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

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!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
