Sorry to hijack,

Why not make it the Sunday? The forcast is 17 and sunny.

Plus off memory they open the race course centre circle for parking. That area gets very boggy.

Heaps of cars where getting stuck a couple of year ago when it rained at the Melbourne show.

are we still headin in if its raining, or are they displayin all the cars in that big building they got there...does anyone know?
good question :thumbsup:

just looked at the map on the autosalon website looks like theres a building there, did a zoom in on google maps and there was a building where they had shaded in the autosalon stand on there site

There should be undergound / cover parking at showgrounds..?

yeah wasnt too much worried bout parking just if bits of the display were outside wount want to get wet, but i think i cleared it up by lookin on there site should be in that building, dunno if anyone went to motorvate earlier on in the year but looks like autosalon are gonna use the same building

we have had this planed for a while now dont think we would be changing days, some ppl have had to change shifts etc to get to this meet.. sorry buddy

yeah fair point

but i did go on autosalon website just before they must have updated there event page with a map cos haven't seen it there last i looked

but where they had shaded on map "display area for autosalon" i checked nearby streets n mapped it on Google maps and zoomed in on satellite mode and it showed a building there

so i think we should be good long as we get close parking which cant be too hard cos were leaving first thing

we spoke about it at the previous apple peel meet and the majority agreed to saturday.i hope ur memory is wrong :S dont wanna be parking in shit

true that not parking our skylines in shit lol

i think there's either a Coles or a Safeway withing 2-3hundred meters of the place they displaying cars

guess well just suss it out on sat where we park

i dont think auto salon will be as good as it used to be (no sau vic stand) and you would think they would have wanted some car representation for a skyline club as thats what helps get the people in ....if i have time i will go have a look...only interested in the dyno challenges as i have seen more than enough cars moving into the exhibition center for that show

Can't make it as I havent fully recovered yet from surgery. Taking longer than I thought :)

This prevents me from driving

hey man what happend you ok?

had a good day...wasnt as good as i expected..althought the chix were amazing! will post up some pix later...the 180sx that pulled 500kw on the dyno was amazing

all in all it was a ok but could have done with some more cars..and better cars.. i mean there was a holden commodore with a huge spoiler and completely stock that enterd..

no surpises that it wasnt up to standard again this year...... slap on a few cosmetics and paint and you got autosalon material, oh and dont forget the dyno queens

glad i didnt go, knew it wouldve been a waste of $30

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
