As many of you might know we are planning an entry into Perth AutoSalon(PAS) under the banner of SAUWA. We have been able to secure a small location within the Belmont Racecourse facility, we believe enough for about 5 cars, and have been told

that there is as much room for other entries outside as we'd like.

We had a meeting at Brett's(EVL R33) just recently and decided that we'd ask all of SAUWA whether they would like to enter there cars now so that it will give people time to organise themselves. The idea being that people with Show Cars would be given the inside positions so as to make an impressive display.

If we have more than 5 people wishing to enter Show Cars then it would go to a vote of SAUWA to decide who would be allocated those positions.

PAS has a number of events which entrants can participate in, Show and Shine, Dyno Shootout, SPL, Driving Events etc. So even if your car isn't show quality then we'd still encourage people to enter and participate in these other events.

I believe that the cost to enter the cars is $50 and this includes entry and all events. There will be other costs associated with making a decent SAUWA display, and as such those people who enter will be expect to contribute, but we are trying to borrow as much stuff as possible so as to keep costs down. If anyone has anything they would like to lend us for the show it would be much appreciated.

The theme we are trying to go for is a Racing theme, so if anyone has ideas as what we can do then they will be appreciated. We are also trying to get as many of the Skyline models as possible together, from the old Skylines through to the R34GTR. We have been in contact with the SAU guys who entered the MAS(Melbourne Autosalon) and have been given a number of

useful ideas.

Anybody interested in entering please nominate yourselves here.

Thanks Paul

Hey Paul, good to see this has been started.

I'll put my car in the display, either inside or outside depending on what everyone else thinks.. I'll have it tuned by then with the new parts in it so it should be over the 500hp mark. I'm going to try and get the engine painted and polished before then too hopefully..

Brett

We are hoping to have t-shirts made up for all the entrants, similar to what the guys in MAS did. Except change the Melbourne to Perth obviously:D

If there are any companies willing to sponsor us then we'd have there names written on the back.

We will also require some nice looking girls to hand out flyers, have photo's taken etc. They will have a t-shirt with the same logo, just less material:D

If any girls would like to volunteer that would be great, and guys please beg your gf's/Mrs etc to participate:D

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
