Hey,

Just thought I'd post up that my car is currently featured in this months (November Issue #154) issue of Performance Imports and I'm stoked!! LOL :D

Just like to thank everyone here on the forums who have helped out, whether it be helping me put the car together or just contributing to the forums with their knowledge. I would literally spend hours trawling the forums for tech info and first hand accounts from everyone and without the extensive SAU database of knowledge, there would be no way I could've built the car up to the point it is now.

I made a special shoutout in the article about the SAU forums so once again, thanks heaps to everyone for making the forums so informative :cheers: I know SAU has a rich history of having member cars being featured in various magazines (and to be honest, some of the cars featured are downright mint compared to mine) so I guess you can add another car to the list :)

Here are the pics from the article so if you guys are interested, grab a copy to read more about it (sorry for dodgy phone pics).

Thanks guys, but I still reckon it's nowhere near as good as some of the ones I've seen featured from SAU (eg. can't remember the name but it's a white 32 GTR built to be a RH9 contender. Somewhere in Queensland I think. Dude also has a 33 GTR too)

Tai1or Made: S2 > S1 hahahahaha :P

Terry: Nah, it was some bloke called Jun I think. I heard about Eric Tang before and wouldn't getting some pics from him, but I heard he heavily digitally alters the photos though?

Mate im sure theres been nicer cars with bugets to much, but you've still got to have a very clear clean paint and panel work for a mag feature.

Very tidy!!!

Sorry Frosty, I never bothered to make a build thread :( I guess it would've come in handy as the car started stock and I've noticed a few people in the FI section ask about top mounting turbos, front facing plenums etc.

That'd be Ben Earl's R32 GTR drag car, built for 1000+ HP and located in Mackay far north QLD. If it is him your talking about, the car is INSANE to watch race and will give you an erection.

Yeah, I think that's the one Seano. Just remembered, the numberplates were something like RBE85 or something? Either way, tough car.

Thanks cul8er, good to hear you're getting a feature too! Looks like SAU has quite a few feature cars floating around :cheers:

Yup + Great way to promote our club

...many thanks to Jason and his staff

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
