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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
