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:

*shitty 1mg phone picture*

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

Otacon

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.

    • 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.
