Can someone tell me if it is or isnt the long weekend. Just trying to plan our engagment party around SAS. Sad i know. :nyaanyaa:

Random question: Is there any other GTR's other than ours?

ummm...... yes......*

most likely... don't wanna get shot if your alone!

So, I'm sticking my hand up to organize the hotel stay for the weekend.

All those years entering with various clubs in my native Melbourne, Autosalon was never about taking home trophies, it was about having safe CBD parking and getting shit faced with promo gangers from the show night after night.

Any takers?

Actually I really hope I have the car ready for this as I'm pretty sure it'd be what you guys want. Probably won't have the new engine done by then but hopefully all the cosmetics will be sorted and it'll look like a really mean street/track car

OoOOoooOO i didnt realise it was at fox studios.. thought it was at homebush again!..

ok yeah.. hotel room would be good matt

If enough people are up for this, no shit i would be too... But I swear to god, I'm not ending up like last time... I actually begged a mate for a lift home at like 1PM... I left him my keys and just hoped for the best :no:

Turned out well...

Anyway... rooms... info... booze... women... These are all important points that must be addressed...

yeah i'll bring mine down...

Means ive got a short time frame for my lil mods list

Need somewhere to shack up otherwise im camping in the wagon. Need a buddy pass too.

Be an individual for once in your lives...

I think I will be taking the forms again, I'm not sure if Paul has a fax machine... and deposit the money into the SAU bank account... please put as much info on there as possible, SAU username, what event it is for etc... it's hard to keep track sometimes... and please write in the thread when you have deposited the money too :)

ok, big update to be made tomorrow, in the mean time, i need everybody's phone numbers.

Whether you choose to message or call me or PM me, it is your choice.

There are a few things i need to mention to everyone that is 110% all in for June's show.

My number is 0403 954 613.

Becareful as i rarely answer private numbers - so if you wish, leave a message and i'll get back to you.

ALL I CAN SAY NOW IS THAT I HAVE AN INSANE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENTER THIS SHOW!!

Nah, you would be surprised how many people we either have fall out or something like that... We had I think 3 paid entrants have to pull out... that was 2 weeks before the show I think... we still have over 2 months :)

Plans change, shit happens... no need to worry about us having a massive display yet :yes:

Just a note to all intending of being part of our display, although this seams off-putting,

ONCE THE MONEY HAS BEEN SENT IN BULK TO AUTOSALON - IF YOU PULL OUT IT WILL BE YOUR LOSS AS THE MONEY CANNOT BE REFUNDED.

I thought that was rather important!

    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
    • Very cool, see what I did there? 🥲 Wild WMI setup, first I've seen where it's on each cylinder runner, usually I see a single jet pre throttle.
