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.

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.

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?

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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
