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

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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
