Just letting you all know that in order to prevent "slip ups" with behavior, I will be making a registry of all vehicles attending (Make, model, No. plate, etc.) We DO NOT want any negative type of attention as this goes against everything that the club stands for.

We are car enthusiasts out for a night of pizza and conversation and not to have mini races on the way there.. or to see how much rubber we can burn.

You are now aware, fun will be had, but on the right side of the law.

Thank you all in advance.

i think ill make this my first SAU cruise, so count me in.

Quick question, if i was to buy a CB , what should i be looking for, Brands? Functions? etc.

well ultimately you'd want one that can receive and transmit...

look for above 1W if you want anyone else to hear you outher than your passenger...

um.. don't pay more than $100

Ebay is the best place to get it, IMO

Jaycar sell CBs and such, if I was buying a cheap one that's where I'd go. :P

For my 21st my parents gave me a Icom IC-41S. It is 5W and has more functions I can poke multiple sticks at, but I use it for work, when I go camping and on cruises... it gets a fair work out. Retails at $399 (which I only just found out, I'm really not worth that much lol) and is apparently very popular in mines and industrial applications. It's also made in Japan, always a plus :P. Realistically, this is very much overkill for what I need, but it does the job and will last ages, especially since it has a metal shell under the plastic to protect it from any would be epic dropage from great hights/speeds.

(good thing my plates are random and hard to remember... and my car is a sleeper... burnouts here i come!)

hahahaha i hope thats a joke steve, plates dont stand out, massive black wing doesnt stand out on a white car, awesome backfire when you are shifting down..... (still inlove with your car, can i touch her exhaust holes????? or mabey her head lights???)

nah i got a couple of unidens for christmas as a kid for me and my brother to be idiots with in the bush, they meant to be 0.5watts and rated for 3km distance but we can talk to each other from castle hill to north parramatta (both on hills) and straight line distance would be atleast 8 km's, but this was in the days that things wrent made in china and uniden is a pretty good brand,,, im sure they pretty cheap now, like $50 or something..... cb's are good though, when driving and my gf is following me and someone is being a dickhead to her she radios me and i cause them trouble lol....

also im not sure if its correct but there are a few repeater stations around sydney and the can amplify your message (well thats what i understand) so in the past i have spoken to people in bankstown when im in castle hill, not reliable but does happen

depends on your budget and how often you use it....

SATANIC n crew are now out due to technical issues... video documenting reason will be uploaded on Youtube tomorrow. Minor set back only, but nonetheless one that keeps us away from this event.

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
