AutoSalon 2004 - less than 2-months to go...


Recommended Posts

I typed a big post before... but it logged me out.

Anyhow.

R34 GTR wheels will fit my car if R32 GTR wheels still dont sit out enough :O

and R33-t wheels dont even fit on my car due the offset.

But as for everything else... Good ideas coming out here.

Dont forget that this wont all come cheaply.

Last year (as some may not know) there was a bit of a hand from the guys at BMT to get us, and our stand to MAS.

Just remember in your ideas, to try think costs, and economy.

I dunno if a joint stand will occur at this stage, but if it does not... then we will have to think very smart.

While i sound like a poo etc etc... these things need to be remembered.

Other than that, any idea is a good idea!

And if we can 'borrow' things from here and there for the weekend, it'll work in our favour.

I think we all learnt a lot from last year that should make this year a SH(T load better in planning and execution (remember the t-shirts)

But yeah. I've got no ideas at the current. But if i think of something... then it'll get posted :zap:

as a question guys, what do we have left from last yrs event that we can salvage for this yrs?

also i think that if someone can look into getting prices for hiring fencing (or whateva its called), prices for t shirts / banners and associated items we might be able to get the ball rolling

basically nowadays, if someone brings me one for a mod, or a repair, i just say to the ppl that want mods, $450, they ask why i say $300 for a new PS2, $150 for the chip :) for those that want a repair i quote $300, flat rate, they ask why, you guessed it :)

lol narky, the older the model of PS2, the shitter the design of the laser and motherboard, nothing to brag about, the most current one u get in the shops however, is WAY ahead of the others, like WAY ahead...

pft! mine is like a 30002, one of the first ones. Since then haven't had ONE problem, still working fine chipped and all. Fired up GT3 the other day .. built a nice s13 drift racer.. man that game rocks!

gt4.. drools.. then drools some more, then wipes drool and drools a little more.

i was talking about the GT3 game f00!

I have about 45min of skid-pan footage

Also have about 1000 pics that can be put on a cd and played via a DVD player or computer (better image res. on computer)

Keen to play a part in this show, including entering my car.

Those t-shirts were my curse last year...

Myabe this time we do just one design - even I can't screw that up :P

I still have the big BF Goodrich R34 banner and all the PS2 link hardware.

Investigating some light-truss towers.

Ula - would love to have your car!

Fencing... can be 'borrowed' possibily :P

Heh - I don't know what you mean...

Maybe a meeting next week for people who want to be involved?

Pizza and drinks to talk about ideas?

Depending on the dvd player the jpeg's load up real slow.

I have my 119cm widescreen tv, but i aint to keen lugging that 60kg thing around.

There are a number of oportunities coming up to get more footage if we want to make a dvd.

We have the GOR cruise coming up.

Another skidpan weekend coming up

I have track days this weekend and mid march

Al was looking at a DECA day/weekend before the end of March

There will be skylines at the Drift Nationals

Im SURE we can arrange a day/night at Heathcote/Calder

Other day or night cruises can be arranged with short notice.

If someone has the facilities to take footage then Im sure we can make a pretty kick ass mixed dvd without too many problems.

James mentioned the idea of a racing theme - theme's are good in my opinion. As a slight variance to a racing theme could be a general motorsport theme including circuit, drag and drift. Show the versitility of the skyline as the ultimate motor sports car.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
