Hey Guys, just got the heads up that Extreme Horsepower promotions has been sold to Geof (former owner of EMTECH automotive).

This means the Extreme Horsepower Show is in for some BIG changes!! There is a new show coming to Adelaide real soon... in fact its scheduled for December 8/9 .

This will be held at wayville showgrounds and is open to ALL categories, such as high-tech, imports, hot rods, bikes, muscle, euro ... you name it.

Judging will be done by the ENTRANTS! .. Each entrant gets a sheet and can score every vehicle on show.(Not just one or two biased pricks that only like monaros!)

Cost is $60 per car includes two tickets and BBQ. Entrants also get FREE DYNO!!

Club displays are limited to six cars only.... so who is keen??

This should be great... now we won't be snubbed for having late model cars and will be elligible for plenty of award categories!!

Contact Shane on 0411475779 or Geof on 0410356356

Extreme Horsepower, South Australia's Ultimate Automotive Expo.

Thanks for the post Hostile, you got most of it correct, confirmed Wayville Showgrounds date of Dec 8 & 9 2007 today, judging by entrants & prizes for that too - no bias, the best car will win, free dyno - is there a Skyline with more power than some of the V8s - I reckon there are. Yes, I want the Hi Tech cars there too, in the past it was more of a V8 show - that is changing.

I am trying to limit the clubs to 6 cars as the public want to see the best a club has to offer. Would you pay $15 to see a car with some mags & window tint? If anybody has any ideas of what they want to see in a show please let me know, I'm commited to making it a good event. Did you know it's the only SA owned carshow at Wayville.

Looking forward to receiving your input.

Cheers

club entrants only 6 aloud? dats abit gay though?

Well not really... how interesting would it be looking at 25 nearly stock commodores? This has been done to keep the quality up. Pick six quality cars to represent the club instead, however Geof may be open to negotiate here??

Oh, have updated first post... entry is $60 not $50 as previously stated.

Sounds like some good changes. Entrant judging will definitely put a new spin on things.

Is the show still going to be called "extreme horsepower"?

If so, them IMO I don't care how good a car looks - if it has a stock engine it doesn't belong there.

As both Geof Hostile said, I do get sick of seeing 20 cars at a show that have a set of wheels, lowered with tinted windows at a car show (and paying for the priviledge) - you see thet on the street every day.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
