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

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).

What kind of "Professional" photographer uses flash on shiny surfaces...

[NS2500]

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?

My lost battery charger is a twin AA charger, black in colour, says: "Nikon Coolpix" on it i think?

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.

FB need to talk to the owners sometimes i think.

Would have been good too have ICE mentioned, aswel as Pete's 180 as on a stock motor i feel 333rwkw is a better effort than on a built one
