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:

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
