did anyone take pics of anything else other than the sau cars :)

There wasnt a 'lot' there IMO.

S15's seem to be the latest car of choice, there were heaps of them there this year and lots of Jap/Euro cars, not a lot of Aussie made cars like past years (VLs/Blown commo's etc etc)

Its a lot of the same cars/same people now and has been for the past 3 years.

There were some good new cars around without a doubt, all the big $$$ show cars are generally different every year.

But its more the mid-level cars (which there are heaps of) that is exactly the same since '04.

One car won best wheel innovation or something, but he's had the same wheels on the car for 2-3 years now, and won that award a few times i think.

Bit silly as its hardly 'innovative' if its the same as last time :P

Thats just my thoughts anyhow. There was still enough new/fresh stuff to keep me happy!

the theme was road works. The whole display had black plastic laid over the floor. There was some white tape applied to simulate a road. There was speed humps, witches hats and other assorted road signs around the display.

wow cheers man, nice picture of my car there!

Do you have a bigger version? :wave:

Yeah, but not exactly sure which GTS4?

Let me know and I will do a page like KJ's with full size on www.Nissan-Skyline-Turbo.com

You guys did an awesome job with the club stand :)

I had just enough spare time to spend the saturday afternoon at 'chatau de skyline' and I had a fantastic time!

Wasn't too interested in the rest of the rice around, come to think of it, the quality of the cars there were pretty average, but the quality of the promo ladies (inc those saucy SAU ones :wave: ) was fantastic!

Overall I give the day 4.5 stars out of 5 with SAU present, if SAU weren't there, it would be more like 2 out of 5 stars :laugh:

Special mention goes out to the Allure girls too - great stand.

First Autosalon I actually enjoyed.

I would say Friday night was the best.

So who actually won the club display?

Conrates 2 Allure!

We (melbs15.com) won best club performance! None of us dont know what that was judged on? But were happy! :wave:

Hi guys,

I am one on the Autosalon event crew....the guy with the ponytail, who was guiding cars to and from the dyno.

Anyway, great show and good spot SAU got as well. But for the red r32 and silver r33 or r32 to park horizontal....hmm..I reckon should have parked on an angle even though many other people do that as well. Horizontal is good but you don't get to get a good look at the front as well. The Red r32 had no problem there...just the silver one.

And SAU did pretty good on the dyno as well. Spewing i didn't film them. Hard to take photos and work at the same time. The only photos I took were before and after the show when it was closed to the public.

The only video i did get was the RH9's GTR r34 clocking at 724.8kw on sunday and ESP's Supra, that stuffed up on sunday, getting around 448kw. (saturday it did 669kw). Though i stuffed up as well. Sound was turned off on my camera so just the video it is :-(

Anyway, here are some pics of other skylines there and that 669kw Supra with fatass Garrett turbo. I will let the SAU team send photos of their cars.

(these have been resized...i still have hi-res on home comp)

See you in April next year for the next Autosalon.

Cheers

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

can ayone lead me to some pics of this car? bay preferably.

G,day guys... I was over from adelaide with PURESX the blue 180 for the weekend.

I thought it was a good show, lots of nice 'lines there too. Personal fave was the blue nismo S1 R34 and of course who didn't like the RH9 car!?.

Was good to chat to Leewah and see some of your local cars... keep it up guys...

cheers, M.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
