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!

was that some dudes behind SAU? Yeah.. me and trdz decided to drown them out with our own bass, and they gave us a wtf look LOL

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.

these are the pics i have collected so far of my car (on my myspace) http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...;albumId=914159

If anyone has more, please let me know banana.gif

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
