Well, as some of you know I was fortunate enough to fly over to the USA for the 2008 SEMA show earlier this month!

After 11 nights in America Im glad to be back on Australian soil but the trip was awesome!! I'll have memories of Vegas, the SEMA show and so much more for many years to come!

I have attached as many photos as I can (I took over 600 pictures) to give you a taste of just how amazing SEMA and Las Vegas are.

Enjoy :P

Very cool. I've started saving to go next year with some friends. Any tips?

You cant get in to SEMA if you arent registered as part of the international automotive trade or media.

Stay at either Caesars Palace or the Belagio, they're the nicest hotels that we went through.

Take as much cash as you can but dont spend any of it on gambling... Vegas is an expensive city!

If youre not taking the missus - make sure that you visit "The Spearmint Rhino Club" - very expensive cover charge and drinks but well worth it :(

Already got that covered.

Accommodation is covered, one of the guys cousins lives close enough and is fine with us crashing at his place.

I'll keep this in mind... especially the "spearmint rhino club".... sounds intriguing!

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
