So, Chants and I were talking last night and she thought that since there's a lot of great photos, we could make an SAU calendar using them. Who would buy one?

Also, Mike has come up with a wicked cruise for Jan around Australia Day. Details to be released soon ;)

shouldnt matter if an engine bay is stock or modified,should be judged on how tidy it is,well thats my opinion anyway. :yes:

So modified because stock engine bays are too cluttered.

Not to take anything away from the winner. BUT the blue LS1( or was it an LS2) conversion was clean as

It was one of the ones that was very close to winning. There were about 4 or 5 that were very close but Reflectors looked like he had spent about a week cleaning under there as well as having a very neat set up and that edged him in front.

Whew finally got a chance to jump on, some nice pics floating around!!

Thanks again Exec, you did a tops job :thanks:

eeeeexactly. There were a TONNE of tidy engine bays, but it's friggin hard to keep a modded engine bay clean AND neat after changing stuff around. Every wire was neatly tucked away, every line was secured, and even the zip ties were clean.

I'm a bit pissed that we didn't win best interior. I mean, when do empty iced coffee bottles, woolies receipts and a 2008 destroyed street directory NOT make something better?? All I can think is that the judge was just jelly.

Great day, I got lazy and only took some photos at the first meeting spot (was bloody HOT!!! too much Car Porn)

Nice shots! I'm so glad you got a pic of that silver 32 with the HKS rb28, but sad he didn't come the whole way. I would have LOVED to stare at thing a bit more.

Mind if I steal the last pic for my files?

was a great day, nice route and wasnt expecting Best Overall award, all the time spent tidying things up payed off. ^ I tried to save some of those pics, but flickr wouldnt let me :(

I've replied to your PM re: laps in the R35 as part of your prize :)

I was REALLY impressed with that conversion. It was definitely a beautiful set up and sounded the piece on the road too. Great to cruise from southside with the R34 LS2 and the R33 LS1.

Haha, there's more cleaning to do - if I had more time I would have spent another few hours doing the underside of the bonnet. Until the motor comes out, it's all hand polishing and TLC for that engine bay. Edited by Reflector

The fact that you hand polish it is a great start. Some of us haven't cleaned it since... errm... yeah.. :P

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
