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

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
