Not sure if this thread is still going but just signed up - cheers guys!

Hi Guys, More of a lurker than anything else, however I use the forum HEAPS and I even went on my first SAU cruise the other day which was an awesome outing and even better people. I just wanted to say something I've thought for a while. I really admire the community and have half heartedly tried to join multiple times but there was just no easy process which is your biggest problem. Hell, I'm even a member of ARDC and I won't get as much out of my member ship there as I would with SAU. I bet there are a bunch of people out there who would give money if the process was a bit easier. Main points: You need a SUPER EASY process for SAU membership, contributing etc with an easy payment via credit card. Happy to help put something together if you want, just PM me. Cheers,

First social event I made it too, nice to meet everyone! I couldn't stay for the movie but definitely need to head back to the bunker, the chick schnitzels looked pretty damn epic! Had a few car issues on the way home so probably a good thing that didn't happen on the way to katoomba, hope to be at the next one.

Just want to double check, what is the location of the Maccas everyone is meeting at at 10.30am?

Any more sports on this one?

Hey Mate, Was looking for info on sunroof's and stumbled across this, definitely an amazing build! I was looking at deleting my sunroof and plexi was looking like the best option and just had a couple of questions around what you thought: How are you holding the plexi in the sunroof, did you use a mix of bolts and sealant? I notice you are now going to register the car, is plexi sunroof, rear glass legal for a road car? I'm in sydney as well with a 32, where did you get your plexi made up? Either way this thread has definitely helped me out!

Have used JLM since I picked up a Skyline, they definitely know their stuff and our car is 10X better because of it, goes pretty damn hard now compared to when we bought it. Senior swears a lot but it generally means he's sorting something solid out.

http://www.hitechmufflers.com.au/ is where the exhaust on my car came from when I bought it. I only found out because by chance we took it back to them to get a screamer pipe plumbed back in but can't fault their work. It's in Darlinghurst as well so a bit closer too.

How much for the vented bonnet?

Hey mate, I know this has gone but where abouts did you source this from? Cheers!

Hey Guys, Was just wondering if anyone from SAU was heading over to SEMA this year in vegas?

Wow. Just called up and was a bit skeptical as I don't have a GTR but they insured my R32 GTST with some of the modifications we have receipts for. Currently - Shannons - $2200 p.A NRMA - $571 P.A comprehensive, insured for more. I do have my green slip with Shannons, did some one mention that might be problematic when switching comprehensive provider? Pretty chuffed about this really, hated paying thousands when the car just sat in the garage most of the time... AND this put me in a better discount bracket for having multiple policies with NRMA.

what size is the boost gauge?

Hey man, Nah don't have the dump pipe unfortunately. Reason for upgrading is could finally afford the turbo set up I wanted which also suits future engine options such as RB25 or 30. This one was working fine just not what I wanted for the car in the long run (came with the car when bought)

Hey man, I'll take these, when is best for pickup?

Hey Guys, Just got a few things for sale which are no longer needed and just taking up space so all offers considered really: RB20 / 25 turbo Kit - Hi Mount Manifold, ITS turbo (not sure of exact specs), Tial Wastegate. Made about 230kw on an RB20, would also be ideal for an RB25 Nice cheap option - $700 FMIC - It says Greddy on the top but potentially a copy, was in the car when bought so not sure of origin, great condition, some black spray paint on it - $100 D1 Style Catch Can - $50 Tial BOV - $100 Amp and Sub - Fusion FP-600D , Fusion 12" sub and enclosure, not really necessary for a track car - $100 Stock R32 GTST Rims and tyres - taking up space, 2 X good bridgestone potenza Re002's with good tread, 2 x no name chinese brand tyres - $150 Racing Hart Forged CP-F wheels. One rim has a crack, looking at getting this repaired if possible but feel free to make an offer if you want. Staggered 9 / 10" , 35, 42 offset Pictures can be seen here: http://imgur.com/a/xjfbQ Cheers

Hey Guys, Thanks very much for the offers, sorry Terry as soon as I put this up some suitable wheels came up for sale and wasn't sure if I was sold on the stock evo wheels on the skyline in all honesty... Picked up a set of wed sports TC005's with good tyres for just over $800 so pretty happy about that, forged, and under 7kg per rim: http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/wedssport/swap/weds_tc_005_gry_ci3_l.jpg Thanks again

Hi Terry thanks for the reply, it was great meeting you the other day, I was the guy hanging around out at Todd's with the black R32 GTST when you were checking out the white R32. What width and model of enkei's are they? Definitely interested.

Hey Everyone, Recently got rid of some wheels of my R32 GTST and am looking for some replacements ASAP. Must meet the following criteria: 17" only width - will consider 8 - 9 inch wide rims Offsets must suit GTST so around +25 - +30 offsets give or take a few mm Rims must be decent quality / brand as they will be getting tracked Tyres - doesn't need to come with tyres but would be preferable Have cash waiting and am in Sydney, not really looking at dealing with shipping. Cheers!

Hey Johnnilicte, firstly, trak-life is awesome, there are some pretty solid write ups in there from the little i've read so far. That link is broken, appears to be a space on the end of it.

Hi Guys, Just got a quick question here about wastegate sizing and options. To give you a bit of context: Engine: RB20DET Turbo: TD06-20G We had been recommended a 50mm wastegate and opted for a Turbosmart 50mm and after a few delays we finally got the wastegate but they had sent us the 60mm. I'm getting a little bit impatient to get everything into the car to start driving again so was wondering if the 60mm would be fine or if it would be best to sort it out properly and switch it over for the 50mm. Does anyone have any input onto the best choice for wastegate size? Turbosmart on their website states: Big Turbo/Low Boost = Bigger Wastegate Big Turbo/High Boost = Smaller Wastegate Small Turbo/High Boost = Smaller Wastegate Small Turbo/Low Boost = Bigger Wastegate But doesn't neccesarily translate over to precise measurements. Cheers!

Hey Dave, I considered the hybrid performance manifold as they do look pretty solid compared to other options out there but not quite sure where they are manufactured etc along with not understanding the difference between their manifolds (some looks the same but cost 150 bucks more kind of thing). In the end went with a 6boost manifold which is solid quality, known to perform and last well (lifetime warranty) and didnt have the guts to try out one of the hybrid manifolds. The guys at 6boost would definitely be able to help make sure it fits in there as well as all manifolds are made to order I think, you can check out a bit more below: http://www.automotiveaxis.com/company-profile/6boost/manifolds/ if you go with hybrid, really interested to hear what you think

Does this happen under a certain circumstance like when slowing down or anything like that? Currently got a similar issue in our r32 but only when coming to a stop and has currently been diagnosed as a vacuum issue
