I stand corrected - just got the e-mai lol.

Auto Salon hosts a HIGH-TECH performance Automotive Show on the Golf Course Fairway (that's right people we're back on the golf course) only metres from the back straight. It's a great weekend for everyone to catch up and a good excuse to check out the race. This year, it falls on the 26th - 29th March.

Its a fantastic opportunity for all us car lovers to bring the Auto Salon Event Series fourth and show what we're all about and we've got to offer. It also gets the year started for all you Victorians as your Auto Salon round won't be back in Melbourne until the 2nd half of the 2009.

All show and shine competitors receive the following:

* One Official Grand Prix 4 day Accreditation Pass

* One General Admission 4 day Pass

* The chance to win one of the 15 trophies awarded in various categories

* It will also allow you to watch 'THE WHOO' concert from the General Admission Area

That's over $350.00 worth of value for less than 1/2 price!!

Entry costs $160 for a private car or $140 if you are a club and have 6 or more cars attending. As a bonus, interstate competitors get discounted entry at $100.00. No matter how you look at it that's a saving and even more reasons to come along.

Cars will need to be at the venue on Wednesday 25th March and must remain at the Auto Salon Stand until Sunday 29th March (7:30pm).

The entry form is attached and due to the short notice we ask you to please fill in and RETURN ASAP to ENSURE PARTICIPATION as there are limited spots available.

SAU-Vic at this stage, wont be attending.

Between the two offers - CAMS/Cabin… they both cannt confirm where the cars will be located.

After the rather 'poor' location leading to cars being covered from nose to tail in brown dust (as they were parked on DIRT)... until the position is actually confirmed as grass, pavement or other suitable area for a car show'n'shine/displace. We've told these two bodies we really are not interested.

Honestly I would never want to put members and their cars in the situation that occurred last year. It was nothing short of appauling.

I dont think its fair to ask people with expensive paint work and so on to park in a dirt area for 4 days.

I believe Cabin have 'said' it will be on the grass like years before... but until I see that in writing we are not going to accept that as things have been 'said' in past years and we know better :)

Hopefully that clarifies the situation a little better for you and the goings on in the background that Bec/myself have been dealing with the last 2 months on/off

Cheers

hmmmm ok lol. ye wouldnt want to park the car in those condition.

so if its confirmed that the display area will be grass or pavement or some where suitable for a show and shine SAU vic will be attending?

Bought a grandstand ticket this year, so definately not putting my car in. Hopefully you guys end up putting some cars in so I have some people to talk shit with (and drink with).

They jacked the price up a bit this year though!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
