As posted on the CC forums : Got home this afternoon after a long weekend up in Sydney. Headed up on Saturday at 7am. Went to Autosalon both days and was really awesome this year. Got in free cause work deals with the major sponsors for it so that was a plus.

Fewer cars than last year but quality has definately increased. Was well set out this year too, but lacking beatboxing/breakdancing that I really enjoyed last year. Next year will play host to modified late-model motorcycles, plus ATV's and the like, also motocross as well; which should make it a bit different for next year.

Saw Erica's beast and highly approve, is one nice subie. Also watched Stacey's DirtGarage 32 GTR on the Dyno.

As for the dyno, Nasa's black Supra built by Millenium Motorsport took out 1st in the dyno comp, pulling 610.2 rwkw. BOOBE Supra pulled 503 rwkw. A decent 355 stroker VR ute with a T51R pulled 544 rwkw. Daniel's gold ESP racing Supra managed about 470rwkw at best, he popped an intercooler pipe off on one of his first runs but had it fixed shortly after.

Took about 350 pictures and videos and will try to post them up soon.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
