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 :)

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

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 ><

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.....

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
