course you can, no point in having lots of cars if nobody can go see em!

I just would have thought they'd explain the spectator part a bit better. Website nor JDMST says anything about entry prices or whether its a closed off event or if anyone walking on the yarra can get a look see.

I like the idea though, Auto Salon with fresh air and a view + music + food should be awesome. Wonder if next year theyll get a bigger venue and start getting stalls for parts etc. like with ARC meets.

I remember reading somewhere that it's open to the public so anyone can come and have a look, entry is free for spectators i believe.

Also will it be a night time or day time event?

Daytime, from about 9am (i think) to 5pm finish

Yeah free for spectators, they did mention it somewhere. May have been on the facebook page

Entrant Fee goes towards organisation of the event, hiring the location, permits, advertising, keeps the bogans in "SOFRESH" plated VN Commodores away and stops people doing skids because the event organisers have all the details of the cars and their owners.

They'll be making a profit, which hopefully will all be put towards the next event and improve the scene with higher quality events :)

I'd guess that some of the entry fee is probably being used to bring some of the 'show' cars down from Sydney also. <br /><br />No doubt these guys are running it like a business and will aim to make a profit. From the little I know about events, its pretty rare they make money on the first time because there are always unexpected costs so maybe they have built a bit more fat into the entry cost than necessary. But I guess if you don't like that then you don't have to enter your car - you can still attend the show on foot for free. <br /><br />What I would like to see from the though, is some better communication - they're doing a great job of building the hype on social media, but as an entrant I've only received one email, requesting my payment and nothing else. Hopefully they will increase the flow of information closer to the date once things have fallen into place.<br /><br />On another note - I went down to the location on the weekend, so long as they don't jam the cars too close together, it should be an awesome lay out and lots of foot traffic.

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
