I'm just going to make a final statement on this.

This issue is a mountain out of a mole hill. No one has indicated they will be displaying a non skyline/skyline related model to date. Those that have been mentioned as having other cars are displaying with other clubs that they belong to or attending in a spectator capacity.

I've been disappointed in the fact a majority of SAU have apparently been over ruled regarding SAU displays by those who do not, or can not support the SAU displays. To gain support some have tried to confuse the issue of the entire wheels event with the SAU display or tried to say people with other types of cars are not welcome in SAU. I think the majority have seen through this deception.

We have seen all sorts of suggestions from skylines only to:

Including any car in the display

Including any car as long as its not lined up with the skylines

Include any car as long as the non skylines are on the outsides of the display

Include any car as long as they don't out number skylines

Include any car as long as there's only a few non skylines

etc etc etc etc.............................

As I stated in the first post, I don't care what the outcome is I'll organise to get a spot for SAU. What I do care about is the vocal minority who don't actually support an event, overruling the quiet majority. In fact it pisses me off.

To give some perspective to what some of these suggestions can lead too....My parter has a rusty shit box, she attends more events then the majority of the people posting here and if we go with "any car" then she wants the rusty shit box to take centre stage. She's earned it by attending SAU events, organising drinks etc and attending early events to get things organised so the majority of SAU can enjoy the day. How dare anyone say she can't park where she wants.

But I'm being too silly, in fact I'm quite willing to let anyone of the people who disagree with me or anyone else for that matter organise our attendance at Wheels. Most of the information is in the post regarding the event and half the work is done already. I'm quite happy and willing to assist anyone if they are willing to take on the responsibility of running the day for SAU.

Could you be any more melodramatic??? *hands you a tissue*

This thread was all about those to have an opinion but regardless of the numbers up the top, if there are other people that feel the same way as you have then they've let you down by also not speaking up.

Have other people that have voiced opinions not been involved in any events? I see Hill climb people, people that have attended the dyno day, people that attend cruises.

It's a big call to say the "majority of SAU have been overruled" if they think that don't you think they'll speak up for themselves?

I am really disappointed that I can't make the wheels event however I have to leave Canberra for an engagement party of a friend that I've known for most of my life.

Yes there may be no non Skylines on the day but what this all comes down to is if that ignorant statement hadn't been made at the start there may have been no issue at all.

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
