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.....

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
