went with a mate last year for the 1st and last time .. sersiouly there wasn't a single car there to admire. Yeh I missed the dyno shootout but other than that ..most the cars there were fugly ricers with real bad paintjobs. There wasn't a single car where I went zOmG I want something like that...

ok i heard a rumor. now dont quote me but apparently someone new bought tha franchise for autosalon show series and has decide that this year there will only be one autosalon in december then from next year on the normal series will be on but with a new format. aim at decent hight power cars not just all these crap sss pulsars. he want it to be more like tokyo autosalon with high end cars in it.

now that just what i heard not sure if that the case but thats the story im sticking too. :)

Really? You didn't like our 300awkw track Nur Spec? :)

Or the 550rwkw stroked and turboed V35? ;)

Or Bakes beautifully immaculate R34GTR? :devil:

Or Marijans clean, spotless, perfect GT40 equipped 500kw R32 GTR? :devil:

Or Charlies drag spec fully built, lumpy as hell 32? :devil:

Or Zilchs nicely modified, 300kw street bayside blue 33? :devil:

That's a shame...

dont think I saw any of those on there ..I think we came on the final day, 2-3 hours before close so maybe they all already packed up and left :P The 32s and 33s aren't for me ..but I would have spotted Bakes' 34 so he must have left already ..ORRRR maybe i got lost and didn't see all of the cars

SAU shown and shine should be heaps better anyway I reckon, no stupid fees and more relaxed

Yeah we we're some of the last ones out. I drove the Nur out of there that night, and except for a few cars being loaded onto trucks etc, it was the last one to leave... We had a lot to clean up, our set up is larger then most, and we sat down and ate some pizza too :P

I'm assuming you didn't see us.

Wooo good times!

Keommanivong conntinued. "Wee made the ddecision to ddelay our eveents until 20110 because it was

exciting and uniqque entertainnment packaage to the paatrons, but aalso a lucrattive and benneficial

formaat for our spoonsors and cclients" Keommanivong saaid. "Some oof the conceppts we have in the

pipeliine are very exciting, with the new foormat includi ng an evoluttion of our coompetition juudging

regulations. We' re certain iit will be eexactly whatt today's ennthusiast’s ddemand from an

internnational evennt series like ours."

do we plan on inviting other clubs as well for some variety and numbers or will it be exclusive?

I know when we were in the EH Holden club we would have our anual show but also invite other clubs, think even open too public entry, just gave people some other stuff to look at..........but judging was seperate.

pfft autosalon....come to the SAU show n shine instead it will be bigger than Autosalon :whistling:

Late October, stay tuned

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
