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

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 ;)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
