maybe we should have participation awards for all the losers??

like in kindergarten where you got a ribbon for running regardless of where you finished.

Numpty kid awards? Wouldn't you be the first one to win Liz? :)

Trivia (or maybe not):-

3X people came up to our display and asked about the 21st Anniversary Celebration of Godzilla next year > referred to SAU desk to join up of course... +

1X person asked how much it'd be to hire our cars for a wedding > ie. a run from Mt Pritchard to Liverpool (dejavu eh Nick?).

...told him where to go...LOL

SAUdesk of course.

Hey Terry,is that a thorn on the left of the roses,tee hee. Genelle. Ps was nice to chat to you and your lovely son,and the other lovely young fellas,very nice manners. :)

my highlight of the day was when i found out terry ashwood seen my 1:10 scale RC shell of the winfield GTR and loved it so much that he bought it off me.

Makes me feel kinda proud that i done such a good job on it.

In regards to the Audi winning best Exterior, I can see both Malcolm's and Kevin's sides to the argument. This was a Skyline show, granted, but we did leave it open to other cars to enter, so it was (and may well continue to be, unless the "rules" are changed in the future) an issue if another car wins. But of the very few cars I did look at during the day, I was stunned at the detail in the paintwork on Kevin's A4. Of course, if you didn't get up close to the car, you wouldn't notice it, and it was only after I was alerted to do that that I realised the work that must have gone into it! Perhaps if it was parked more in the sun or was under fluorescent lights would the effect have been more apparent.

Thanks for the comments mate :huh:

If you guys do another show next year and do open it up to Non-Skylines, count me in for sure! I enjoyed the show :D

Thanks mate,,,we all appreciate you enjoyed yourself and all the other really cool comments. Thanks Heaps. Another smile on my dial.

I beleive no other SAU NSW Pres has ever put back to back SnS's on,,,I now know why. That was a killer of massive proportions. Our exec section is as quiet as a mouse at the moment and I'm still getting over it.

Which brings me to address the subject of "Best Exterior". Yes as has been well documented I was the soul judge. This was a non-Skyline only award and I know I picked the best exterior. Doubt me at your will,,,go on I dare you.

What we need to get our heads around is the fact that Skylines Australia NSW is a very small club with a very limited budget,,,When the day comes that we can stand alone and expect entry's of 160 to 200 then we can have a Skylines Only SnS. That day was not 2009 and I doubt 2010 if it happens. We may well have a new commitee by then,,,,AGM voting will be in late May.

The Dartone guys brought some really bloody cool cars and I thank them very much,,,Guys and Gals you have some really cool cars indeed.

Sorry peeps but just how it is.

Neil.

    • Welcome.  800hp should be a bit of weekend fun!
    • I'm going with "Just run two gates". Fix the problem conclusively. It's the only way you'd ever truly know, right?. This is all pretty much splitting hairs. Even the extreme example where it takes two whole seconds at 100kmh or something sounds monstrously dubious. And anyway, when you're punching the throttle when you 'need' this power, you aren't at 2800rpm in the wrong gear. Test it at 5600rpm in 3rd gear, when you're traction limited punching out of a sweeper. Much difference there when you account for traction?
    • And the full R32 GTR wiring diagrams are also freely available. Hmm.... there's supposed to be an auto replace that would have linked the thread. Here it is, manually  
    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
