You guys still don't get it? Its about diversity.... If we all did the same mods that would be very boring.

I personally don't like chromies or kits or whitewalls but that doesn't mean they should be excluded from shows.

Talbo and steve you are entitled to your opinions also but don't kid yourself that you speak on behalf of the whole scene... clearly you don't.

It comes down to an individuals INTERPRETATION... and who has that right?

see i think most people dont buy into this diversity shit anymore. using that logic, any mod, as distasteful and horrid as it may be, can be classed as a 'different style'. plain and simple, people ruin cars by having no taste. saying its just not to our taste is like saying aids is not to our liking coz we arnt gay. aids is aids, crap mods are crap mods.

And being gay is the only way you get aids right?

The next show will be real interesting with a whole row of S13's modded exactly the same as yours... you don't have to like it but you don't have the right to exclude them either... meh, my two cents.

Well my R32 Gtr got knocked back aswell there wont be a second time .

Haven't we already discussed this one before Shane?

Did you not receive anything or did you actually receive a rejection letter? We had numerous glitches with our emails updating to a new online form system this year, it would more likely be that we may not have even received the application than anything else. You're more than welcome to bring your car back if you want to in 2010, it would've been definitely let in this year if we had our sh*t together.

Just to clarify a few things, having selection criteria for AJD is no different to what Auto Salon does. Try putting an unpainted unfinished project in Auto Salon and see how far you get.

The original purpose for the show was to provide a place where people could admire cars that are good original condition, or builds in progress, or works of engineering, etc etc and generally chat to each other, rather than roping off their cars and stressing about people touching their air-brushed diffs. We had a V8-powered Landcruiser covered in dirt and mud tyres etc etc sitting alongside the Wheelworx S15 track car, sitting alongside an original Isuzu Bellett, and all were admired for different reasons by the people that were there.

The reason for rejecting "sex-spec" cars is because Auto Salon already caters for them, pure and simple. We wanted to target a different market, and get back to the old-school style of car shows when it was about the cars rather than the show.

In the end, it DOES come down to interpretation, that's the beauty of running your own car show - if people don't agree with our selection, they will vote with their feet, that's fine, entry for spectators is free anyway. We're planning to run 5 events across Australia next year though, so I think the concept still has legs :devil:

see heres the difference, no one is telling people HOW TO mods their cars, they are telling people HOW NOT TO modify their cars.

i dont think ive ever said for people to copy me, in fact i usually deter people who head down a similar path as my car styling. there are so many tough silvia's world wide that look nothing like my car. the above comment is so crazy my head will implode if i further try to debate it.

rather than roping off their cars and stressing about people touching their air-brushed diffs.

air brushing a diff..

and people being able to touch it..

but yet having it roped off..

oh the hillarity!

:devil:

We have submitted a wreaked R32 GTR to autosalon in our SAU display one year to show what can happen in motorsport..It was a crowd pleaser as everyone likes to look at carnage

So what show are you starting?

I miss SCS..Was a cool show and I even got in Hot4's mag there one year! :devil:

Been going here for a couple of years, but we're planning to expand it for 2010. More details soon :P

Cool...Thanks for the link!

If NSW goes ahead and I am sure a few of the SAUNSW peeps will get on board to help and enter ..of course :devil:

Who cares if people tell you how not to modify your car.... its YOUR CAR, you own it not everyone else. If they like doing those things to their cars let em. They work hard to pay for those mods so leave em be.

Move on with your life

Maybe you should go back and re-read what I actually posted :devil:

f**k who cares?

You wanna get into AJD. Copy all the ns.com fitment queens or go build a drift car and smack the tires abit.

You wanna get into Autosalon. Put leather and tvs in your engine bay and have 24x7" rims.

Simple, both shows cater for different aspects of the modified car scene and not every single car is going to be able to go to both.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
