I was just wondering if anyone here was going to enter in the Adelaide Autosalon this year?

Is it worth getting a few cars together for a club display? I am hoping mine will be resprayed by then, and I know many of you have excellent cars be it for the quality of finish or the engineering. (or both)

Its a good way to promote the club, and may be a start to being recognised by insurance companies and the likes (which can result in better insurance prices)

I'm not sure when the applications have to be in, but I will try and find out if others are interested.

I WAS going to but my car will not be resprayed by then, and i can't afford my rims yet damn it! :)

Speaking of which does anyone know of any paint suppliers who have good competative prices? I need to find some decent prices because currently $130 a litre is the best price i have got

I've been to many Autosalons (Sydney and Adelaide) but until now I had never even considered entering my own car. I guess there's a first time for everything? :P

In all seriousness Steve, you and I should enter!

Your car is well and truely up to the standard mate. I can't speak for the other forum members, but when I go to these kind of events as a spectator it's cars like yours that impress me the most. A nice custom paint job is probably the biggest area we are lacking in. But who cares? It's not like we're there to win.

To be honest, my engine bay is the only real feature of my car, and when you compare it to most AS cars it's not really that flash anyway!

Hmmm...... ahh stuff it, why not? Yep. I'm in. In fact lets go all out and do like it 4door has proposed - a full 'Skylines Australia' club entry. We've got the numbers to make a pretty damn good showing, and we sure as hell have some impressive cars!

Ross could bring COPYME - his R34 would be a huge stand out! Andrew could bring the S15 (the 12.7 time slip on the windscreen would impress!) All the GT-R (32, 33 and 34) guys could line them up for the biggest gathering of GT-R's seen at an Adelaide Autosalon!

I could go on and on...

The only show stopper I can think of is if the police show up (uniformed or plain clothes) and start recording rego numbers :P

Hey John, what about getting one of your GTR's there - (even if its not ready for the track) I am sure there would be plenty of interest in Australias fastest street GTR (its only a matter of time :-) )

As for rego, why dont we print out (on tin or cardboard) our own SAU plates and cover up your street rego.

Kym, will your R33 car be up for a club display?

We may be able to get some support from a store (Car Toys, Super Cheep etc.) to help with props or bits to improve the site.

Hey guys,

I was told by a mate of mine down there that CarToys is putting on a display with a couple of Skylines on display..I think there's a 4-door something and my mate's 33 GTST will be @ their stand too.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
