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? :)

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.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
