  1. Greg... A friend of Nick's (Blitz)... What a truely beautiful car that is eh? Work of art, which isn't over the top... Very rare these days
  2. Here are a select few... To see the rest, go here: http://www.andrewho.com/recent/040328sau/index.php
  3. Sorry for the lateness... I took 2Gb of photos, so it took a while to sort through and post process them http://www.andrewho.com/recent/040328sau/index.php
  4. Did you try pressing the button?? :devfu:
  5. I really don't think we need everyone to give a dissertation in reply to Malcolm's post. That's just going to bring this thread and event down. How about replying if you have something NEW to say...
  6. Christian's engine fell out
  7. SL55's are so awesome I pulled up behind one as I exited the gym and the guy was talking to his friend in the passenger seat when he noticed me in his rear view mirror. He pushed the button to activate the height adjustable suspension and raised and lowered the car a few times and gave me a grin HAHAHAHAHA... Awesome cars
  8. Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest... I replaced the steering wheel on one of my old skylines and the hicas light would come on randomly above 80km/h and stay on until I turned the car off. I also used the wrong boss kit and the sensor didn't line up correctly, so that might have been the problem too...
  9. Mmmmmmmmmm... Volcanic Chicken :yum:
  10. Overlap is the portion of the engines rotation for which the exhaust valve is still open right at the end of the exhaust stroke, and the intake valve is also open to give a head start to the incoming charge. The exhaust gas is whistling out of the exhaust port at the same time the intake charge is starting to trickle past the intake valve. Lots of overlap works great at high rpm because more intake charge manages to cram itself into the cylinder, but lots of overlap will also make the engine run badly at low rpm, as exhaust gas manages to make its way back up the intake manifold, diluting the incoming air/fuel charge, and depositing soot on the intake runners, carburetor, etc. If you have more than about 40-50 degrees of overlap, you're looking at something more like a race cam than a street cam. Lobe centre angle, on the other hand, is the number of degrees between the point where the intake valve is at maximum lift and the point where the exhaust valve is at maximum lift. The two angles are related - for a given lobe design, as the LCA gets smaller, the overlap gets larger. Smaller degree LCA's usually give you lots of low rpm torque, but not as much high-rpm power. Larger-degree LCA's give you lots of high rpm power, but poor low-rpm torque.
  11. Unique Autosports (http://www.nismo.com.au) should be able to sort you out. Send them an email.
  12. German beer is great, but beer and driving don't mix too well I'll try and make this one, after my disappointing last minute pull out of the last one :Oops:
  13. It will bolt onto the hubs, but the front wheels will hit the guard at full lock. 9" is too wide for the front GTS-t guards...
  14. --------------------------Inlet--------Exhaust Timing--------------------240---------236 Lift-----------------------8.58--------8.58 Lobe Centre Angle---------113---------125
  15. Although it may not have started out as intentional, keeping your foot firmly on the accelerator after noticing that it's tearing up the grass and the car isn't moving forwards......... That TURNS into intentional behaviour. That's the way I heard about it anyway, and why the hell anyone would do that at an event like this is beyond me. Anyway, sorry for your loss. Hope the police believe you, as it sounds like the woman is going to fight it and is claiming that she had the green.
  16. Wow. What a day! Next to no sleep, woke up (still drunk) an HOUR EARLY because I forgot about daylight savings, and made my way to Wahroonga Shell servo for the 7am meetup. Early morning rain meant that the cars had to be re-cleaned when we arrived at Mingara, but it wasn't too bad. I'm lightly toasted (sunburnt) from walking around all day taking photos.. I still have no idea where all those cars came from!!! All those R34 GTRs came from nowhere! Are they all on the forums? Where did they hear about the Show 'n Shine??? Absolutely AWESOME that they came along though! Made the show eleventy billion times better And all those spectators!!! We should really have asked them where they heard of the event, so we can pursue those avenues of advertising for future events! The spectator turnout was INCREDIBLE!!! Top marks for all the organisers... I couldn't fault the day one bit, except for the heroes who decided to do burnouts on the grass... I wish I had seen it, because I swear on my life I would have taken down their plates and called the police on them. That kind of immature behaviour has no business taking place at SAU events.
  17. Sydneykid has stated that stock RB26 cams are an excellent upgrade for RB20s, being longer duration and higher lift... And I just happen to have a set for sale out of a low kms 1996 R33 GTR PM me if you're interested. Will be a LOT cheaper than Tomei cams ($300 plus post)
  18. oh man........ I need coffee.
  19. I need to get those pistons off you mate... Give me a call and I'll come pick them up... There's some quick cash for you...
