Well all in all was a pretty successful MAS. Id like to thank all the SAU crew and Fangartists crew for making it a good Weekend. Although i believe we were 'shoved in the back corner' i had a good time.

Thanks must go to all organisers and entrants. Especially Marky 'Bosch Number One', Leewah, Ash, James and last of all Sameer. Your drunken antics were classic!!!

I feel bad for that Yellow Supra that only made 104kw, but it looked like she had put a lot of work into it, even though a company did all of it, and she had no idea what was under the hood.

Yeh i saw it pull a 235 and that chick spat it and threw something at the car.. then it pulled like 260-80.

it popped an intercooler pipe first time round, but man it was running like a dog.. actually alot of cars were running doggish that i saw.

nice display though! i particularly loved the white 26 powered r31.

i was over with the platinum boys from tassie, we were stoked with it all.. and surprised that we took home 2 trophys

cars such as MYSHOW and OSMANS etc do not interest me in the slightest.. what f*ck stain spends $50K gold plating his engine bay?

much prefered the tough cars!

what gross photos. thats me. *note to self - go to the gym*

Umm id have to say that you were one of the more classy chicks there, so many s*uts and the like getting around that would have been more suited to the large population of strip joints in melbourne (i stayed in king st and counted about 6!)

in particular osmans chicks saying to everyone 'have you voted yet?'

I said no, but i ain't voting for that thing! (was waiting to get bashed by osmans)

the osmans car is so lame :D and the girls aren't exactly appealing to i. i wonder what it made on the dyno this time.

does anyone know who all those young asian girls were representing? kamikaze maybe. i am told that a girl from my school was among them.

wow the bathtub got 330 AWKw? now all they need is a nice outboard rig for that motor and they can go sailing away into the horizon...

BTW you guys all missed out on Sam's "Drunken Drifter" S15 that was outside.

next year I'll be back to pimp the models :) and that boris dude too. One of my mates just got a job at the company that does staging and props for blue heelers and water rats, so if he keeps his job till the next autosalon he promises that he'll help us out :)

i know something you dont know :)

There are better options, actually, he is a club member too.

But i wont say much more for now :)

btw from about page 2 or 3 i think where all the chick pictures were...the bird in the white with long brown curly hair modeling for AUTO GLYM (and her kinda blonde friend on the saturday at least) they are both strippers from mens gallery - brunette is shi-ann

mate was with me who is kinda a regular there hehe offered her $20 when i took my photo off her

on a side note....anyone know where i can hire power supplies, so i can run my stereo etc.. during the show without killing my battery.i was pissed i didnt have one on the weekend at the show...cause the props and equiptment guys from cabibn, screwed up and thought i just meant a normal extention lead on the night.. DER...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
