The track theme sounds good.

Heres another.

we could make the flooring look like the streets of japan.

IE:we park our cars next to fake painted cardboard gutters with jap looking light poles and signs.

Or you could do a workshop theme drive the cars up on ramps.The only thing is those of us with low front bars.EEK.And use empty toolboxes scattered arround.empty oil,funnels.a shifter etc..

I think the track theme is good but not as practical as the workshop theme. it is alot easier to set up the workshop, have a few car of stands, a few of those big red tool boxes, scattered tool, those massive oil tins, funnels, sparkies, leads scattered, even those big industrial fans, ppl could dress in overalls, also those big jacks, those sliding boards you lay on, cant think what they're called.....

my 2 cents....'

good luck guys.....i c u all out there

Hi, Those sliding boards are creepers.

I used to be a mechanic and have a Big Red Toolbox ful of tools. I dont know a lot of what you all are planing, the only thing, my tool box is a Snap-on limited edition HRT one. Would be more than happy to help out the SAU stand if needed. Let me know!

If you need a pic of it i can get one!

what sayem at the meeting we talk about it.

Hi all - i guess if we all post a few ideas before sundays meeting we'll have a clearer picture of what people are thinking about etc - i personally think that we should steer well clear of a theme & simply display the cars as a part of SKYLINES AUSTRALIA CAR CLUB - keeping it simple with Skylines Australia banners flags etc & let the cars speak for themselves - i have never seen a "theme" at auto salon doesnt look "tacky & cheap" - well for sports cars anyway - (neons & chrome chequerplate & fluffy stuff & mirror balls & playtstations & tv's - can all be a bit "FLASHY" for a sportscar !!) - even toolboxes & tools everywhere could be too much!! - i always believed that pauls original idea was to display a good selection of well set up & excellently presented sports cars - this kind of approach in my opinion shows "class & style" - i couldnt imagine that a theme would do anything other than detract from the cars !! - well thats my 5 cents worth - im happy to be out voted on the day of the meeting but nevertheless need to put my thoughts across - see you all next sunday at chillies - cheers malcolm :(

I also would like to keep this autosalon simple and just display the cars and make ourselves known by the banner and other SAU items around the display...and let the cars do the do the showing as there are many other Autosalon to come that we can get bigger and better as we go along.

Thats my 2 cents aswell

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
