Im sure the safe and sound car seat did make a point about it being a daily driver. The UAS track CD in the window may also have helped to let them know it was a track car as well!

But seriously this all fundamental business/marketing if you have a great product(car in this case) and you want people to buy it or win a competetion in this case you need to let people know about it people can't read your mind...

Personally I liked CYIFLY more then Paul's car :Pimp2: but to most people it was just a GTR lowered with some rims and exhaust..

Where as with Paul’s car you could see all the go fast bits and see the results (dyno charts). With Paul’s car it was plainly obvious how much work was done to it hence probably why it scored better.

I didn't even get to perv at Pauls car... in fact any car at all... and I spent more time at Mingara on Sunday than most (not all) people! That is the bigest dissapointment.

:P

It was a good day but I feel that some cars were UNDER Judged. I really do feel that the orginisers knew some of the winning cars and was upsetting to see the award go to other cars and I know if I mention the cars that should of won I will have alot of people up in a stir.

I have only just seen this post and will let you know why CYIFLY did not win anything other than "best exterior"...... its as simple as it being locked up all day...

I have said this in the wrap up thread, but it was announced that judging was about to begin and if you wanted your car judged to have it presented in a manner that it could be judged...

I know that one of the judges gave it a zero for engine bay and a very low score for interior as neither the engine bay or the interior could be seen properly for it to be judged accurately..... sure it was a very clean and well presented car on the outside but assuming the engine bay and interior is of the same standard would be unfair to those who had their bonnet up and doors open...... had the car had its bonnet up and at least its windows wound down the results possibly would have been different.....

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
