Went to this last year and it was great.

This is where i found my suppliers for my coil-overs, ADR approved braided lines and even the DBA rotors.

If i have time i will be going there again this year.

So who went...i introduced myself to numerous Mrs BRI58Y candidates, but i think they had eyes for the V8 Supercar drivers...

Thought is was pretty good, but a tad disapointed that some of the bigger race teams etc didnt offer more support, though i suppose we are coming up to the start of the season and they are all very busy...did i mention the promo girls:(

The Harrop stand was a personal fav...6 pots:whackit: and the Wynns and DBA stands caught my eye as well

Well I went down this afternoon and it was great. Many droolworthy cars on display. Did I mention big brake kits make me horny? :wassup:

and speaking of promo girls... f$ck me that Stacey "white tiger" chick has a great body... I was half way through asking a sales guy if the wheels they had on display were forged when I saw her and said "holy sh|t" !! LOL I even bought her calendar ahaha.. she signed it for me :P

LOL.. and those two grand prix chicks in white skirts.. daammn.. g0t legs? :D special mention to the Toyo Tyres promo girl.. :rolleyes:

And of course drooling over the Holden GTS-R concept.. full roll cage, carbon fibre paneling throughout, Motec data logger... omg.. that thing looked TUFF!! :)

the black lamborghini was sexy too.. monoblock brakes, forged magnesium wheels. It's also for sale! hehe.. FS: one highly thrashed lamborghini with no headlights. :D

Overall I thought it was worthwhile going, should be bigger and better next year! I took a few photo's which I'll post up later.

:cheers:

The GTSR was awesome in the flesh...if only Holden could do a limited run of them....you would have to think there are Aussie weekend warriors who would rather park ther a55es in a GTSR rather the GT3 CSL M3s etc, i know i would:)

    • I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
    • Yep, I was supprised. Its all about flow rather then housing size.  Doing G35-900 Vs ATR45SS-1 Next. 62mm V 61mm. 
    • Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.    
    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
