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?

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
