I thought it was pretty good this year. Was an improvement on last years ;)

Mind you, i was a little surprised at the number of, shall we say, lower than average cars there. It wasn't a huge number but more than i expected. Being a car show I would have thought there would be some sort of level a car has to be at to make it in. If im paying 18 bucks to see this, I expect a certain level of quality. But, perhaps that's just me. That said, it was still good :)

Pity SAU didn't make it. Maybe next time :rant:

I was talking to the Cabin guys during the show and they were alot happier with this years

show than last year's.

I must agree it was a big improvment over last year!

Also i was happy with our stand, not bragging but i was really happy with out Purple S1580, that was one hot car :D

I was dissapointed

Maybe I had to greater expectation, but thought it was pretty average, there where some good cars there, but the whole event lacked a certian buzz that I associate with the shows of previous years

maybe its just me, who knows

Doubt if I would go next year, unless there are a few big name cars there. None of the big name workshops there either, but the Skylines that where there were pretty good

I'd give it a 2.5/5

the avarage is improve from last year, very people car looks very nice. But then lack of other state CRAZY car coming(only myshow & Osman's shxt WRX) and local workshop highly mod car makes me a bit disappointed.

Another problem is being the drift is SO hot atm, there are PLENTY of 180, and everyone is wearing the same vetrex/BN kit. Looks like a uniform to me and wonder how can they drift after having those expensive bodykit / wide front guard? Before i go into auto salon i think they looks very nice, but not now.

i don't think i will pay $18 again next year unless i am going into it with my car.

BTW if SAU really go in like we plan, should able to win the best car club display.

And i can't find a R33 looks better than Matt inside :wassup:

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
