Great day guys!! Thanks Anthony for organizing it!! All the cars looked great!! :D

I'll have HEAPS of photos on Thursday... I think Gaz filled both memory cards... And Anthony, Jarrad etc we go some good rolling shots through the water front...

General behavior was great, apart from one certain incident... It's things like that that SAU does not need!

Food was good, steak Sanga was just beyoooodiful!!

And Benji, nice work on parking the commodore away from the real cars :P

I saw gaz pointing the camera matt :D sounds good!

Yeah pathetic really. Funny people try an impress others with a bucket when there's something as powerful as Matts an clean as anthonys.

oh well everyone else was great to meet!

It was awesome to see that amount of 34's :D

Good to have a variety show up too.... I was smiling the whole trip home!!! I'm useless with remembering names too, so if I ask again don't be offended :D

Hope they come out good.... All the guys had great cars, pretty sure Gaz even got pics of the drift RC car :P

I'll have a disc with all the pics available from next Thursday, pretty sure Gaz got ALL cars so between the few cameras I'm pretty sure we will all have some good pics to show off :yes:

Yeah no need to show off, we are all here to enjoy our machines and appreciate others, and it looks like SAU Newcastle crew will be an ongoing thing... Looking forward to regular meets too!

Big thumbs up to Anthony once again!! :thumbsup:

A great day and good weather

Was surprised at the number of cars that turned up really didn't think that many were in town

Is good to put faces to names but I am hopeless at remembering names as well

As said food was great and thanks to Anthony for organising the day

Looking forward to pics but would take forever to do some editing on my car

Look forward to the next one.

Thanks guys and girls

Thanks guys, was happy to organise but it was abit of a joint effort with Matt, thanks mate, and everyone else that had input, and of course everyone for showing up, made the day very enjoyable meeting local sau'ers.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
