Well, we had our first official event, and it was fantatsic, we had an excellent turnout of about 20 cars entered, wide variety of skylines, as well.. from an R31 coupe to a 700bhp GTR.

A huge thanks to everyone who attended, and its great to see things are starting to pick up for skylines australia.

To check out some of our results check this thread

Hopefully some of the other states can follow our lead and get some events underway and show that SAU will be strong, calder park raceway was pleased at the support we had!

Again, Thanks all!

nobody told us we were meant to meet afterwards.

:D

In fact, nobody (including the Calder staff) had a clue about anything...

We weren't told until about 1:30 that we shouldn't have been sitting where everyone was sitting...

that the area was for 'drivers only' (shouldnt the drivers be in their cars??)

People who were with us were refused access to the infield, and told that they were only allowed into particular areas, and that was only if they had purple pit crew bands.

I ended up giving my purple band to someone so they could get back in.

There was no burnout comp which was a disappointment....

I vote that if we do this again, we do it at Heathcote. :uh-huh:

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
