Hey guys,

Just got in, hope you guys thought my ride with looking good, i only picked it

up on friday at 5 a'clock so im wrapped that i got it back in time.

braddles.

im guessing u'rs was the 33 with the only SAU stickers on it i was hopeing to chat to you day but missed u due to the dyno.

altho show was below standed. semi we got to put in abig club display. the only 1/2 decent club display was allure and obseive.

trader standes were down. so was the dyno with only one dyno, and the amount of cars.

ill put my pics tomow. the one car i like was a yellow wide body s13 with transferormers stickers on it.

yeh mate, had no front plate. gtr bar. back plate in the front window was lthl.

Was down alot this yr but thats how it is first semi final, we made half an effort

with our stand, got a couple sponsors.. but im not into going all out etc.. was happy

with it, i think people have been getting over salon for yrs.. i just go cause i enjoy

this kinda thing.

went today to offer LTHL some "support"....

as always pretty crappy.. nothing really outstanding.. except for all the fully sick fluro shirts and crazy hairstyles... some people should be shot.

I did like the bikes though.

Went today.. while down melbourne for the weekend.

Must say, was missing cars, no GT-R's. A few GTS-T.

The 180 made a new record. 251kw/ltr.

and overall hp too.

Saw the Supra on the dyno. 726.1KW? I think. Below last years. He made 749KW last year?

STEVEM's S15 was very nice.

The gold plated turbos in the QSR BMW was big. The car took away more then 8 Trophies.

Overall, lacked in girls and cars.

Bike display was low too. There were more parked outside of the centre then inside.

Ah well... see what happens...

Whens the finals?

Saw LTHL's car and looked around for the owner but couldnt find him. Was gonna introduce myself after seeing the SAU stickers.

My fav car was probably a blueish 180. Looked insane. The guy went all out as well. The words 180 and Nissan were all over the car. He even managed to get the word "nissan" in the middle of his subwoofer. Very nice.

Was hoping to see more skylines. Saw both the holder and the supra dyno runs. Pretty damn crazy.

Well the bikes were more than last year, of which there were none :(

So the bikes that were there actually caught my eye quite well.

Was a good addition

Finals are Nov

yeah was my first AS in a couple years and i found the standard was really awesome.

Couple cars that stood out was the

Series 5 RX7 with the supra abflug kit, looked awesome. As well as the ABFlug supra sitting next to it with the airbrushing (tasteful airbrushing)

The baby blue wrx with suicide doors and hydraulics...

And the new Euroline car club made a good impression at the entrance.

Seemed to me a lot less rice and more performance than 2 years ago when I went last.

And the new Euroline car club made a good impression at the entrance.

Euroline Automotive was a trade stand, they do bodykits / custom paint jobs etc..

But yes they had a good set up.

My friends Blue Kitted RX8 was with their stand.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
