-----------------

The Melbourne Auto Salon was held over the weekend at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and is without doubt one of the biggest indoors shows of the year. The Dyno cell is always a popular spectacle with big power from all classes.

XTC Engine Management and Turbocharging (03 9354 1198) setup their 4WD dyno and for the second year running Ice Performance took outright honours. David Lee’s ‘RBDET’ GT-R Skyline ramped up 604kW at all four (reclaiming the 4WD record) on Saturday while in RWD mode also made 608kW struggling for traction. Nigel Beale’s bright orange ‘DAMN’ Supra wasn’t too far behind with a very strong 585kW reading. Benny Kashima’s Chasers Drift S13 punched out 333KW from it’s Nissan SR20 engine and tied for the 4-cylinder class.

The Autosalon series now moves to the Sydney Showground (May 14-15) and will be back in Melbourne for the semi final event (November 12-13).

I guess they lose the passion...they look alright to me though. I can't stand when "professional" photographers have blurry images!

Really nice photos from all the SAUers, looks like you're enjoying that camera Dark. Great work on the stand guys (and girls!), good to see Dave's GTR back on the dyno and reclaiming the AWD record.

haha, i dunno.

i guess im just pissed off about it, because the fullboost editor was meant to get back to me before autosalon started about being a photographer for them..

but im not sure what happened to our discussion...

i would've appreciated it if he even at least said no... but he didnt deny it, nor confirm it..

haha, yea, i love it.

i gotta save up $500 for the 50mm f/1.8 and the 55-200mm USM lens

i -really- want the canon 10-22, but that costs almost as much as the camera itself.. lol

any pics from you Greg?

Couple of things, my new speedlight didn't arrive on time (so I could take flash photos of shiny surfaces!) but also it was the Russian (and Greek and few others') Easter over the weekend so I had heaps of family commitments.

Really wanted to go though, just the timing was bad for me this year.

i need naaawwss!!! :(

when's the next one guys? September? f*ck if my car ain't ready by then i'm going to f*cking kill myself... or the car, one or the other. Looks like a great weekend, and i keep missing 'em ;)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
