That time of year folks... and for once... i must say ive left the Exhibition Centre in a reasonable state (and hour) :(

The stand setup/design this year is (in my opinion) the BEST SAU-Vic has put on :)

You will see what i mean if you come down and check it out.

For once, i actually understand the theme by looking at the stand lol!

Everyones cars also look bloody sensational too i might add, some cars have scrubbed up extremely well which is good to see members taking pride in thier ride!!!

So come down, support your club and checkout the sensational efforts people have put in.

Everyone will be there through-out the days.

We are located next to the Alpline Stereo business stand, and very close to the Dyno aswell so you cant miss us

Cheers! ;)

Ash

hey i was there earlier on - met and had a great chat with Turbo X too - Gday mate, top bloke~!

SAU stand looks awesome, very nice variety of cars and nice theme also!

Look out for me, i'm in the chasers stand amongst all the *drools* GTR's and EVOS

They've got some good stuff happening this year - drift RC, lots of home entertainment concepts and wicked driving simulators too. Only shit thing is that the DYNO section has been moved to the back corner only allowing one grand stand as a viewing platform. Rumuor is there's a 500kw+ GTR lurking somewhere too

Hope to see many ppl there over the weekend

cheers!

Ended up leaving around 2100 which was a good time to leave. The stand is looking ace and I'm really happy with the way it's turned out.

Thanks to everyone who's put in a big effort to get us to where we are now. All we have to do is make it through the weekend...

RH9 is there again sporting a nice T88-GK rather than the 3542s of previous years. Expecting to see well over 750awkw from that.

just got back from it. i got bored after 45 mins though..

wasn't too bad. got photos of some girlies which was good. lol

Nice meeting you ash and the other boys ( forgot your names.. my bad)

What a weekend, im really stuffed so this will be brief and highly inaccurate no doubt :D

Few points.

- We took a runner up trophy for best club theme (i think)

- Stand looked absolutely brilliant, theme was great

- Everyone helped out, and we were packed up and outta there by 7:15pm, a new SAU record lol!

- Plenty of knackered units today after fun and games of the weekend

- Work pagers/oncall sucks teh donkeh nuts.

- Promo chicks - they rocked!!! No complaining all weekend, simply brilliant

- Some other clubs went ALL out (didnt expect that), so we'll have to step up another gear

- I've already been running over some ideas for '08 (some exceptionally outlandish... but i think we need to go beyond for '08)

- Im really tired, need sleep, wont have much of a voice tomorrow

No doubt the pics will flow over the next 3-4 days and this thread will fast become 56k - NOT friendly ;)

Probably the most entertaining MAS i've attended in a few years.

God Dammit!! I'm a truely busted unit!

SAU-Vic definitely put on it's best show yet. As Ash mentioned, we won a trophy for Best Club Theme (runner up) but given that clubs like Allure put in a truely massive effort, they were well deserved winners.

Thank you so much to our models (Sandra, Kate, Fiona, Kayla, Ang and Lauren (dissappointed by Julie not being able to make it but oh well)) for putting a huge effort in supporting and promoting SAU-Vic. You did us proud! ;)

We hope that everyone who entered had a good weekend and enjoyed their MAS experience.

Next big show will the Australian GP in March so keep your eye out for details. We're definitely going to be representing there as usual and if you think this weekend was fun, you won't know what hit you when the GP comes round! :D

I'll put photos up this week for all to see.

Off to beddy byes now.

Twas a great weekend! My ears are still ringing form the deafening drone of doof doof and scream of external gates! That's what you get when you are positioned near car install stands and the dyno.......

The theme worked great, and the last minute marque was awesome too! Thanks to the guy who bought that? Who was that anyways????

Good to see so many well presented cars. Much interest was raised by the old skool falcon and the flutter wagon. Handbags car snatched (hehehe I said snatched) a runners-up award for something or other, perhaps the fat kit award or something. Pity it had issue on the dyno with it's last run a sobering 215kw.... Just a tad under the 360 it made previously. Hope it's not too bad Newts.

Thanks to all the SAU crew who added the show too. Was an absolute blast. Thanks.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
