracks in '06 and hopefully I'll be a little faster when I come back as I'm looking at doing some track time in WA :huh:

Saff.....Looks like we might have a spare room in Perth depending on the exact acomm arrangements so let us know when you are thinking of heading over!

Dezz....hehehe that would be pretty cool and yes I might as well get the WA tag......never know in a few years I might have the whole set :(

Matt...thanks mate - keep tracking the R34 and look forward to seeing it in a year or so with even more mods!

Thanks mate. Looking to use up lots of frequent flyers next year so Perth is on the cards. Gold Coast in Feb and UK in May so most likely later in the year around Sept time I would have thought.

Thanks for the offer and all the best to all 3 of you B)

Greg...thanks mate and say goodbye to your old man for me.

Bec...Thanks heaps for making my dinner last night and I feel very special considering u missed drinks for me :huh: A big cheers to Al for organizing on very short notice - with those skills he should be the social coord for SAU!!

Leewah....Cheers mate. Actually I'm more concerned about Blaize moving back to Perth and leading me astray than the Sandgropers biting!!! Its all good and maybe we can start a WA team wang group while we are there. I'll be sure to post the pics of any damage we cause to Perth :(

Ant - Best of luck champ. Best wishes to Nat and Zack too.

Don't get settled over there, as I'm gonna need someone to run door handles with :)

Keep the car off the walls and the Family safe.

Cheers

Scott

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
