Duncan, do you have a pic of your r32? we could show the wide variety of skylines, from street, to race

Yes a model would be nice :D

Stagea would be ok! After all it has an RB in it......

Lets organise this sooner rather than later

Some might want to be careful entering your cars into these types of events. A lot of car enthusiats do see your car - and a portion of those people would be the kind to steal cars etc. I imagine a few cars get stolen and stripped after shady types get to see exactly whats under the bonnet at these types of shows. Maybe removing your plates for the event would be a good idea? Just so people dont recognise it when it's parked at a local shopping centre or whatever. Some people may argue that this is one of the reasons that you mod your car (so others can admire it) - but you have to ask yourself if they are the kind of people you want admiration from!

Call me paranoid, but I don't think it's worth the 'glory'. :P

wats the problem? you cant use a phone?

i dont see wats so hard about getting the people together filling out the forms and waiting till the date to take ur cars down

Yep got it in one. I cannot use a phone :P

Well when I went to the site to have a look, it was says show booked out. Thats why I emailed them... Meh

Chris/AMS, I wouldn't mind putting my Stagea up there with yours, but I probably still won't have made any mods to it, going by the short time any money spends in my bank account before I can even consider spending it on the car. I would have at least liked to have lowered it with one of SK's kits (or similar), and maybe thrown some nice wheels on. Then again, I could leave the standard wheels on to contrast against your car, too.

But having the car displayed also means not driving it for a few days... ;) Ah, well, I guess if this goes ahead and I add my car to the SAU stand, then I'll just deal with it.

I'll most likely take my plates off though, maybe get some dummy ones made up for display purposes.

Cheers,

Nick T.

right on my man. i leave my car in the garage for this very reason. why drive it when someone will spot my plates and track me down you know. :(

be good to see some skyline bling at the autosalon. good luck guys.

As far as number plates go, we could all get fake plates made up in the same style as car makers use for their new models, simply with "SAU" on them??

Theyre quite cheap aswel

Good Idea

Autosalon got back to me today

Hi

Do apologise for the late reply Chris, I just returned to the office today.

Anyway... Trade Stand is design for anyone who wishes to promote their business and for that please contact our Sales Department. Club display is for any competitor who wishes to promote their club... you can have banners.... T-shirts.. so long none of the text or printing contains any business who sponsored the club.

To be a club you must have a minimum of 6 cars...

Attached is an entry form for the Sydney and Newcastle show

Now how do I go about uploading the entry forms? :D

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
