Howdy folks :)

Been doing a lot of planning behind the scenes for this one, and it's going to be pretty big :P

We have lined up a few rather high powered skylines so we can show all the Hondas and candy paint jobs what cars are really for, and we just need a few more entrants!

Last entry, we won 2 awards and every one had a great weekend! We hope to better that this time around!

If you have a high powered car, and would like to be part of the SAU:NSW Auto Salon High Horsepower entry, then let me know either in here or via PM.

Also, please remember that SAU isn't formally about glitz and glamour. You don't need an over the top showcar to enter with us. If you have pride in your car and it's a nice clean example of the vehicle we all love so much, then don't be afraid to throw your name in the hat. The car that got the most interest at our stand was Beer Barons 07 R32 GTR that was rebuilt to standard :) second was probably the 550kw V35 :(

There isn't long to decide, so sorry for putting you under the crunch, but there is only until NEXT FRIDAY (7/11) to get your entry forms in. The entry form is attached on this post. The number to fax the form off to will be given to you once you tell me a little bit about your car (pictures help) :)

SO... that being said, I can't wait to see who is interested in the show this year ;)

anyway i'll be there to vote for the sau boys there on the day, cant wait

Doof, would mine make the cut?

Would be for display only if I entered as its only putting out 240 AWKW.

Final battle next year, It should be putting out >300 AWKW once I replace the turbos,etc.

Let me know If you would like mine on the stand this show caue Ill have to start convincing the missus now :)

Doof, I was speaking with Steve-o about a mate who was interested a while ago.

Spoke to him today and unfortunately he has done a crank bearing, after only 1000k's.

He's doing it all again and should be ready by then, but he won't run it on the dyno. Not confident it will be tuned in time.

Interested?

The car is completely rebuilt/trimmed down to pretty much every rubber, with 450kw motor, big single.

Yah, I remember that. I was counting on him to put some numbers down for us, but if he doesn't want to blow the engine at a show (understandable) then he doesn't have to run on the dyno either. I would definately love the car there though :(

what about yours? I heard you were interested too :(

Yeah I was, But i think I'm doing Bathurst that weekend.

I'll get him a form this week, as will probably see him Thurs/Fri

It would definately cut the mustard :)

I'm only going to be putting our highest hitters on the dyno. At Final Battle, all the high powered cars from the shows in the other states are invited back for one last round, so there are a LOT of high horsepowered cars there, and they get first preference on the dyno. So it's not a problem at all if you don't want it on the dyno :(

When is it??

How much do we have to pay to enter as a club? What about a stock car, they still ok to enter :D

For this club, the price is $170. It says $120 on the form, but there is a sort of 'forced donation' to help cover the costs (which there are a lot of). The money goes into paying for power and the hiring of lights, TVs, sound system and a display, so it all goes back to you :)

Some stock cars are fine to enter, as long as it is clean and tidy through out :(

I'll update the first post today if I get some spare time with the info I missed so the same questions aren't asked twice.

No worries, there are a few people choosing Bathurst over the show :(

To be honest, even I was thinking about it :blush:

same as earlier in the year, we had a drift day on the same day and I thought about ducking out and entering...

If he needs any help with the form, let me know... I've done plenty of them :(

any one be interested in getting a group together to go as spectators? I know my car is no where near the salon stage but i would still like to go and would be pretty good if we could get a couple people to go along together to show support for the sau guys as well as chat bout the day afterwards. We could meet up somewhere and take a mini cruise there 9depending on parking avail at venue. anyhoo, if you interested,

For those of you that haven't entered before it is a hoot of a weekend and it's one of those times i'll never forget. $170 is a small price to pay for 2.5 days of fun, girls, cars and other sillyness that you probably won't find anywhere else. I entered in the Sydney round with SAU back in May with a very lightly modded Stagea and it still drew a fair crowd. You do not need a show stopper to enter at all. A clean well looked after car with a few exterior mods such as wheels/lowered/bodykit etc will go a long way.

We also encourage variety in the line up so regardless of whether you own an R32/33/34 or a Stagea, Cefiro or even an R31 you can still enter.

Doofy i'm in for support work. I *should* have my new car by then so i'll be up for logistics work. :P

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
