Not surprise you'd write a bad review considering you intended not to like SCS in the first place therefor not giving it a chance...

For me that DID enter I found it an enjoyable day - caught up with mates from other car clubs, met people and caught up with fellow SAU-ers. Plenty of nice cars there to check out and plenty of crowd from what I could see - definitely more cars and more people than this year's AutoSalon. Got some good shots too - will have em up shortly.

SCS is not my prefference. I don't like the scissor doors and 22" Vault chrome rims on WRX's. Just my opinion mate. As I said, I enjoyed the Skylines down there and the other tough cars (Steve's S13 and PureSX 180) but, overall, it was a poor blatant copy of AJD just smaller crowds and smaller amount of cars on show. Having some tool cranking music out of his car at the show while sitting in the car giving people the "Look at me, I'm so tough" look isn't cool.

Just my opinion - there's plently others who hate/love the show. Everyone on here is entitled to their own opinion on the show. Even if I entered the show, I would have posted the exact same opinion.

Just like Autosalon - it's a love/hate show.

So all in all disapointed?? Im just sussing some pics out atm and doesn't look like to bad a turnout!!

How was the cop situation today?? No defecting of cars in the carparks or anything???

Cops on horses, cops on bikes circling Jetty road and apparently a defect station was setup just past the oval later in the day!

Yeah it was either those dudes or the ones next to him.. i wasn't sure who's car it was coming from. But they all turned around and gave me and trdz a death stare at the same time.. it was rather intimidating LOL

Anyhow, we showed SAU +1 for sound-offs lol

We seriously needed more cars in the display.... if we had 16 or so like we did last year then we'd literally have taken up an entire row :P

Phu's RX8 was tasty, and Bruce's widebody S15's awesome too.. but the RX7's were porn man!

Yes its your opinion - but what I was getting it was your had that opinion from the start - sure the cars/crowd may not be as much as AJD(not sure wasnt there, Tiesto cocnert in VIC ftw!) but is it SCS's fault for people going around bad mouthing the show from the start and preventing people from entering? Same with the bling bling chromies and scissors doors - not my cup of tea either but you tend to get that at any car shows and the doof doof - people do that at car shows - livens up the atmosphere.

There was still a descent amount of entrants and spectators for me to go there with an open mind as usual and make an enjoyable day out of it :P

Oh yeah, there's no doubt it wasn't a decent day out! But yeah, SCS has attracted alot of negative comments and opinions.

It's worth it for what it is, though - and that's a free display of mostly tough cars! I think it's great that there's no entry fee or anything for the spectators.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
