Was at the "Midwest Show & Shine" last week with the V all clean and shiney looking like a million bucks.

I had it in the category "Best Asian Import" and i was BEATEN by a 350Z (first) and a AURION!!!! (second)

When in Hell did these cars become Asian imports?

and yes they are made OS but so is every car in Oz save some fords and some holdens.

This category was for cars with import badges.

Not happy

Yeah the dyno broke down. It was giving bad readings so they stopped. Mine was the last car on the dyno and pulled 220rwkw.

So i didn't get to claim another win.

I might have to get a dyno tune down in Perth and go in a comp in Perth.

I makes me sick that some guy/girl thinks they can enter "best Asian import" with their Aurion and even sicker that the clown judges (that we payed for from Perth) didn't even know what an import is!!! :):huh::D

220rwkw is pretty good. What mods have you got Paul?

i think the dyno was giving incorrect readings so i doubt 220rws. its possible but ALOT of work and i think pauls last run made 17Xrwkws with pulleys, spacer, z tube popchargers, exhaust. ill let him clarify but if hes really pulling 220rwkws NA i really wanna know what hes running :huh:

220rwkw is insanely good!! :D

Pulled 173rwkw this weekend. Have got a Stillen airbox, Z tube, V+ Plenum spacer and HFC. So, as the others are asking - what mods are you running?

I think it's time for me to get my car chipped (and add more mods). Now I don't feel so great about pulling 173 :/

Hey guys i only got that because the dyno was broken. My last run working run was 191 and i was hoping for 194kw but the dyno was giving wrong readings e.g. this girls crewman last pulled just over 300rwkw but this time it pulled over 400rwkw with no extra mods. So they shut the dyno down.

here is a video of the first car on the dyno which i think was the reason it started to fail.

my mods are:

Pop charger with Z tube

Plenum spacer

Grounding kit

Extrators

Light weight underdrive pulleys

Next is Camshaft and then a Dyno tune Want to break that 200kw mark :(

Definately not the way it should be...but these kind of weird decision making things happen.

At Perth Autosalon 2010, our car club plus two others full of mild and wild done-up cars entered and lost the main prize of "Best Car Club" to a bunch of Holdens and Fords with air bags and neons.

Yeah, probably when comparing all the cars they displayed, etc. Maybe I was just jealous I wanted a Jap spec cars to win it. :(

Interesting you bring up heavily modded Commodores/Falcons.

I was the lone V35 representative up at Powercruise this weekend (Barbagallo). The cars there were simply unreal. HSVs/FPVs, classic aussie/american muscle, a lot of s13-s15s and r32-r34 Skylines and even a few Euro heavyweights. However, amidst the company of such highly modified machines, my V35 with mere aftermarket rims pulled A LOT of attention. Had people asking me what the hell it was, if they could sit in it, if they could look under the hood, few taking pictures and even a couple of people wanting to come for a ride around the track. I was actually really surprised even though they're getting more common, there's still a huge number of people who've never seen one before.

I took much pleasure basking in all the attention. :rofl:

That being said, I think U guys (Victor,xtc and Paul) should have taken the prize away from the modified locals. Oh well, we know ours looks a million bux so that's what counts :(

Have you got a copy of the rules anywhere?

Fair enough I'd be unimpressed at the Aurion getting a showing (since it's manufactured in Australia), but a 350Z is an "Asian Import". I don't see anything in the title requiring the competitor car to be a grey Asian import.

and yes they are made OS but so is every car in Oz save some fords and some holdens.

But they're not all made in Asia, so BMWs, Mercs, etc wouldn't have been in your category.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
