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.

they were pretty modded up victor thats why they won. and yerh i had a feeling 220rwkw was an error. and regarding to place powis st should be fine.

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.

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
