Melburne Autosalon 2007

[DNGRUS]

yupp ill let u all know on tuesday when i get it checked and dyno'd again elswhere, thnx ppl

[R31Nismoid]

The dyno was sus... same story every year!

Its there are a comparo. So across the board all cars are equal based on it.

The guys that run it, Mainline, have done so for the past 2 years... if not 3.

I've stood beside them each year aswell. Well, all except for this year as im not working for Cabin's Melb show this time around...

They are certianly not fudging figures or altering settings car-to-car.

thats for sure, the guy who drove my car forgot to switch on my high boost lol

even when i told him to do it

[bluey33]

I dont know much bout dyno readings at all which is why i say suss... Cause i dont know, but i thought the correction was set the same? Has to do with the temperature, pressure and humidity of the air. But on ferahs reading one time it was .99 and other it was 2ish... I am prob wrong but I'd like to know if it effects it differently anyhow. R31Nismoid im sure u would know. u seem to know your stuff.

Thats my reasoning of saying suss. Im not saying it was wrong.

[R31Nismoid]

Im not up with the latest gear from Mainline to be hoenst, but i dont think they use a lot of correction. Not like if you were using DD "shootout" which does all sorts of things.

.99/2 could have been any number of settings. If i was familiar with the Mainline gear i'd be able to tell you. Maybe if Sam see's this he might know as he uses one.

Could have been ramp rates, all sorts of things. Things that might need to be changed depending on the car thats being run as dynos are not a "one setting suits all" type of thing due to many factors.

[bluey33]

Ok cheers... Just wondered why it changed and like u said

Ah well...

It looked good =] IMO, best skyline there.

Pitty no GT-Rs though. Where were they this year? or does melbourne have few GT-R's?

(my first Melb Autosalon, wouldn't know )

[R31Nismoid]

Melb has heaps of GTR's

SAU-Vic wasnt there, and thats usually the main contingent of GTRs.

There are a few others that are usually there, that were not (about 3 off the top of my head)

[bluey33]

Anyone know if SAU are going to be in semi finals in november?

I hope so.

[Leewah]

SAU-Vic should have a stand at Semi Finals.

We used to do the May show when there was only one but it turned out to be a bit too much to organise so we made an executive decision to put all our efforts into Semi Finals which tends to be a bigger show anyway.

Expressions of interest will go up around late August or early September to work out some ideas on what the SAU-Vic will entail.

[bluey33]

thanks Leewah. Great news!

[R31Nismoid]

SIF there wont be a stand leewang.

Yo know it as much as i do.

Plus its the only time my anyone see's my car LOL

[DNGRUS]

Thanks, but i dnt think its all that, i liked the blue r32 with the r34 front, that was more like the best skyline there

(btw does IMO stand for in my opinion lol...sorry its just a guess )

[bluey33]

I was a big fan of the blue 32 that went on dyno at end of day 2.

It was neat.

[Modena]

Yeah I spoke to the guy in the above blue r32... he did engine swap from r33... he was from Sydney.

[DNGRUS]

That car was so clean!

[STATUS]

also the car audio distributers seemed to give it a miss due to rediculous costs for doing displays but will still do semi's though

yeah its more about lining pockets than promoting aussie skill. Shame its dying off as 5-6 years ago it was great and suppliers were willing to pnmp in heaps of cash i know we budgeted over 40k for autosalon over a year but we forever got burned by the organisers as well as our associate companies (audio). I hear the organisation has changed but once bitten twice shy....... and as sad as it is i would now probaly rather divert the funds to summernats and shit like that.
