I was away all weekend and missed it :)

Though from your pics Tharaka, no phat 350z's?? disappointing :D

There was one I remember taking a photo of...

But I'm guessing there isn't many because they're still relatively new, and a bit more expensive than buying an older car...

hey guys,

good to hear some good posts about autosalon, massive turnout and the sau boys were doing what they do best. stacks of good photos on the way. what a huge weekend its been. thanks to all those who organised parts of it, as there was a fair amount of logisitics involved in arranging all the stuff, and the costs too. did anyone manage to spot the midnight purple III r34 gtr? this thing looked hot as, just like the photos we've seen. absolutely awesome. some of the cars were a bit over the top but thats what its all about. just owners who love their cars and mod them or paint them extreme. some big power makers on the dyno's stacks of cars over 300rwkw easily. ash made a massive 369rwkw. leewah made 603awkw, tymsup made 334rwkw. nigel with his supra made a big figure and tons more, i wasnt at the dyno for most of the time so some others will post up the full results. big thanks for everyone for their parts and also we had a lot of new crew on board so a big thanks and welcome to them for their efforts.. we met a lot of new people and made some really good friends. some new signups also on the way and good to meet some of the forums members and give them a tour around and put a face to the names. very helpful. thanks again everyone. photos on the way, sarahs carmera has 74 so should be a real pisser to see them all :)

big thanks again for making it a great weekend

Just a quick note to say - fantastic effort from all involved with the SAU stand at Autosalon!

A great effort by everyone to get not only our stand up and running - but also keeping the dyno operations running smoothly all weekend.

The cars looked great, the SAU representation was great - so a very positive weekend all round. Bummer about the GT4 disc getting pinched though :)

Too many names to mention everyone - but a big hand to Ash (even if he was wearing a Fangartists shirt all weekend), Chris & Bec for getting all the bits and pieces organised - and to Pete & Adz, the supreme car marshalls :D

And of course... congratulations to Leewah and the Fangartists crew for not only winning a whole bag of trophies, but returning the Autosalon dyno power record of 604 awkw to its rightfull home!

Great job all - you can all sleep with the knowledge you made the world a better place ;)

Nice!  

20d :)

What filter did you use?

ehh filter??

didn't use any filters

most of the stands there were too dark to get good shutter speeds oh well

autosalon wasn't really that great this yr it seemed smaller maybe coz of levis and girls day out events nextdoor.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
