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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
