some useful information i received via email today

Just a couple of points I want everyone to be aware of this year relating to entries being submitted:

1. Photo's are required. Please send via email and include your details.

2. All entrants including clubs MUST have flooring to be eligible for judging.

3. All entrants must be registered and in the show by 10:00pm when lockdown will occur and disqualifications may apply after this time.

4. No private competitor regardless of being in Pro or Expert Class is allowed to actively promote a business by way of printed material, regardless of what sponsorship deals they have. In order to promote a business, either the competitor on behalf of the business or the business itself, will have to reach a trade agreement with Auto Salon.

Just quietly Craig, it doesnt just double, it goes to about $250 ish per person instead of $80. That info is from the Autosalon application form

$250 :D f**k! For $80, I might be keen to enter the Stagea ... but not $250. What are the other 'hidden' extras?

So those with (for example) a BoostWorx sticker on the back window are not allowed? Thats a bit harsh.

sulking id say.

he said '' you can find someone else for A.S, cos im out'' during that whole ''ban'' thingy

so i did. and guess what, IT LOOKS 10 X BETTER!

Figures :)

it says printed material. so you could have said stickers on your car, but no business flyers

im sure they would be more understanding with ''tuned by'' stickers. well i hope so any way!

ruby, would be good to have the stag in there!

the only hidden costs will be flooring etc when devided by 7 of us = f**k all.

if it was specifically for flyers then it should have said that, however it is saying printed material, which can mean stickers, business cards, flyers, banners etc.

as it does not specify exactly what printed material is then we can only assume it includes any sort of printed material as mentioned above.

Hmm, reckon I could have the $80 before the 25th deadline.

Biggest problem is I got a trip interstate coming up and I'm swapping my Days kit for a Dolphin kit. If it doesn't fit just right (FMIC and all) and doesn't get colour matched quickly, the Stagea won't be presentable for the show.

Take me in as a very serious "maybe". So where do I get the application form from? I'm sure its been said, but I'm feeling lazy tonight. :P

DUE TO LACK OF COMMITTMENT, INTEREST AND PEOPLE PULLING OUT,

THIS YEARS SAU DISPLAY AT AUTOSALON

THIS WAS A COMBINED DECISION BY THE ORGANISERS.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
