Errr... Guys, you can't just buy the HID bulbs and plug them in you know? So if you went and bought those two HID bulbs for $300, you would have just flushed $300 down the toilet. Instead, consider donating $300 to the forums (See this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...read.php?t=4845) But yeah, you need a ballast unit, and a new wiring loom, to connect the ballast to power, and also from the ballast to the new bulb. This is why they sell kits. You can't just buy the bulbs and plug them in.

I ran 1 bar of boost on my first GTS-t with stock intercooler for about a year. It loved it and didn't miss a beat.

TRY09S is making a hell of a lot more power than 300rwkw, and it's also stripped out. Brett's car is full weight.

I knew it

Your car definitely doesn't look like it's at stock ride height... You definitely have, at the VERY LEAST aftermarket springs.

"OWWWWW!!!!! IT WON'T FIT!!!!!"

No "live and learn" comments from me mate... You already know that. We all went through the same trials and tribulations with speeding fines when we were younger. (Geez, I sound like an old fart) Cliffnotes: Bummer. Don't expect your letter to do anything as it's not your first offence, and that's a pretty lame excuse I'm sure the Police and the Magistrates have heard countless times

Oh....... Doesn't everyone have an RB26??? Just kidding mate ... Best way to get them to make an RB25 one is to get lots of people emailing them requesting one!!!

:werd: Lets see some stats from the organisers, and lets see who let the club down. What percentage were forum members and what percentage were paying SAU NSW Members? The only way to stop this happening in future is to analyse how things got screwed up this time! As for the $50, I got that from Paul's post asking for those who didn't turn up to pay $50 to Aaron. My bad... 40 people is a much more reasonable target

You missed out on suspension modifications on your webpage Dundan

Please pay no heed to this post. 2.5" exhaust... WTF? Maybe for a Naturally aspirated car like a Maxima, but turbocharged cars need as little backpressure as possible. The bigger the better.

Firstly, I never said I was coming to partake on the skidpan. Until I get baffle plates in my sump, I'm staying away from any high G-force cornering. I did however come to take photos after lunch, so I saw quite a bit of action... Okay. So..... Aaron McGill lost $1400 on the day. We promised 50 people and only 29 1/2 turned up. We'll round it upto 30 for arguments sake. That means that we were down 20 people on what we promised. So what's 20 x $50? $1000. So even if we produced the numbers we said we would, Aaron would still be down $400. Does that sound right to you? It sure doesn't to me. So what does this mean? Think about it this way. If you need 50 people each time you run a skidpan day, just to break even, it simply isn't feasible. 50 people is a LOT to secure for each and every trackday.......... But wait, it gets worse. 50 isn't the break even number. $4100 / $50 = 82 People. You want to secure AT LEAST 82 people, each and everytime you throw a skidpan day??? Are you kidding me? Personally I thought our effort of 30 people was EXCELLENT. Why don't we get those numbers at circuit days??? 82 people is WAY too many anyway. So what does this mean? I'm sorry to say, but $50 is just too cheap. I realise that Paul (Oz97GTR) was left in charge of setting the price for SAU FORUM participants, which obviously backfired due to the tremendous amount of no-shows. But regardless of that fact, in my opinion, 82 people is too many for a skidpan day. By increasing the cost, you cut down on the number of participants, and make it easier to break even, as you aren't relying on as many people, which boils down to a fallible human component. Please don't take this as an attack on Aaron McGill. That couldn't be more wrong. After my engine gets built, I would be EXTREMELY pissed off if a bunch of our FORUM members ruined everything and Motoconcepts and Aaron McGill stopped running trackdays and I couldn't goto any I'm not sure if you noticed or not that I emphasised FORUM members. How many of the no-shows were SAU Members? That is, paid membership fee and aren't just forum posters? I have no idea, but I can take a guess. I know most of the SAU NSW Members, and I can't see them skipping out on a trackday committment unless they had a very good reason, and if it put someone out of pocket they would do the right thing and reimburse those who got burnt. How about in future, SAU NSW MEMBERS get a discount, and pay a reduced deposit (50%?), but FORUM MEMBERS have to pay full price, up front. How's that for incentive for joining the CLUB, and not just posting on the free forums that Christian pays for? Just my little ramble, after talking to Boosted Zed and Blitz about the big financial loss faced by poor Aaron last Saturday. Comments encouraged, and hopefully we can work this out and there will still be trackdays and skidpan days in the coming year.

I see... And I assume by this you have bought and used D01Js, RE540s, and RS55s on the street and for track work?

Damon... Damien... Same thing dammit

Yeah, it's actually the EVAPORATION process that cools down the intercooler (and hence the air going through it), not the starting temperature of the water... So it wouldn't matter how hot the water was that was being sprayed onto the intercooler. As that's not the reason the intercooler is being cooled down.

Thanks for trying Brett! Come through for me Jono BTW, the EDFC controller is AWESOME!!! You gotta come for a ride

It isn't. It's just MINES_DATSUN that's bringing this thread and forums down with his immature attitude.

Here are some photos I took... http://photos.fortheboyz.com/cars/0312ecskid/index.php

2 bar minimum.

Here's the dyno sheet:

My dog looks hungry.... Hmmmm, I don't think he's eaten today... When can I pick them up?
