Hey All,

For those of us who are ignorant to MAS ( I know what it is, by the way :-) )

How do I purchase tickets and whatever to it? And how do I get a map and details of how to get there, like what trams to catch from Flinders St or Spencer St stations? or could I walk to it from them?

I would like to go this year but I don't know melbourne too well or have ever been to an Auto Salon, let alone a Melbourne one :-)

Cheers

Corey.

You can catch plane, bus, train to Melbourne.

From there, you need to get to the melbourne exhibition and convention centre.

(not far from Spencer St station)

Go here for maps

You can buy tickets on the day you attend, at the ticket box, or you can bypass the ticket box and buy tickets at machines along the walls of the centre.

:D

after we'd waited about half an hour in line, an attendant came up to us and said that we could purchase tickets from the vending machines.

I guess if you don't know the machines are there, then you'd just wait in line.

Only bonus to waiting in line, was that you got a free magazine [sarcasm]*hoorah*[/sarcasm] and a useless autosalon card.

this year i'll be using the vending machine to bypass the ticket line.

thanks heaps or all the replies peoples!

I know how to get to southbank from spencer/flinders, I Just didn't know where MAS was actually held! hehe

one more question...what time does it open? and what time should I try to get there to actually get in and not stand around, by myself, like a doosh-bag. hehe

All I can say to help is, just make sure you do your research on where ever you get the work quoted/done.

Dont always go on what people say, as I have found out that, for myself, sometimes all the hype and praise does not match the actual service you recieve.

I would imagine an exhaust place could do the piping for you no worries...? I think I remember reading a thread a while ago about a place in Oakley that is supposed to be quite good, an exhaust place ofcourse :-)

Dont know if that thread was lost in the infamous server crash or not...hehe

The massive length of the queue is why there is 2 MAS events this year, this has to be a good thing and here's hoping that SAU wins best car club...... if we're in the running for it, as we're really a bunch of nutbags that chat online!!!!

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
