Sau Vic 2007 Annual Show N Shine & Xmas Party - Wrap Up & Results


Recommended Posts

A fantastic day saw a great turnout to the annual SAU VIC Show N Shine and Xmas Party for 2007.

Car attendance well over the 45+ mark saw a wide range of skylines (and non skylines) for a great day of cars and people.

These days are aimed at our members showing off their cars on an autosalon outdoors style display with a free BBQ.

Located in the lovely banks of the yarra river just near alexander parade gives the club plently of exposure and onlookers.

Members enjoyed a free lunch provided by the club and were able to display their cars for voting awards and great prizes.

Those who attended were also offered discount vouchers at one of SAU VIC's selected premier workshops, so if you missed out then you missed some great deals!!!

Entry for members was free and there were no costs involved, so next year be sure you are there to be in it!!!

Prizes and Awards:

Trophies and a $240 Centreline Suspension voucher (valid for parts and labour) will be awarded for "Best in Show" in the following main categories:

• Godzilla class (32, 33, 34 GT-R) - Best overall GTR

• Godzuki class (31, 32, 33, 34 GTS/GTT) - Best overall GTS/GTT

• WRC class (WRX, Evo)

• Dorifto class (Silvia platform)

• Intruder class (other)

& there will also be trophies, a 12 month suscription to Unique Cars (value $80) and an SAU polo shirt awarded to the winner each of the below:

• Godzilla class (32, 33, 34 GT-R) - one each for 32GTR, 33GTR, 34 GTR

• Godzuki class (31, 32, 33, 34 GTS/GTT) - one each for 31, 32, 33, 34 GTS/GTT

There was a great variety of cars on display throughout the day.

This ranged from a standard GTST skyline to full track spec GTR's with all the nice goodies.

Members also got to check out the latest in the Evolution Lancer spec, a 1cm off the ground HR32 GTST, a hot GTR R34 with a psycho chamelion paint job and a fully restored BNR32 Aus spec GTR.

Special thanks to our sponsors Centreline for sponsoring this event and donating the fantastic prizes!

Photos & Results will be posted here when they are finalised and sorted.

Please post any comments & feedback here also as we are keen to hear what you the members thought of this event.

:D :D

Turned out to be a great day, being my first time at a show n shine it was great to meet new faces along with fantastic rides. Thanks to the organizers for a great event. Perfect location for a relaxing day. Ive taken a couple photos of the day which ill post up asap. Itll be great to see other peoples shots of the day. Cant wait to see the results :D

Cheers,

Steve.

It was a good day and there were plenty of nice skylines around.

I've got a few photo's but I'm sure everyone else has them too :D

Do people blank out the number plates before putting the photo's up? I don't like having my plates on public forums.

Oh, I didn't really get to meet anyone because everyone seemed to be in some sort-of group and I didn't really know anyone.

I'll have to ask my questions on the forums and email.

Does anyone know what motorsport events are coming up that are relevant to a non-CAMS licensed beginner?

Thanks to all the SAU committee for giving up their time to run the day, especially Chris on the BBQ - the Tong Master! :D those chilli sausages were tasty!

Was a nice relaxed day out in the sun, always good to catch up with the regulars. Numbers seemed less than last year.. but was great to see everyone's cars looking mint, met a few new club members as well.

I took heaappps of photos which I will post up a selection of soon. Those final inspection detailing jobs look sensational - ronin's doors were like mirrors! Catch everyone at the final meeting on Dec 18th :D

Great day, awesome group of people, and good weather; made for a fantastic BBQ/SnS. Big thanks to Min and Chris for their efforts, and the rest of the SAU committee.

Only down side: My car wasn't ready to make an appearance :D

Great day indeed. Was good to come along, join up and meet a few people. I've not long moved interstate from Newcastle NSW so its great to make new friends that also have a healthy interest for Skylines. I was a bit rude (shy?) and didn't introduce myself too much yesterday but I was the guy in the 33 GTR (Midnight purple) with the chrome work equip rims. Looking foreward to attending more events and meeting more people.

^ hey mate (daniel with the black R34), hot, hot rims!! lucky to get them with the car. If you ever want to fix em up 100%, Craig @ colorurmags.com.au (something like that) is your man :D

have fun modding your car! See Damian @ Final Inspection if you want to get it detailed :D

thanks you people for the day it was good to catch up, and meet some of the members.

as for the BBQ nice work, but damn did the chill sausages go quick....i only got one

PS. the drive way into the PARK!!!!!! i nearly lost my front bar!!!!! i had to reverse my way out when i was leaving, i saw some people looking they must of been thinking '' WTF is this guy doing"

cheers THANKS FOR THE DAY!

hey ak_stylez, will send you a voucher with your new member pack this week.. you probably left before I managed to hand them out :(

Anyone else that didn't get one on sat, send me a PM

Nice turnout on sat & some very nice looking cars.. :/

Cheers!

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
