G'day guys!


Been getting a lot of inquiries about when we are going up so we think it's time!

Location:  3 - 13 Stockyard Place, West Gosford    

 

Time:  11:00 am

*** Anyone interested there will also be a cruise up Old Pac to the Museum. Departure time 9:30 am from Thornleigh McDonald's *** 

 

For those of you not already drooling over all the pictures popping up of the cars on display there are hundreds of cars of numerous makes and models ranging from the Ferrari F40 to Ford XY GT-HO to Porsche 959! 

 

This is definitely a family friendly event so please bring along the kids.

There is food and drinks available at (outside) the Museum with some awesome burgers!

Now lets show them what we have as part of SAU NSW!

 

 

This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

 

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to:

• Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
• Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should.
• Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.

• Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

 

Cheers guys and hope to see you there!

Sorry Guys, my choices today are finish my racing sim rig or come outside and play.  Well, the rig is getting the vote. Plus will give me some time to work on my car too.

Have fun!

Umair, these were taken a couple of weeks before...
I hope these are acceptable.

The original Ferrari official colour (believe it or not) was yellow.

 

Those neon lights in the above pic, were supplied by Herman Urriola on contract to the Museum's owner. Some might remember him as the CEO of Envy Imports at Brookvale, where SAU.NSW held a Dyno Day back in 2007.

In a conversation with Herman recently, he says that he is still owed quite a bit of money for his work. :(

I forget whether it's the rods or the cones that became saturated with "red" in this place.

Why oh why did I want an MGB (as my first car) when I was 20?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
