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.

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...

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 :(

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
