Duncan, do you have a pic of your r32? we could show the wide variety of skylines, from street, to race

Yes a model would be nice :D

Stagea would be ok! After all it has an RB in it......

Lets organise this sooner rather than later

Some might want to be careful entering your cars into these types of events. A lot of car enthusiats do see your car - and a portion of those people would be the kind to steal cars etc. I imagine a few cars get stolen and stripped after shady types get to see exactly whats under the bonnet at these types of shows. Maybe removing your plates for the event would be a good idea? Just so people dont recognise it when it's parked at a local shopping centre or whatever. Some people may argue that this is one of the reasons that you mod your car (so others can admire it) - but you have to ask yourself if they are the kind of people you want admiration from!

Call me paranoid, but I don't think it's worth the 'glory'. :P

wats the problem? you cant use a phone?

i dont see wats so hard about getting the people together filling out the forms and waiting till the date to take ur cars down

Yep got it in one. I cannot use a phone :P

Well when I went to the site to have a look, it was says show booked out. Thats why I emailed them... Meh

Chris/AMS, I wouldn't mind putting my Stagea up there with yours, but I probably still won't have made any mods to it, going by the short time any money spends in my bank account before I can even consider spending it on the car. I would have at least liked to have lowered it with one of SK's kits (or similar), and maybe thrown some nice wheels on. Then again, I could leave the standard wheels on to contrast against your car, too.

But having the car displayed also means not driving it for a few days... ;) Ah, well, I guess if this goes ahead and I add my car to the SAU stand, then I'll just deal with it.

I'll most likely take my plates off though, maybe get some dummy ones made up for display purposes.

Cheers,

Nick T.

right on my man. i leave my car in the garage for this very reason. why drive it when someone will spot my plates and track me down you know. :(

be good to see some skyline bling at the autosalon. good luck guys.

As far as number plates go, we could all get fake plates made up in the same style as car makers use for their new models, simply with "SAU" on them??

Theyre quite cheap aswel

Good Idea

Autosalon got back to me today

Hi

Do apologise for the late reply Chris, I just returned to the office today.

Anyway... Trade Stand is design for anyone who wishes to promote their business and for that please contact our Sales Department. Club display is for any competitor who wishes to promote their club... you can have banners.... T-shirts.. so long none of the text or printing contains any business who sponsored the club.

To be a club you must have a minimum of 6 cars...

Attached is an entry form for the Sydney and Newcastle show

Now how do I go about uploading the entry forms? :D

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
