Stacey, why wait for the next Drag Combat? We have monthly dinners, near weekly meetups and cruises, as well as trackdays (Eastern Creek, Wakefield and Oran Park) organised at least once a month!!!

As for a front on shot, how about this one? :P

Oh, and it's not the camera, it's the photographer!!! :cheers::)

:wavey: thanks Merli, great front on shot...........I look very nervous!!!!.

We are planning to come to any of the SAU events, definately not waiting to the next DC.

I have downloaded a SAU membership form............who do I send the form and the $$ to?? Thanks again :wavey:

you can transfer the funds into the SAU bank account.. details are on the form.

or you can include a cheque or money order with your form

to mail your form:

Membership, Skylines Australia NSW

PO Box 75

Collaroy Beach NSW 2097

or if you come to one of the events, I'm sure one of the comitee members can take it from you :cheers:

Errr....

That's the first time I have taken them out however they had 2 passes on a fairly serious XR6T before I bought them.

I was concerned about the reduction in sidewall costing the squat effect of the 50 series however the 5mm less top and bottom seemed to make no difference when accompanied with the extra 30mm/tire width.

245/50/16 60' - 1.697

275/40/16 60' - 1.694

Wear doesn't seem to be too bad considering I drove up and back on them as well. However I scooped and scraped a hard ball of rubber BIGGER than a tennis ball off of the guards!! Will post pics if I get to it.

Adrian

Damn fine pics here guys :):) Merli, what camera is it that you use again?? and did it cost you an arm and leg to buy???

Adrian - what size rims do you have the 275's mounted on?? i wanted some Nitto's for the 200SX but cant find any 8.5/9" rims to fit them on at a decent price.... I know the above rim is probably the best width but if they will fit on a smaller rim it would make it easier i guess......

Deciphered..

good effort 2rismo..

Congratulations Adrian, you pulled some great times and even better burnouts...

and the rest of yas..

Some of the other times were ok too, but in my mother's Charade I think I could chop them silly...

2rismo i herd aboutur crazy mirage from a mate in my tec class

All the lads at the schoolyard are talking about your burnouts, we soaked the carpark in diesel to try and get some of that smokescreen happening, but alas we cannot compare.

crazy canon angles :) ahah

See that girls jugs? Phwoar! That Sarkis reversing gerhl had a set on her too!

Hope I did some justice :D

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
