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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
