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

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 ;)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
