also remembering that the first 200 cars also recieve entrant plaques so best to be in early

thanks again

i understand by reading this thred that you guys are not keen on commodores im just a bit dissapointed

that you guys slag them off its your choice i know

but they did put in as much effort as you guys to pull all those cars together on the day

looks like some wires have been crossed there were a few commodore clubs there it was the bigger one that won top club as for the top new age bike he isnt part of our OFF YA ROCKER team at all

anyway that said you guys did put on a great display and the pic's of the after photo shoot look great

well done thanks for your support

we hope to see you all and maybe more next year 2 defend that trophy of yours and maybe even go 1 better

cheers dave

I think we all love our cars, even if we do slag on Holdens/Fords sometimes, most of us hold high respect and appreciate the amount of blood, sweat and tears that goes into some of the cars, its a passion of all things cars/bikes, and a common ground for all involved, we do find some things funny but to each his own style of mods?. its not about pleasing everone, but enjoying the time showing it off. it doesn't mean the car isn't a show piece and prized possession of that person.

without these events we don't have the opportunity to show off out skills in modifying cars and talk with other car lovers in a laid back location without hassle from police. I know at least 16 Skyline owners would say , they loved the show and would most likely attend next years event without question. ? I'd like to say a personal thank you for a great show with lots of cars to enjoy , and it was a nice to meet you on the way out with a kind hand shake to all attending.

ps.hell if I had enough cash a old vette, camaro, or AC cobra would be a toy for the show, someday maybe?. they cost so much in oz, being from USA I would rank your shows one of the better ones in my many years and look forward to next year.

thanks again for a great day out,,,,lots of sun..lol

Regards

Troy and SAU attendees

Well done to all you guys and awsome you got the runner up award for best display and Miss New Age. I will post up the link to my photos later on after making them a lil smaller from my camera. Next year I will enter my car instead of having it on the outside of the grass in view of the display =)

Dave I had debates with one of your photographers I think it was last year about the V8s against Me liking rotors.. and it only continued this year because I owned a skyline instead of a holden lol. Think it just comes down to personal choice of car and going to too many car shows and seeing a holden or ford with rims and a personalised plate and it taking out awards. (not saying your event)

i thought the quality of cars was pretty good, what i thought was best though was the sheer varity of rides with muscle cars, hot rods, bikes and imports

there were a few cars that just seemed pretty average. But if they want to help keep the price down for us and they get a kick out of entering then im happy to have them there. it aint hard to left foot right foot past the cars your not interested in.

call me strange but 1 of the 1s i thought was pretty funky there was the v8 dato. looked a lil ruff on the outside but man what a sleeper :ph34r:

thanks Troy, you covered all bases there bud.

That custom looks like a BBC Venom.....same swingarm as my bike.......nice.

EDIT: LOL, just had a closer look and noticed he's got the same billett wheels as my bike....they're called PAB (Punk Ass Bitch) and only available in LA.

The back wheel started it's life in a CNC as a 500 pound block of alloy and finished up at approx 20 pounds.......probably in the CNC for 2 days lol.

to hell with your skylines, those black rx7's are win.

Dave ,I was think more like the black FD RX7 twins, the promo model,the landcruiser ute, and the black harley..lol

now that would fill a garage nicely..hahaha

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
