Autosalon 2006

Yes It will be held at a race track in Sydney and as far as I can tell those who are top something go race at a circit in Japan

Nice but what about the average gtst.....at melb last year they ranged from 180rwkw upwards.....

As for GTR's well leewahs purple beast took out most powerful 4wd (and still holds the record I believe)

hmmmmmmm. how much do you think a GTS-T could do. i am hoping to get mine in the mid 200s

[Psiker]

i dont see mid 200's as to unnatainable. My Auto with just FMIC catback and 10.5 psi makes 225rwhp.

Ill be going to autosalon this year. I go every year. Sure you see the same stuff sometimes but if you realy love your cars and the import scene then you should support these events by walking thru the door.

Good Luck to SAU this year. See if you can top the likes of SilviaWA and Antilag

Ant, Average for Skylines on the dyno is high 200's to mid 300's, but alot of new high hp cars coming on the scene, so should be alot which are 5-600rwhp+.

Cheers

Thanks Paul...so is the "high 200 to 300.." in hp or kw??

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Ant, Everything in Perth will be in hp, for some reason we never made the conversion to kW

Cheers

prob because they like to give out bigger numbers to make the car sound more powerful. if your car is under 300hp at the wheels i wouldnt even bother going on the dyno.

you must ask yourself, what mods do i have other than 200 something hp but more importantly, what sets my car apart from every other skyline on the road? if the public wanted to see a skyline they could head down to citywest on one of the cruises.

make yours unique in some special way or even just nicely redo the interior/ body kit/ polish engine bay big ass stereo and paint in some unique colour..... that normally does it

i am more into looks then speed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

this is very true...400rwhp approx to 300rwkw....

400 sounds damn nice in comparison to 300...

lol

look at the list of mods as well...ppl have the tendency to put in all stuff gauges, body kits, gear knob, steering wheel..which has no effect whatsoever on perfomance....just to make the modification list longer...~~

I think I'll be in this yr...my mates want to go in as a group...hopefully my car will not be looked down ><

[Ant97GTR]

I can't believe you guys still use hp...after all SI unit of power is the watt

Anyway been part of the SAU vic Autosalon melbourne for the last two years....we usually put in a mix of show/power/race cars with dyno reading from 180rwKW upwards to Leewahs beast. Comments we got from the crowds suggested it was good to see was 'obtainable' mods on the cars could do rather than a car that had money thrown at it.

After all not everyone out there has thousands of $$$ to spend on their cars.....
