T'was a good day, and SAU was represented well. At least I thought so. Some selfish douchebag took out the People's Choice Award, and it was of no suprise to anyone that a Supra won the dyno comp, although props to R34power's mate for doing so.

There was a lot of JDM goodness on display, as those that were there will attest to. I enjoyed it. How about everyone else?

yeah he was shocked there was suppose to be a wide body r32 blue that would have beaten him.

I thought that blue Supra might have taken the people's choice.

Bad timing for me. My car is currently not behaving itself and has a few issues that we weren't able to iron out before the day.

Would still like to have gone but our house settlement went through yesterday and unfortunately I had a busy day with that.

i thought you guys failed in your turn out compared to most other days. that said i only got their at 2 (Due to work). was hoping to see alot more skylines out. have a good one guys, stu

I reckon we went OK. For those that showed up at 8.30am, it's an ask to do a full day, yeah? By 1pm, it was starting to wind down, so I'd say you missed the best five hours when you were at work

Musta missed you Jayce :) Good to see R31Nismoid and Mark and Mick and Damo and others out...

I got there when that matt black 180 went on the dyno.

Me and Xmetal got some awesome shots last night too... had a full rig attached to the car, can't wait to see them!

Hi all

Great to see plenty of nice JDM cars on Saturday. Sorry I didn't put my car on, but I've pretty much made a decision that I won't be dynoing my car on any other dyno without one of the ESP boys to oversee the operators. I just don't want to risk any damage to my engine. Plus I don't think I would have beaten the 398 that Nathan put down in his Supra as I think my valve stem seals are on their way out.

I did mention to the guy that was looking after the shownshine that if they run this event again next year that they might consider doing it either 3 weeks before or after this particular date as a lot of owners could be in the middle of playing footy finals and they should also consider having it run on a Sunday as well.

I was a little disappointed with the FD turnout though, maybe they were all changing rotor seals that weekend.... :woot:

Anyways, good to see some nice Skylines there, fingers crossed this event gets bigger and better for us JDM owners.

Cheers

Ross

You see my company car there Shell?

Hey guys,

I've uploaded my photo's to the net but I have some people who are interested in some of the photo's, so I can't post them up here straight away.

If your cluey enough, you could probably find the photos :).

I am obviously of the dumb so I'll just wait till you can post them here :)

Maybe, what's your company car? Should I know this? lol

In and out as quick as i could... 3am sat arrive - 4am mon depart :)

Good to see/meet a few people in my 1hr outing at a car thingo last min notice haha

It being around the corner from my accommodation helped i must admit.

    • 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.
