The spiritual home of SAU VIC - Benalia - lives strong with all who visit her train station...

This photo was taken on Saturday night:

I think that's 3 years now?

Glorious :miner:

Post up any other photos of our favourite incorrectly spelt town!

Not quite a town name just a funny worded sign found in Thailand whilst on holidays last year gotta love the Engrish

a simple translation to english words are 100% correct apart from the missing letters. When you say it in Thai thats how u say it...there is a lesson for ya.

did i miss something?

Yes you missed a Trip to Benalla to go racing at Winton three years ago where one Mr.Jamezilla changed the name of the town on that particular sign to Benalia. It has never been fixed and still remains as funny as ever.

How was the pondage in Benalia James?

Haha - the pondage was tranquil :)

Until of course, the Brisbzilla awoke and terrorised the locals...

And yes, the GPS we had was an American model. It had all the cities pre-entered, but instead of Benalla - had Benalia.

After a shitload of grog, that seemed hilarious - and the rest is history...

back in the days when the Lada was cool and the Supah telstar ran sidepipe......

For those of you playing at home, Benalia was established on the weekend of Dec 19, 2005. Not to be confused with when team Wang was first founded.

I might have had a hand in changing that sign too :down:

A good mate was going up for a sports event up there about 3 months ago...after I told him what we had done to the sign he sms'd me a pic of it....I think its still in my phone :)

Here we go - Benalia was founded on 16th April, 2005.

Strangely, the Benalla Hoon Law was introduced on the 17th April 2005. Bizzare...

Founding fathers included:

Me, Snowy, Dave (who loves a bit of pork), Brisby, Paris, Ant, Big Bird, Bec, Jesus, Big Al, Tommy G and some guy in a beanie.

Founding monument:

Refreshments - including Paris' weaksauce light beer:

Second visit had upgraded signage:

Famous team SAU vehicles. Gone but never forgotten:

The NE Hotel - home of the Wangbuster (note celebrity Hard Corey in the background):

Happy times... happy times.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
