Hi All,

We are currently having an expression of interest for the Melbourne Autosalon 2006 expo/show.

We are seeking interest from the SAU VIC Members and this event is only open to Members.

For those who aren't members and would like to have your car on display at Autosalon 2006 then you should join SAU VIC immedietly.

We have some interest but would like to see some more people put their car's in. It's a great social weekend filled with lots of cool cars, a great SAU team and lots of antics. Cabin have also offered us buddy passes which means when you car is in you get free entry all weekend for yourself and one other friend.

We have been at all of the previous Autosalon's (2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005) so let's get as many members as we can. I don't wanna miss on this one. Afterall its well known that the SAU crew (and fangartists) basically rule Autosalon for members and their rides.

Show your support, afterall it's your club as much as it ours (SAU Commitee Team).

All of the other car clubs you know or have heard of will be present (IMCC, Evolve, Commodore Car Cruise, Chasers, Rajab Racing) just to name a few. Also all of the stupidly loud audio demo cars, promo girls and cheap merchandise and parts onsale.

THe entry fee gives you two tickets all weekend, access to dyno run is included in the price (if you wish). The full tank requirement is part of event safety. This is to eliminate the risk of a fuel explosion as the fumes in the petrol tank are the dangerous part. When the tank is full (or almost empty also) there are little or no fumes, reducing the risk.

I believe it's part of Cabin's event insurance also. They check every tank upon car entry to the event on the Friday.

      Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      What basics? With these OBD1 ECUs it's not like the ECU will give you any real clues, it's not really doing any sanity checking of sensors/sensor data. My experience is actually a lot of sensors tend to be the source of the issue first and foremost, and checking everything gives you a direction to investigate. MAF/O2/STFT/LTFT should all kind of make sense. You can try little tricks of the trade like tapping the MAFs to see if it triggers a stumble, things like that. But once you've done a compression test knowing whether you have an air leak or fuel delivery problem is kind of hard to narrow down without sensor data. And you don't really know if all your sensors are making sense unless you can interrogate the ECU directly about what it's seeing for sensor data.

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.
