You would hate that car if you did the event. The first time you heard it it was tops. After 3 days of hearing it you were just praying it would blow up.

Yeah definately second that. Looked good but that thing blipping the accelerator was deafening. At least he turned it off when waiting. $400K to build though one of the Porsche guys was saying! :rofl:

$40,000 worth of brakes.......

Glad to see all 3 of hte SAU cars made it all the way through the event without trouble. Go nissan!

Jack - the black R32 GT-R from NSW was fastest at Sandown with a 1.20.0.

mmm sweet sentence. the fastest car at a VIC track was a GTR. from NSW. and a 32 no less! giddy up!

congrats to all those out there. especially troy, you did mighty well it seems for someone with a below average IQ... you are pretty good looking though so perhaps the timing guys were kind to you? hehe well done mate. you made 57-1 a reality. good work.

lol... poor frisby.

And it was almost a win for me. My plates are BRI-58Y, the NSW GTR had the plates BRI-73Y. His name was Brighty and he was a blood nut to boot...only he could drive and had a quick car :P

man that is creepy. so what you are saying is basically this bloke was a smarter, faster better looking version of you, with enough sense to stay in NSW to boot? damn that hurts.

i still love you troy boy. you can booty call me any time.

Okay here is my rundown of the weekend James style:

- Chris is an absolute legend and we were definately the noisiest people at the dinner presentation on Friday night when he took out three trophys for the quickest times.

- Brisby broke one of Chris' trophys while very drunk and fighting for the front seat of the car with Snowy for their lift home whilst very intoxicated.

- Snowys daughter Keira or Snowflake as adam likes to call her, is the most adorable little girl in the whole wide world.

- Going to the Shepparton Strippers is not advised even if eveyone else is going.

- Driving back from Shepparton I was behind the Z Tuned and a GT2 who decided to have a little bit of fun while driving next to each other on the hume and it was the best thing I saw all weekend!!

- Adam wins everything on style points and had plenty of cheers.

- James enjoyed driving around shepparton while still wearing his stealth race helmet because he forgot his sunglasses and it had a tinted viser.

- No matter what dutton rally organisers tell you it is illegal to wear no number plates during transit stages of the rally, adam and Brisby both got a $120 Fine and three demerit points. We were pulled over for 50 minutes by the Benalla TMU, the organisers were even speaking to him on my mobile phone, but no dice we still got the fine.

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

- Chris and Snowy were the coolest SAU team (Did we expect anything less!) as they both cleaned up in their class results and the overall results. Well Done Guys!!

- Even though they are the coolest they nealry killed us all at Winton when they pushed the car to extreme limits and my heart certainly stopped for at least three seconds as snowy spun onto the main straight but then put the boot back in to get a killer lap, Chris did the same down the back side of the track. These boys definately drove hard all weekend!!

- I was consistantly placed in the mid field all weekend but I'm just glad i finished. Definately need more track practise before next year.

- Adam got a trohpy for 2nd place in our class and also came 8th overall in the co drivers handicap.

- James did a fantastic job behind the wheel of the Silver bullet, he's never even driven a rear wheel drive before. I wouldn't be suprised if he brings out the cheater EVO for next year.

- Brisby did really well in our class and came in at the front of the field which is great.

- The shepparton barstaff need to realise that fiddy is not a replacement for the word fifty unless you are a nigro rapper.

- SAU events rock, we get so much track time and have so much fun and the motokhanas are much better than some of the dutton ones!

- EVO's are cheater cars.

- Big thanks to Bec and Min for carrying all our crap around, go team SAU Support crew!

- I don't want to think about Dutton again until March next year because i'm too tired.

Thats about it from me.

what happened to the times at Sandown ? Was there a problem with the car?

They claimed it had no pull in 4th and 5th gear????

I thought i easily did a 1:24 as it felt real quick. But i think the 1.5bar meant that combination of dead rear tyres and shagged diff meant i was slow onto the straights and only did a 1:27 :) Now that the event is behind me ive got the sh1ts i didnt get the diff into the car in time :)

And Scotsmans was too lazy to remove my wheels and adjust my handbrake....like he had better things to do :)

ahhh it all makes sense now!!! One of the Gibson Cars?

Yep, it will be so cool if there are 3 GTS-Rs out there :no:

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

Yeh, im knackered. I dont think i could have done a 4th day. Did you bag the sub 1:30 you were chasing? But more importantly, did you have Top Gun pumping whilst the camera was in the car :(

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
