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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
