I have an idea for something that could get alot of us involved in some healthy, fun and light hearted competion...

This is just an idea but I thought that if I posted here and asked for an expression of interest that it might be something cool to do.

Ok enough dribble - Im proposing a yearly awards event that EVERYONE can enter with categories and unbias independant judges (ourselves) to vote on the best car in the ACT (and surrounding areas) in each category...

For example - If you wanted to enter your car in the "best allround R33 Gtst" category, all you would have to do is post which category you wish to enter and at least 2 pics (6 max) of your car aswell as a list of mods, performance figures (no estimations, only true tested figures) and a small rant about why you love your car (you may enter more than one category).

Then, everyone here would get the chance to vote (only once) on each car in each category that they think is the "best".

At the end of the year the Gold, Silver, Bronze and encoragement award will be announced... Keep in mind though that this is ONLY for bragging rights, there are no awards exept for if we can mabye arrange some stickers or award print outs that you can hang on your wall. Shell??

The categories would be for example-

* SAU ACT Grand Champion (most votes in all categories)

* SAU ACT Runner up Grand Champion.

* Best allround R34 GTR.

* Best allround R34 GTT.

* Best allround R34 GT.

* Best allround R33 GTR.

* Best allround R33 GTST.

* Best allround R33 GTS (incl GTS4).

* Best allround R32 GTR.

* Best allround R32 GTST (inlc GTS4).

* Best allround R32 GTS.

* Best allround R31 GT (incl GTS-R, GTS-X and Passage).

* Best allround R31 (Aus domestic market).

* Best allround Non Skyline.

(the following are for Skyline and non Skyline entrants).

* Best Paint scheme.

* Best interior.

* Best Stereo system.

* Best body kit.

* Best choice of wheels.

* Most Bling.

* JDM award (most jap spec).

* Track star award (most track spec).

* Drift king (most drift spec).

* Straight line master award (quickest 1/4 mile ET) **

* Power king (most wheel Kw's) **

* Best budget car??

* Best write off??

** (These catergories may need to be judged as separate Models eg: R32 power king, R33 power king etc.)

As I said, this is just an idea, but hey its something that eveyone can be involved in and we have a whole year to prepare!

Lets have a vote on who would like this to happen for next year...

And Shell, how would we go about getting it set up??? Hehehe :ninja:

Can we have a "longest time off the road/replacing radiator" category so I can enter too? :)

Well, thats not really fair though is it Nick, cos you'd win that hands down. :ninja:

If anyine has an other catagories they would like, then speak up! I know Ive missed some...

We need to know how many people are interested so lets have a show of hands...

Vote - Yes or No

(P.s. If you say no - youre not cool) No pressure. :)

Come on Shell, how do we get this off the ground??

You may have some competition there,pal! :)

Great idea M;happy to lend a hand,judging and all that jazz if needs be...sounds excellent,either way! Can we maybe nominate other peoples' rides,too? I know who get's my 32,33 and 34 GT-R votes already! And I've got some good cars in mind for the Stage' and GTS-T classes,too...

OH YEAH! Stagea's! (Sorry Lesh)

I think that people could nominate, as long as they have the owners permission, but they would still need photo's and specs on the car, if the person who owned the car didnt want it to be "known" then it would be uncool for someone to just go posting up all the info on it.

But if we can arrange a nominations category then that would be cool too!

I'll take thats a yes from you then Jayce?

Yup!

Crappiest stock R33! I need to win something! XD
pffffft I've got that one hands down... stocker rims FTW! :)

Mick- sounds great and i'll do all i can... sorry havent got a brilliant idea to get it off the ground right now though, maybe after christmas we can think about it & how to do it properly..

We'd probably need a seperate thread for each category so I might have to set up a special section or something to keep it organised...

I can do some fancy certificates for sure!

Post Chrissy would be a good thing;this whole Xmas spirit thing sucks the life out of everything else that needs to be done! Bah,humbug!

Speaking of Xmas spirit;where'd I put the Xmas SPIRITS...

pffffft I've got that one hands down... stocker rims FTW!

Curse my aftermarket rims!

A new category then. Most totally awesome near stock silver/grey two tone R33 two door (Nothing like a monopoly!). I'm in! lol... I'll have to pull my finger out and get some money together. Hopefully by this time next year I'll have something worth entering in a few categories.

Awards are all wrong!!!

Best Dummy Spit

Best 'Oh ho, I forgot to tighten that bolt'

Best 'oops!'

Best defect

Best bourbon/bundy/beer regurg

Best 'gay' bit on your car

Best 'I didn't say that.....did I?

Best excuse for trying to get out of a defect/ticket/across the pits reject etc

Best pink shirt [sorry veilside]

Please feel free to add as you see fit.

Gee, thanks for remembering me Mick...

Don't worry about 'best stagea' category, i'll be the only entrant. i'll just get thrown in with the 'best non-skyline' and give it a nudge with the cefiro's, laurel's, cima's, silvia's, fairlady's, 350's, GTi-R's, Maxima's, Pulsars, X-trails, Navara's, Patrols, Micra's & Tiida's... oh and the old datsuns.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
