Help with theme for PAS Autosalon

[R33 Impul]

Hey Guys

How about the 1990/91???(right year?) Bathurst video, of the almighty GTR winning. This will tie in an Aussie motor racing icon with the Jap sports car scene and I think it is the only Jap car to have won Bathurst and everyone watches Bathurst.

Thats my 2c worth.

How about asking SST Steve if we can borrow Greys R32 race car for the weekend as part of a centre piece park it along side GTR Ken's car with other Lines around them.

Another 2c's.

:uh-huh:

[JUDGED]

Maybe the "campain girls" can wear race type suits with the front not done up all the way hmmmm:), oh well dont know if that is a requirement for the show.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

R33 Impul,

We might have the load of a race car, fingers crossed:D

I don't think we would be able to get away with showing that footage would we?

Thanks for the great ideas, keep them coming.

See'ya:burnout:

monitors or always nice and easy.... James Mandy owner of PULSSSAR has always used a nice monitor with a power point presentation... goes down VERY well with the judges it outlays what he has done inthe builds and how he has done it...

I think its awesome that you guys are gonna put a skyline display in, more nissans ...

With my setup. I usually just go a single flat panel display with a slide show running, it displays what ive done to the car, some areas in more details than others, it also has specifications, special thanks, and so on. It might look simple, but it actually takes fkn ages to setup, haha damn i hate powerpoint.

The pc that displays the presentation also runs the music for my display, usually just winamp with a pile of music queued up and blurting out some decent speakers.

I'm kinda over the whole cranking the music idea, if its too loud, people dont wanna stand and admire your vehicle, because they either hate the choice of music, or it's simply too loud and annoying.

I setup this same thing for the HSV in the rb display at cabin just passed. however, due to the RB display having shite loads of lightning, audio gear, and generally NOT enough power, our circuit breaker was tripping the whole weekend. This of course shut down the PC with the presentation on it. and because i like to disconnect the keyboard and mouse while its running to make it look neat, it's a MAJOR pain in the arse to get it all going again, not to mention the stupid PC doing a scandisk everytime. (grr)

The hardest part of the presentation is getting the timing on the frames right, making sure you can read the text in time before going into the next slide, etc.

It's a good idea if you have a lot of pictures of your ride already on a PC... (scanned in or digital), if you have a lot of photo's in an album, I'd just display that on a photo board instead. This can sometimes be better than the presentation, because some people dont want to stand in front of a PC and stare at the screen waiting for a certain part to come in the presentation. Some judges also dont like this. (they dont have time to stand there and watch it, whereas they can easily skim across a photo board). dunno really, i've had various types of feedback on the setup.

Anyway, this year should be good. And although western salon is always half arsed, or screw's up at the end, or whatever, its still fun stuff. I like the show, it has a good vibe. My car is still in some serious gutted state, so unsure if I will make it yet. I'd much rather have it setup properly and ready for some racing than bothering about a car show. (some top racing events coming up around the time of this show too!). However I've also made some serious changes to the car, new coilovers, whole new engine bay, blah blah. Its driving me up the wall. I havent had the car driving for almost a year now, pain! I ended up buying a bunky to get around in, its this little white suzuki hatch, 800cc's and 3cyls of awesome power, oh and it has massive huge 12" red wheels! hahaha

Good luck with your organising of the car show, again, It's great to see you guys are gonna put in a display.

I still dont know what I'm doing for display, if I make it, I wont be displaying with RB. So, either solo, or with my gf's dads car or whatever. hrmmmmm

Cheers, James

Hi Guys,

As many of you know we are planning an SAU entry into this years PAS Wester Salon (if you don't, read the Events section).

Call me blind but i cant see a thread on this in the Events section? Can someone link me or is it not there anymore?

Thanks

[bully]

what you really need is a supra (casts the bait)

[skyzerr33]

[RadiuM]

if you want video of skylines racing about i have hours of footage of me at MC and Pro-Max, aswell as some footage of Cameron and some black 33 that has been down there once or so.

edit: some footage of simons 32 aswell i think. *scratches head*

In car and outside

Do we know yet how many cars we can have? How much space we will have?

I like the workshop idea, focusing on performance (as the Skyline was built for), tools and engine bits laying around (tied down of course), and each car should have a different focus on it, such as one showing off polished engine, one with dyno sheets displayed prominately, one with particularly nice body kit, one with custom interior...

I agree the very loud audio systems can be annoying, and do not encourage people to hang around the display too long. If you have a good set up, people know by looking at the gear, they don't need to hear it. You always end up with some trev next to you who thinks he can out blast you with Mettalica (?)

[N I B]

We can take the Wholagan GTR but i Black listed Gray 6 months ago please don't associate SST and Peter gray.

We have lots of race gear that can be used and i have the Pack of assholes GTR vids and a projector but the light is a prob.

Do we want an RB26 powered Sports sedan for the show as Evans is now rolling and looking wild, it is a Silvia body but we can display it as the space frame with an RB in the guts of it.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I'll try an get this back on track when I return:D

[EVL R33]

Just a thought. We could have a simple line up of all the different versions of the skyline from as far back as we can go to the R34. Jash's old skooler, R30', 31's, and a gtst, gts4 and a gtr from R32, R33 and R34. That way it shows we have a lot of different models in the club and would be a pretty neat thing I think.

I'm guessing that would need about 11 cars already so not sure of available space.

Just my 2c....

I kinda like Brett's ideas, there more to Skylines then just the 33s which is what non-enthusiasts think. We should educate them on all the models available

[zanda]

one day I will buy an ironmask.

I wish I had the money now to make one reliable.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Brett, That idea is what we are trying to go with, but we need to find out how much room we can have.

If anyone knows the organisers can they please get an email address or phone number so we can start to organise things:D

[EVL R33]

No worries Paul, but that wasn't made clear so hence my suggestion.

If we could get a corner stall we could have the cars all lined up in a horseshoe all facing in running up the line from oldest to newest. We could have a couple of racecars either end (GTAAAH and the Wholagan perhaps).. Maybe a board in front of each model outlines the specs, years etc... Nothing overly Ricey but a display lots of people will talk about I think.. Nice big SAU banner above the lot with flyers advertising the forums and the soon to be started club....

I'm happy to start chasing PAS up while you are away Paul..

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Brett, That would be appreciated if you could. We had a meeting a few months ago to discuss what we were planning and most of what you have suggested is what we had thought too:D If we can get a space allocated then more decisions on the design can be made:D

Thanks

Paul
