Thought I'd add the the quote theme!

aaahhh!! for the life of me, I can't remember which one of the vic sau guys is the photographer! He had a website, with pics from the recent elwood cruise, & on his site had something about tv commercial proposals... :confused: If I remember I'll let you know!

Ive got about 40min of our the last skid pan day, but I only filmed our cars... ooh maybe 2min of the others

guys, at this "early" stage, they have asked me for an approximation of numbers. Thus the poll. I am sure the offer will be much better than 10%... they are probably reading this thread so the more interest they see from SAU the more $$$$ they see! Capish

Hi Guys, I am currently liasing with eXedy trying to negotiate a "Permanent" discount for SAU members Australia Wide. This is not a group buy, & I'm not making any money for my time & efforts. I'd like to guage people's interest on this topic... so I have attached a poll. I believe exedy are also behind the Nismo & Trust Clutches, but stand to be corrected.

if you make the effort to trash this or any thread, perhaps take the time to notice!!! Their quote is in US Dollars!

*cough* uhhum, *cough* uhhum... keep it on the safe side for Mr Costello & Howard. We al pay the import tax & GST when we import direct from OS.

See attached... I have better quality version but had to compress it quite a bit to upload.

No Hard feelings, just spoke to our rep at mercedes, & your right about "my apologies" the SL600 V12, having twin turbo. I always assumed it was straight V12, & the SL65 which is due for release as the only only model with the V12 Bi turbo.

Easiest way is to upload them to your SAU Gallery. That would be great, thanks king_kw13.

We quickly went to one in broady...then gave them a good wash at home.

With all due respect SKYLNR, your way way off! 1. The SL55 basic on the road is just under $400K 2. The SL600 is not twin turbo, the SL65 "AMG" is twin turbo 3. E55 150K? I dont think, try $240 on the road drive away no more to pay. You must be confused with the previous model. Our's is a 5.4ltr V8 Supercharged pushing 350kw & 710Nm of torque, with approx 600Nm of it available from 1500rpm. The previous model is the same 5.4 less supercharging, some other fancies about 250Nm of torque & 80Hp. 4. The current CLK55 is a similar motor as the current E55 but doesn't have the supercharger again similar to the older E55. 5. Which merc dealership do you work at??? There are only 2 mercedes AMG models available with this engine, currently they are the E55 & the SL55. Unless you have driven a benz with this motor, I cannot begin to tell how damn fast this is. There's is close to nothing that can move so fast at any speed, any gear, any moment. Also you need to remember these thing way close to 2tonne do a 0-100 in 4.5~ & a qtr mile in a low 12, carries five people comfortably & I can let the misses drive it, & be confident, she will blow just about eveything that even contemplates trying to run her.

$350K... I dont think so, that's 996 Twin turbo territory with an X50 motor upgrade. Depending on options, a little more than what your Skyline with the upgrades costs, but gotta admit..krptr's is the nicest I have seen.

Thanks, if I dont win this ebay auction.. I'll grab it off you. PS: I've got that copy of Drift Bible... for you PM me you details.

There are a few places, but I got a bid on one at ebay... for $15-20.. But dont go out bidding me!!!! there's also another bloke selling them on ebay for around $25...

As the title says, car got badged, so I've ordered the GTR badge, but they also took the Swinging type "NISSAN" flap that covers the rear boot lock see below Does anyone know where I can buy just the cover from? or do I have to buy the whole kit?

Found that faning the clutch was the only way to get it to initiate sideways... from there on it was a bull fight with the front traction but really got the hang of it toward the end.... oohh and maybe a couple of times on the way home We tried it with the ESP on & that was useless, we could have gone around the track at 150k's with no slippage..boooring! I found the E55 too hard, to torquey, so I just started throwing donuts, but Kev reminded me & the bro that he would not allow that sort of thing to happen but in our case he would let it go... Maybe cause he didn't want to get out of it, When kev drove, he made it look like swan lake & dance around that pan.

The only pics I can find are of the Saturday group which Rianto took & put up on his Yahoo page http://au.geocities.com/sau_skidpan_210204/index.htm but it plays up now & then. I have snipped some of them & stuck em in my gallery. But would love to see the sunday guys. Interesting to see how Snowman went in the R34, as Kev & I were hitting around 80-90k's an hour to get the gtr sideways, & kev said the R34 had to go even faster. As for krptr & the R33 boys, you guys did awesome especially toward the end. As for "Corey" in 180sx... Well He's what I'd call a hustler My a$$ you've never done it before even Big Kev was impressed.

I'm after one of these, or if anyone know where's a good place to pick one up let me know. Thanks.

Hey Guys, Thanks to Rianto & some of the other guys, we got pics of the Saturday group... but does anyone have pics of the sunday group?

We had a ball at the skid pan, how'd you guys go ? Where are the Pics...

are you going to paint the BOV's the same blue as your interior panels??? Lucky you got Personalised number plates, some GTR ownes are going to have to watch out for your beast. Well done.

Hi jetgts, do you have the rear boot lock?

thank you guys.. had a ball, very tired, need lots'a sleep, early start on the "fork lift"... PS Kev, I hear you cabbies start about the same time as us fork lift drivers...ay? We'll speak to you into the next week about that booking...

I have some mates with 03Sti's who run 23~psi or 1.6-7bar & still can't catch the gtr!
