Yeah come on Gazelle, you're more than welcome to your own opinion of these cars, but there was and still is a massive public consensus that the AU was the ugliest piece of **** to ever grace Broadmeadows. Ford did something very right with the BA Falcon. VN Commodore was also the most aerodynamic, fastest and best selling Commodore. Not to mention how many VN styling/design cues were retained in later models due to their success and reception from the public. How was it not an improvement on the VL? The only thing the VL had going for it was a relatively bulletproof engine, which in itself was nothing special until the past decade when aftermarket tuners decided the extra displacement and backwards compatability with other Nissan engines/parts gave it a good foundations for the drag strip.

Nice one

:)

Here are some photos I took. Forgot to take my tripod, so had a tough time trying to get some good pics. Basti probably has better pics.

Overall was a very good turn out. Nice to be back in the SAU scene again - and nice to see some new faces :)

i didn't say it was ugly, infact i agree the ba is better looking then a au. but you missed my point.

Not all newer model's are better in EVERY WAY shape and form. my opinions are based on personal experience's, likes and dislikes, and i'm still not going to start a argument on the net so stop trying to push my buttons.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
