S A U - Act Cruise To The 2013 Nationals In S.a ?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

If your not a Mushroom you would know by now that the SAU Nationals 2013 is being held in South Australia this year.

It's a bit of a trip but reward yourself and take some well earned time off work and make the Journey.

I encourage you all to consider as these are AWESOME events. Much fun during the days and shenanigans in the evenings.

A number of us ACT peeps represented @ Shepparton Vic in 2011 and Goulbourn NSW in 2012.

Best opportunity to meet the rest of the Skyline community and have some unforgettable times.

This year the organisers have done great and organised BULK accommodation. Meaning everyone can stay at the one venue.

Yes I'll be going and I'll be driving the GTR.

Bit of a Nostalga trip also. Haven't been to S.A for about 25yrs.

Grew up in a number of places in SA from Semaphore, Port Adelaide, Smithfield plains to Inverbrackie up in the Hills. (Army brat)

Got my first tatt on Hindley street near Rundle Mall ! (ye old eagle - lol).

I'm going to go for a beer at Eagle on the Hill too. Never be the same as the original.

I remember the Dukebox and Astroids/PACman/Frogger table game, bucket of hot chips and a fire engine :)

Small stone pub and had to duck to get through the doorways. Awesome old pub.

Even tried tipping the soccer bus over on Devils Elbow when single lane and it turned in on itself.

No, a bit far out. Just seeking ACT interest at the moment.

Also want to see when NSW crew may cruise past and see if it suits.

Will plan with Kyle and any others and see how we lock in with each others thinking.

Accommodation will be the first thing locked in/down.

I hate the Hay plains so much I can't even tell you how many times I've done that freaking trip.

I wish I could go and have the GTR in my old stomping grounds (I grew up in Adelaide) however too close to my US trip in November.

Look forward to seeing pics and footage, will be an epic convoy!

I can take your car for you!!!

I too have done hay plains one to many times (every year for the past 21 years)

not sure if ill drive or tow yet. will see what happens. if i tow it gives the advantage of having more space + if (when) someone breaks something/has a problem we could shuffle their car onto the trailer. something to think about i spose

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
