Seeing as no-one else has started any threads... here's mine..

I took about 1gb of pics, and managed to shrink it down to 30mb, so rather than making a thread that kills connections, I made a site for it, and split it into 7 pages so it loads easy

Enjoy.

Umm, I dunno if you wanna make this thread the official thread or whatever.. :cheers:

Oh, and if you want hi-res pics, just PM or email me.

Skylines were everywhere

Oh and the "MYSHOW" S15 pumped out a whopping 110Kw !!! What huge power. They were even making excuses for it. Awww he only gives it 3/4 throttle so the gold plating doesnt go off and the only reason he is on the dyno is to get points.

Nice pics taka, u must of gone early coz it doesent look like there are alot of people around in the backgrounds of the pictures

Thanks, yea, I got there at around 10:45 or so, there was no-one in the line which was really good.

Then left at like 3:30 after it got boring, and you can see the line in the last photo.

wat was the ratio of skylines to other cars?

Yeah there were heaps of Skylines, at least 20. Obviously lots in the SAU stand, Fangartists and various other stands. For me the SAU stand was the best because it represented the best of what you'd call "street" machines, the kind of cars you can drive without getting too much unwanted attention.

I caught up with Paul and Scott at the SAU stand who both have great looking cars and Paul was helpful in explaining alot of things I was wondering about the R33 Series 2. Got some ideas for future mods too :)

I fogot my digital camera but there was a guy selling a CD of pics he took before the show opened, so there are lots of nice clean shots without people getting in the way. It was $20 but worth it, especially as i'm a crap photographer anyway.

So if you haven't gone, you should before it closes, and if your reading this after its closed and you wished you'd gone, you missed a great show!

And leewah(don't know if thats the right spelling) got his Dyno King crown back by 1kW, which he had previously lost to a competator at Brisbane Autosalon.

Great show..

Mike

Nice pics!

Did any1 else see the rear wheel of this car? :)

IMG_3241.jpg

Yeah, i thought the angle looked a bit farked (toe-out on the rears :( ). Even in the engine bay some piping was missing, wouldn't know why?

Nice shots there Tharaka :). Was a pretty good day overall yesterday, and congratulations to Leewah for breaking the AWKW record! Was right next to the fence on the rear-quarter of the car. Recorded the run with my cousins phone and my cousin recorded that run on his digital camera. We'll try and put em up for download. Great run there, loved the flamage! Made my day......

......Great setup SAU guys! All of your cars look terrific; great display of superb skylines!

Steve.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
