YAY good to hear that GTNIK took home a few! i actually good video footage of GTNIK on the dyno.... well if ya can call it that on the 1st few runs..... unfortunately the piping kept on coming off.... would have gotten better footage but paul decided to kick me out of the fenced area so had to make do.....

on a more serious note it is good to see that Nik has gotten a few, i know that i am biased being a skyline lover and all but i really think he should have won king, i think shogun is nice but nothing compared to nIk....

Did James Mandy's SSS pulsar 'PULSSSAR' win best engine bay? that thing is a work of art...

Heya Guys,

Did you know shes married to charlie sheen... geez, she could do so much better than that :)

I have seen that cronic ute at a few shows now.. never really had a good look.... damn was hoping James would win best engine... i took enough bloody photos of it!

Yeah i know Rob she promised me she would be mine... she was meant to be mine that one night of magic we had together i will never forget... AHAHAH!! * i wish*

Show wasnt bad this year... decent variety, loads of eye candy as usual hehe... some good displays!

I took Best Engine bay for "expert" class... also titled "Look what he's done to the engine bay".

Adam's ute is awesome. He easily took enough points to make it into PRO class, winning Top Judged Engine Bay, Undercarriage, and best holden (exactly the same as what Graham's GTS Commodore won last year).

Because I dont have any other features on my car (interior, undercarriage, paint, body work, wank, rice, blah blah ) I dont accumulate enough points to go to "PRO" class.

The Autosalon is based on a points system. I went to some "entrant meeting" on saturday night, with about 15 other entrants, the judges and organisers discuss things like how to win, including gaining points in certain area's, and so on... (read, marketing)... heh.

Things like, you can increase your chances as king of autosalon by going on the dyno, by doing an SPL run, etc.

They go on to discuss things like, instead of working your car in one area, work it in several areas to gain points in each area, to greaten your chances of winning.

It's good, because it encourages people to build complete cars.... (and there certainly were a few)

The Chronic ute deserves pro class, it's modified in many areas! Adam is a top guy too :D

I'm pretty happy that I got what I did... I've put way too much time and money into the car, it's time to start enjoying it (read, thrashing it's tits off)... haha

should b at drag combat if it's all run-in :)

hope ya liked the show!

had the shogun car been changed much since last year? sounds like it was the same cars as PAS, and as cabin last year...?

He'd added airbag suspension and gull wing doors.. I had a close look at the hinge arrangements on the doors.. looks pretty easy to do.. just a bit of adjustment required to make it line up...

hmmm....

i think shogun has had some new stuff done to it

did it always have the hydraulics? and those scissor doors? does any1 know how much power he pulled?

anyway i think he deserved it not really the car i woulda picked but he defineatly drew the crowds with his whole display

i was dissapointed J2J wasnt there

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
