I went once about 3 years ago. Never again.

Autosalon could be soooo much better if they put a bit more thought into catering for the more broader car enthusiast community. People who actually take pride in tastefully modifying their cars. Rather than cheap and nasty jobs that makes you laugh and just wonder..........why?

Ive never seen so many pink charades and gold plated corollas in my life.

Popped collars and Adidas bum bags is the dress code too :(

dave thats so last year, i believe fake oriton man purses + g-star raw singlets are the new dress code :D

but in all seriousness, autosalon has been a joke for a long time now... anyone with a real car with some actual wrench time under the hood in a tasteful jdm styled car simply gets shunned in favor of some chopjob lexus dumped on chromies..

What we would call tastefully modified is someone elses boring

some people just get attracted to shiny things :D

I remember the one autosalon I went to (4 or 5 years ago) there were 3 R32 GTRs owned by autostyle. No bling wheels, no bodykits/neons, stock paint & their hoods open with quite a bit of work done to them.

My friend & I were drooling over them & taking pics but everyone else was ignoring them for all the candy painted lancers

it wasn't until they put them on the dyno & pulled 600+awkw that there was a big crowd around the GTRs :ermm:

says quite a bit about the type of crowd that attends these things

the people who enter this abomination they call a car show never drive there cars either, stones might flip up n hit one of their 16 under car tvs whcich they watch on a regular basis.

real cars get driven not put away in an air tight room where no spec of dust can get on it

all u need to enter and draw a crowd is a body kit non stadard paint n oversized chrome wheels

When i went 4 years ago, i was 18. Even back then i thought it was sh!t.

Nobody cares for big powah GTR's or any car that looks standard besides JDM wheels. Until it hits the dyno and blows flames in there face and then they go "Zomg Fast and the furious is true!" and really all they drool over is the T88 turbo not even knowing what it is there for.

Oh - The year i went, DREMPT was there with his fake intercooler and not even any plumbing for it. Exposed end tanks FTL.

I admire clubs that go there to get exposure though the cars they show maybe not to everyones taste at least they are trying to get there name out there. I suppose.

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
