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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
