^^ well yes surprisingly actually.

Last year we had a healthy display of around 10 - 12 cars and won trophies.

There were also a stack of people whinging coz they werent invited... where are they now??

Good work anyway guys to try and get something organised... next time I will be in too.

Im here, what do you want from me? to put the Aristo in?? Sorry already laughed at that idea before, Dan(sinista) was "whinging" also but he's in Afghan fighting "our war"!! but sorry people, you burn your bridges the first time, dont expect others to come running now when they couldnt the first time,

Wheres the 10-12 cars you had last year?? Oh same place that the "whingers" are........

If that shit happened and we were a "proper club" then id say there would be alot of people walking out of the club, its the only fair and proper way to do things!

Just common sense i would have thought!!

Dont worry guys and girls theres always another 5 car shows in a year you can do, OR start organizing for next year now, so you will deffinatly have the numbers.......

We always had a strong group of 5 cars, and others such as Flick who were willing to help organise/support.

We stumbled when we reqired a 6th car to confirm it would enter.

Considering SAU's long history of piss week excuses for not attending shows/cruises, confirming the 6th car was essential. There are always those who say they would like to enter, should be ready, almost definite, etc.. and some MAY have made it, but the rules state a minimum of 6.

lol another reason as to why we aren't a car club or cannot commit to events is coz there is way too much whinging/bitching, i might as well go join a year 9 home ec class, theres probably less whinging there. :D teaspoon of cement for all.

From my observation, the organisers changed their minds more often than the 'undecisive' entrants.

Blame the entrants if you want, but the fact remains that I was indeed intending to join in, but had to forewarn you about the timing surrounding a body kit fitment. I thought I was doing the right thing, but myself and others got labelled 'undecisive' because of it, and I for one took offence. Especially when decisions were made and unmade before the close off date. After the on again, off again, on again, off again thread, another was started (this one) and suddenly its back on again! So before you label us undecisive and uncommited try to organise it a bit better from your end next time. :D

I get more comments about the Stag on the street than what I would in some show anyway :(

I found it......

I think what he was trying to say is that if the "organizers" didnt pull the pin so early the first time and left it until the last possible date then it might have been a different story, people DO have other things to do apart from Autosalon, so when its cancelled others may have made other plans, these things happen!!

FFS IF YOU REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO BE IN AUTOSALON YOU COULD GO IN BY YOURSELF, unless of course you do need someone to hold your hand!!

the payments where due on the 25th.

we had to be a yes or no answer by then.

shane and guy, organised the FINAL OPPORTUNITY for entry at sundays meeting, and yet, all we got was the same 5 definates.

its like 3 weeks away....so how are we pulling the pin early?

dont bother to answer if your gonna try and be some funny flamin mongrel.

Wasnt doing that at all mate, just pointing out what he was talking about!!

Look these things happen, not everyone can do everything SAU does, like cruising every week or second week, bowling, car shows, dinners!! Some people do have a life out of the interwebs, Its just the way it is!!

what are we talking about again ? :(

there is really no point in discussing this aby further imo.

there will be no display this year, end of story, blame whoever you feel, doesnt bother me, or the other organisers.

we will see what happens next year, maybe we should try the ''selection method''

make people feel special ha ha....

:D

Nah simple just offer it out to whoever wants in, do it early enough for people to save up(if they need) and if there is too many people interested(with a decent amount of time to organize) then either have a vote or do the ol first in best dressed....... Simple i would have thought, gives EVERYONE that wants to be apart of it a chance, not just "this is how it is, and this is who is in because we say so"

But yes this is Sooooooo last year....... :D

Autosalon 08.

Coming up again on August 9-10 .

Anyone organising anything for this??

No SAU this year, not enough interest, Sorry.

ok, all who are definately in please pm 4door sleeper (sorry didnt catch ya name).

we obviously have alot of interest, just not sure what to do with it, im sure flick is still willing to give us a hand with organising.

PM NOW!

PLEASE ALSO BE ADVISED THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR PAYMENTS/ENTRIES IN BY JULY 25TH

OTHER WISE THE ENTRANT FEE IS DOUBLED! cost per car in club display is $90 BEFORE 25TH JULY.

obviously we will haved to budget a little higher than that, for flooring/lighting etc.

Meeting last night went well,

SAU will have a display in this years autosalon

Not to late for others to join though if they have been holding off.

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

THIS YEARS SAU DISPLAY AT AUTOSALON

HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO LATE

WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT STILL HAS TO BE DONE

TO MAKE A DECENT DISPLAY.

THIS WAS A COMBINED DECISION BY THE ORGANISERS.

SORRY TO ALL THAT WHERE LOOKING FORWORD TO IT.

THANKS.

CRAIG, GUY AND FLICK.

And continued in this thread ...

This is the new thread for the people that want to go in or help with the display of Autosalon 2008 . This is not for the wingers or the my car is not good enough or i have to get a part painted or it cost to much people this is for the people who want to do it for the fun of it .....So if you are one of those people please reply if not move on

There will NOT be an SAU display this year, we only managed to get 5 confirmed entries today, so the plug has been pulled.

Thanks to those who were willing to enter and either attended the meeting or let me know in advance they couldnt make it.

Considering you guys were giving us until the 25th July. Then you squeeze us for numbers, but keep pulling the plug throughout the call up. Then proceed to insult us by calling us uncommitted. Whatever happened to getting entries and fees to you by 25th July? Quit insulting us and we might be enthusiastic to enter. How about you guys show us some commitment by giving us until the 25th to enter, then we'll show you some commitment. You've canceled this 3 times on us now, despite having 10 more days to go.

I'm still keen on entering the Auto Salon. Am I entering as a single ($90) entry, or do you want that 6th person? :P

Peace :laugh:

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
