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


Recommended Posts

Snowman- Thats an awesome idea, video footage would be great. I have a good friend who is waaaay into video editing, has a $12,000 set up at his place. We could make a kick ass dvdvideo as long as we had the footage ready. Let me know

Al - What is the footage on? VHS or Hi-8 MiniDV etc?

James - I think a meeting is definatly best to nut out ideas and get them on paper.

I also have a PS2 that can be used for the day.

I also have a projector I could get hold of, would need to keep it way safe though!

As for the cd of images to play a pc would be the best option, I can borrow as many as we need for the day including monitors etc for th weekend. Won't be a hassel.

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.

:werd: (saves me having to think of an idea)

I'll just jump on a bandwagon!

But i like that better than defects.

Versatility of the Skyline, nice idea. Im sure Drag/Drift/Circuit would be AWESOME!

It's sorta like the BMT 'catch phrase' thingy

Drag/Drift/Street/Circuit... or whatever it is.

Pity they thought of it first... we could have used that as out T-Shirt theme.

Maybe have home made banners over the cars, couple of cars for each area.

We could use a name of... SAU - Vic Motorsports Divison ???

or something stupid like that :P

Yeah Racing idea is a kick ass one.

How about a little phrase like out of the dictioanry. You know how they have the name then the meaning. We could fudge somethinglike "Skyline - Power, versatility, syle, unbeatable" or sumthing like that? Or a Godzilla one. Wonder what the meaning is there? Just an idea.

if you need a bnr32 i can get mine in there. i can get it really shiny :P i also have a ps2 to donate for the day... remember gran turismo 4 comes out soon... would be good for multiplayer :)

hmmm you can oil yourself up if you really want to...

I was talking to a mate of mine who's a food artist... he reckon's he can make up some chunks of meat with other car maker's insignia burnt into em, like honda, subaru etc...

chuck the fake meat in a plate in front of each car, get some hired fences (so ppl can't lean on your shit), dress up the models in loincloths and hang a big f**koff sign that says "do not feed the animals" and do it full zoo/safari style...

Just an idea.

Mine won't be done by april so I can't give noof a running for "riciest car in autosalon"... however I will help out, as I did last year (and took 3 days off work too :P as sickies)

ORRRR we can do it so its full Jap autosalon style. with the asian chicks with the transparent umbrellas n all. Where's horus n his bevvy of international students?

I recon we bring the video of mr hung and play it over and over again. He could be the skyline mascot? What you recon?

mr hung would be gold

we could have him sing she bangs with different skyline orientated lyrics

"she fangs she fangs, baby when she boosts she boosts"

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
