Event Info:

This day is our official Show N Shine event for the year and will serve as our official Christmas Party for the end of the year.

Last year we ran this event much like a Show N Shine, which is similar to an outdoors Autosalon style day.

Members are free to pur their cars on display and are encouraged to enter them for the Show N Shine.

Only SAU VIC Members will be able to participate in having their car entered into the Show N Shine display.

This event will be advertised to non VIC members to encourage them to come along for a fun and glamours day of sun, cars and people.

Our partner car club WRX will also be invited to come and check out the day and enjoy our cars.

We will also try to gauge some media interest for this event and have our usual talent of photographers onsite for the day.

How To Enter:

Upon entry onto the grounds you will be greeted by one of our Committee members and given directions.

If you wish to have your car in the Show N Shine and be eligible for voting you must notify our team.

You will be given a "Vote for me" sheet to place on your car with your details upon notification.

Prizes and Awards:

Prizes will be awarded for the following categories:

  • Godzilla class (32, 33, 34 GT-R)
  • Godzuki class (32, 33, 34 GTS/GTT)
  • WRC class (WRX, Evo)
  • Dorifto class (Silvia platform)
  • Intruder class (other)

Use of recreational facilities:

The City of Melbourne council have kindly offered us the use of Birrarung Mar for our Show n Shine day.

There are strict guidelines and procedures that must be followed for the club to be given permission to use this location.

As you can see by the location we will be on display to the general public and those out and about on the Sunday.

I also expect we will see a representative or two checking up on things throughout the day to ensure the guidelines are followed.

This means the day must be strictly under direct supervision to ensure we don't break any rules.

The following must be adhered to by all Members attending the day

  • Strictly walking pace for cars along the red marked track.
  • No loud engine revving or compressor nuisance noises.
  • No unwanted behaviour on (or when leaving) the parks grounds.
  • No dumping of rubbish.
  • No driving outside the marked areas in red.

Other: Please note we will have voting boxes open for the end of year SAU VIC awards.

This will be your last chance to cast your vote. You can see the awards and how to vote here

You can post up your interest here and questions you may have.

Just too...

This is a massive coup in getting access to the Birrarung Marr park. No other car club has EVER exhibited here before, so we are very exclusive :ninja:

Will be lots of exposure too - so should be a great day.

So I just show up on the day to put my car on show?

Yes that is correct. Our officials will give you a quick model and member name sheet to fill out which will have your real name, member name on the forums, and car category. This will then be placed on your windscreen in the corner so everyone who wants to vote for your car knows who's car it is and what name to vote for.

Bah - even with a trophy for best red 4-door sedan... I got you beat :)

I'll put your trolley in my boot and there will be no EVO to vote for... :laugh:

I was hoping for best super taxi, and you can have best shopping trolley, deal?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
