For those unaware, there is an AutoSalon display of cars at the GP this year. As a combined SAU/Fangartists effort, we have 11 cars on display. If you at the GP at all over the weekend - please come and say hi :(

The display is on the Golf Course, north of the lake, just east of the pontoon bridge - at Brock Hill.

Day 1

-------

Great atmosphere from the 'open day' crowds and weather. Sure, some stupid questions, some VERY stupid questions - but all good fun. Apparantly some guy's cousin owns Nigel's Supra... ah, no. Have set up a very comfortable camp of deck chairs, umbrellas and an esky - not quite a corporate box, but next best thing :P

The utes, V8s, classics and Porsches were all out today. Nothing special - just practice sessions. The V8s do sounds great though. Only event of note was the 'handicap' race between a BMW 120i, Jim Richard's V8 supercar and the BMW Williams F1 - run twice today, the later session at 4.00pm hat the F1 beat the 120i by mere centimetres. Good stuff!

The Roulettes were doing acrobatics right overhead which was great to watch. Plenty of corporate 'eye candy' - which mostly looks best from a distance :D

We all ended up tired, sunburnt and drunk - in true SAU fashion. The next few days should be even busier and more action packed so if you able to come along, don't forget to say hello :P

hmm. I might have to come and say hello to some fellow GTR owners. I'm 6 feet tall and I'll be wearing a Williams Jacket and Webber hat, so if you see me before I see you, yell out!

lol....im sure you'll stick out of the crowd:D

good on ya's SAU!! some eye candy pics please.

DAY 1 - Great day, great weather... very civil.

DAY 2 - I lost some SAU respect... Fell asleep in a drunken haze in my car... I'm sure everyone had fun taking silly photo's of me sleeping... I think I won't be sneeking in 14 beers today. Pretty good effort though, you think you could sleep through the sound of a F1 car zooming past only 30m away? I was very wasted!

Day one, a few beers.

Day two, more beers and a little bit tipsy.

Day three, smashed and walking with a pronounced drunk swagger. Mate even more drunk and sleeping on the train.

Awesome fun being had by all.

Pics to come afterwards

My head Hurts.

Was a great turn out of Skylines I thought. Saw a few of you under the umbrella next to Leewahs car. Only recognised Adz and Leewah. Saw James' hat under Golgo with some red writing on I seem to remember. Got some pics so I will post them up later when I have finished uploading them to photobucket.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
