Good work, Doof, in getting it all up and running, and to Jay for securing the lighting and sound rigs for use on the display!

Good work on the effort of ALL the people who took part in it - the cars attracted a lot of attention and good publicity for the club and forums, and quite a few membership forms were handed out as well.

It was good to catch up with "Xmetal" Ian, "NXTIME" Charlie, "~Jay~", and "Zilch*" Steven, and it was nice to meet Che "Bakes" and Marian. ALL of the cars looked great, but Marian's car is scarily clean!

Finally, congratulations on the team for taking out the awards for Best Club Display and Best Club Performance!!!

good shit doof, but i didn't see your car there?????

nope, mine wasn't there... I have some damage done by an uninsured driver that kinda made it rather ugly to look at. I'm buying up the parts needed to fix it now :D

Hopefully, it should be in the next one, but I would like to get as many high powered lines there as possible.

700 photos here to sift through, I shit you not. Just finished dumping them to the XHD, i'll start editing tomorrow.

I'll post a link to the gallery soon.

What a weekend! i'll write a full blurb when i'm not half asleep. :D

The lighting was awesome man, great exposure. Heard some great feedback by some of the attendee's. Didnt tell them i was with the Club, told them after i asked them what they thought.. "Professional" & "The real Enthusiasts".

Well thats all i needed to hear :D

>.< lost the USB cable for my N96 and Camera -.- .. left them at my mates place, will upload pics when i get that back.

*waits for Xmetal's pics*

Had a great time, was really good meeting Ian, Bakes, Marijan, Charlie and Carl. Sorry if I missed someone.

Big thanks to Doof and Jay for doing the ground work on this, and I'll definitely be back for the next one if they'll let me..

Someone has to represent the GTS-Ts!! :( Oh and I won't work during the nights that the event is on next time, thank god for Red Bull/Samedi/*V* etc

Also I have to say that I think Marijan was rather hard done by in the best engine bay award category, the 2 cars that won were pushed from their stands and then trailered home.. Surely they should have to be engine bays that work??

Congrats to everyone from SAU!

It was an awesome setup!

You guys deserve the wins!

Im absolutely shocked! The level of Autosalon gets higher and higher everytime I go! Its mind blowing!

Good to see a few more performance based cars around too!

I can't say that that the show cars and bling blong is my scene, but its important to know about, see and experience everything the modified car scene has to offer!

It was a MASSIVE change going from Autosalon on Saturday where every little millimeter of car har was clean, polished, shiney and showy and then on Sunday going to a drift day :(

But for me I think I prefer the ghetto-ness and boro style of drifting. Any day of the week id prefer to be out drifting than spectating at a show.

It was great to catch up with Doof and the boys, well done on the quality of the cars and display guys, it really looked proffesional (especially the fake wood floor)... Also sorry if I ditched you on Saturday night :) I cant help being so popular, everybody wants a bit of Mick :)

Cheers!

Hehe, I think it helped that the Nur spec still had it's race stickers and semi slicks on from Bathurst :P

Big ups for the lighting and most of that gear has to go to ~Jay~ really, he loves doing the shows and he really knows his shit :)

Another thing I think people enjoyed was the volume of our music... you could only hear it if you were standing at our stand looking at it, not 300 feet away! Even though our gear was rated for around 500 people...

You still fell asleep in the car... I thought that was supposed to be my job :P

And yeah, he was really hard done by... It's a bit rough when a car with an unfinished engine bay wins best engine bay... You can't win best car if it's in a pile of pieces...

Mick, always good to see you and the missus :)

My Saturday night was interesting enough without you :P

Hehe, I think it helped that the Nur spec still had it's race stickers and semi slicks on from Bathurst :)

He always has semis on that car Steve :) It's all he buys for it.

Oh and I only sat in my car cos the bright lights were affecting my tired eyes and I wasn't napping for long! You try working Thursday night till 3:30am, getting up at 9am to start prepping the car till it's time to take her to the show, getting to bed about 3am and getting up at 8am Saturday for the 1st day of the show. Staying at the show all day then going home and working from 7 till 4am, then getting up at 8am again to get back out to the show :) We'll see how awake you are then... endrant LOL :(

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
