Use this one guys :D

Overall, pretty dismal turnout for an awesome location. More so annoying I guess because so many people said the ole "i will come", only not to show face.

Especially when the NDSOC group could get a good 40 odd cars there for a member base that is probably half of what we have.

Otherwise for the cars that were there, it was an awesome day overall. I managed to get sunburnt, so the weather certainly was not terrible :)

Having the NDSOC (and other groups) made it really interesting with lots of carby equipped machinery in pristine condition to checkout.

Good to see a few people both new and old, given the amount of effort that went into organising this, it was overall a great result.

Big thanks to Ash and co. for organising the event. It was a great day, pitty about the turnout though :rolleyes: I guess the crappy weather the day before didn't help.

What were the results anyone?

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one who got SUNBURNT. Imagine that on a day that was forecasted for rain!

As for the rainsayers, yesterday was further evidence that weather rarely lets down an SAU Vic event. I thought it was pretty perfect, overcast with not a drop of rain = shiny cars. Just a shame about the back of my neck, argh it stings! So yeah, pretty disappointing turnout given how many were keen to come at first. And I know the drive in, drive out times seem like an inconvenience...I used to think so too, but the day goes by really quickly and there's plenty of stuff to do at the docklands if you get bored of looking at cars. NDSOC certainly showed us up in the numbers department. They had some very pristine examples which were fun to look at. Still, SAU Vic represent...we still managed to cover some decent lawn and our cars looked pretty good.

lol @ NDSOC's choice of beverage. And lol @ the random who thought it was one of those motorshows where you can sit inside the nur-spec without asking the owner :rolleyes:

Scientist: [resigned] Well, Homer, I guess you're the winner by default.

Homer: Default? Woo hoo! The two sweetest words in the English language: de-fault! De-fault! De-fault!

[assistant clubs him]

Scientist: Where'd you get that, anyway?

Assistant: Sent away.

Thanks for organising it Ash!

Good to see you all again!

Ash you can move my pics for the old thread into here if you want :rolleyes:

Nice panoramic pic Montie :P

i too got burnt :blink:

Roasted :rolleyes::banana: Had some great chats with plenty of people I haven't met including a few from the nissan datsun club :banana:.

Oh and thanks Rob (silver 4-door) for demonstrating R33 gt-r rims on a 32, now i've got the ok to buy buy buy :blink:... she wants a set too now :P

It was a great day overall cheers for everyone who put effort into organising this.

Despite the low attandance the cars that turned up were nice, especially the R34 GTR just mint! Just LOL big time at that dude that jumped into the passenger seat (wonder why not driver's seat instead). Funny he even closed the door... he might be thinking of taking a nap inside or something :rolleyes:.

And yea I got sunburnt too despite the overcast all day.

Thanks To Ash & all The Organizers for organising a great day...DIDNT GET BURNT :rolleyes: .... pays off to be black...lol..weather was perfect for the day and had a good time there...nice pics guys....

Hey all,

Had a nice and enjoyable day in relaxing way, huge thanks to Ash and organisers for securing the awesome location. NDSOC stand have some quite nice Datsuns especially Bronze 260Z.

Met some people and had good chat with some of you.

Pity not enough cars from our end, people do need to drink a cup of concrete and bring them to meets whether it's rain or shine and in right or wrong location/time/etc!

Don't like my chances of winning best R33 GTR as there's 4 others... But I have this awesome gearknob, that could help me win, probably.

Cheers

Grant

p.s. when will we know the results from voting?

Roasted :D:( Had some great chats with plenty of people I haven't met including a few from the nissan datsun club :) .

Oh and thanks Rob (silver 4-door) for demonstrating R33 gt-r rims on a 32, now i've got the ok to buy buy buy :D ... she wants a set too now :D

Dave,

Buy mine!

Buy mine!

Buy mine!

Buy mine!

Also buy my sedan while you're at it...

I didn't get sunburnt and I'm white as.

Thanks heaps Ash for putting this on.

At least it ended up being a rain free event.

to bad we all filled out our voting papers there would have been some competition in the intruder class lol hey chinny!

Well done to the boys with the cameras. niccce.

The day was pretty good all things considered. NDSOC had heaps more cars there last year, even they were a little underwhelmed by the turnout.

CSA were there as well, we were promised 15-20 cars, and we got 7.

Anyone thinking of coming to this next year, but worried about what to do for 6 hours, apart from all being hopeless, there is heaps to do at Docklands, Cosco, plenty of shops, restaurants, so much to do. Get on it next year, it's a fantastic venue and location.

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
