As many of you might know we are planning an entry into Perth AutoSalon(PAS) under the banner of SAUWA. We have been able to secure a small location within the Belmont Racecourse facility, we believe enough for about 5 cars, and have been told

that there is as much room for other entries outside as we'd like.

We had a meeting at Brett's(EVL R33) just recently and decided that we'd ask all of SAUWA whether they would like to enter there cars now so that it will give people time to organise themselves. The idea being that people with Show Cars would be given the inside positions so as to make an impressive display.

If we have more than 5 people wishing to enter Show Cars then it would go to a vote of SAUWA to decide who would be allocated those positions.

PAS has a number of events which entrants can participate in, Show and Shine, Dyno Shootout, SPL, Driving Events etc. So even if your car isn't show quality then we'd still encourage people to enter and participate in these other events.

I believe that the cost to enter the cars is $50 and this includes entry and all events. There will be other costs associated with making a decent SAUWA display, and as such those people who enter will be expect to contribute, but we are trying to borrow as much stuff as possible so as to keep costs down. If anyone has anything they would like to lend us for the show it would be much appreciated.

The theme we are trying to go for is a Racing theme, so if anyone has ideas as what we can do then they will be appreciated. We are also trying to get as many of the Skyline models as possible together, from the old Skylines through to the R34GTR. We have been in contact with the SAU guys who entered the MAS(Melbourne Autosalon) and have been given a number of

useful ideas.

Anybody interested in entering please nominate yourselves here.

Thanks Paul

Hey Paul, good to see this has been started.

I'll put my car in the display, either inside or outside depending on what everyone else thinks.. I'll have it tuned by then with the new parts in it so it should be over the 500hp mark. I'm going to try and get the engine painted and polished before then too hopefully..

Brett

We are hoping to have t-shirts made up for all the entrants, similar to what the guys in MAS did. Except change the Melbourne to Perth obviously:D

If there are any companies willing to sponsor us then we'd have there names written on the back.

We will also require some nice looking girls to hand out flyers, have photo's taken etc. They will have a t-shirt with the same logo, just less material:D

If any girls would like to volunteer that would be great, and guys please beg your gf's/Mrs etc to participate:D

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
