I didn't get a pic either.. but i wasn't in with SAU sniff sniff. Looks like you guys really had a ball and it was great to see you picked up the club award.

The big question is will SAU be going to final battle as they are pre entered due to being club champions!

A big thank you to Patrick (and Flick) for all your hard work and also for paying out of your own pocket for elements of the SAU display. Thank you to everyone that was involved and assisted in the lead-up and during the event (you know who you are). I’d also like to say ‘thanks mate’ to Shaun (Evil34) for helping me get my car up to scratch on the Saturday morning.

Well done to all involved. Congratulations on the two club awards and Cara's individual award - not a bad effort for our first go!

Also whatsisname, NICE f**king engine bay... one of the best I have seen.

Thanks mate. It’s not finished yet… but I’m getting there.

Matts car looked hell sweet, just need a nice dyno sheet sitting with it when its done lol

Cheers Dan. Good to meet you. Agreed! Hopefully won’t be too much longer.

spewing, it wasn't up when i went and that one was of the main reason's i went!

Sorry dude! I figured the event wasn’t far off finishing up (4-5pm) so I thought I may as well close it all up. You should’ve given me a yell, I would’ve been happy to open it up for you.

Who's car has the engine bay with the Trust Coil cover??? cause omg that was soooooooo nice, one of the nicest engine bays ive ever seen on a skyline.

Yep, that’s mine. Thanks mate.

Mxtcy / Jared,

Loved both your cars, both of them are super clean and have tasteful mods, in fact every one of the SAU cars looked the goods – including the SAU members cars that were entered in Autosalon outside of the SAU entry. Puresx is outstanding and in my opinion is the epitome of a ‘useable’ show car.

i reckon heading to the final battle would be a great idea, get to see the best of cars from australia really and i hear there's some pretty powerful skylines from queensland and western australia but not sure if they're in it yet.

You could join up with SAU-NSW as I'm sure sinful or NASIIN would be keen in organising another group display. Would like to go up again if there's another track or drag day too. :P

Last time I was over a GT-R made 745awkw & Gas Motosport's 2JZ made 813rwkw.

whats ur point dan, they are all still living in the past with all that chrome shit. lol.

It's like they took their dished stuff off and put on the chrome just because its autosalon.

only one with the right idea was that 300zx. thats tough, almost overkill dish on the widebody.

    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off  
    • @99RS4just wondering if you ever took photos of the footwell lighting / how you bypassed the controller, im keen to haver footwell lighting come on when I open the doors too
