did anyone take pics of anything else other than the sau cars :)

There wasnt a 'lot' there IMO.

S15's seem to be the latest car of choice, there were heaps of them there this year and lots of Jap/Euro cars, not a lot of Aussie made cars like past years (VLs/Blown commo's etc etc)

Its a lot of the same cars/same people now and has been for the past 3 years.

There were some good new cars around without a doubt, all the big $$$ show cars are generally different every year.

But its more the mid-level cars (which there are heaps of) that is exactly the same since '04.

One car won best wheel innovation or something, but he's had the same wheels on the car for 2-3 years now, and won that award a few times i think.

Bit silly as its hardly 'innovative' if its the same as last time :P

Thats just my thoughts anyhow. There was still enough new/fresh stuff to keep me happy!

the theme was road works. The whole display had black plastic laid over the floor. There was some white tape applied to simulate a road. There was speed humps, witches hats and other assorted road signs around the display.

wow cheers man, nice picture of my car there!

Do you have a bigger version? :wave:

Yeah, but not exactly sure which GTS4?

Let me know and I will do a page like KJ's with full size on www.Nissan-Skyline-Turbo.com

You guys did an awesome job with the club stand :)

I had just enough spare time to spend the saturday afternoon at 'chatau de skyline' and I had a fantastic time!

Wasn't too interested in the rest of the rice around, come to think of it, the quality of the cars there were pretty average, but the quality of the promo ladies (inc those saucy SAU ones :wave: ) was fantastic!

Overall I give the day 4.5 stars out of 5 with SAU present, if SAU weren't there, it would be more like 2 out of 5 stars :laugh:

Special mention goes out to the Allure girls too - great stand.

First Autosalon I actually enjoyed.

I would say Friday night was the best.

So who actually won the club display?

Conrates 2 Allure!

We (melbs15.com) won best club performance! None of us dont know what that was judged on? But were happy! :wave:

Hi guys,

I am one on the Autosalon event crew....the guy with the ponytail, who was guiding cars to and from the dyno.

Anyway, great show and good spot SAU got as well. But for the red r32 and silver r33 or r32 to park horizontal....hmm..I reckon should have parked on an angle even though many other people do that as well. Horizontal is good but you don't get to get a good look at the front as well. The Red r32 had no problem there...just the silver one.

And SAU did pretty good on the dyno as well. Spewing i didn't film them. Hard to take photos and work at the same time. The only photos I took were before and after the show when it was closed to the public.

The only video i did get was the RH9's GTR r34 clocking at 724.8kw on sunday and ESP's Supra, that stuffed up on sunday, getting around 448kw. (saturday it did 669kw). Though i stuffed up as well. Sound was turned off on my camera so just the video it is :-(

Anyway, here are some pics of other skylines there and that 669kw Supra with fatass Garrett turbo. I will let the SAU team send photos of their cars.

(these have been resized...i still have hi-res on home comp)

See you in April next year for the next Autosalon.

Cheers

RH9 is there again sporting a nice T88-GK rather than the 3542s of previous years. Expecting to see well over 750awkw from that.

can ayone lead me to some pics of this car? bay preferably.

G,day guys... I was over from adelaide with PURESX the blue 180 for the weekend.

I thought it was a good show, lots of nice 'lines there too. Personal fave was the blue nismo S1 R34 and of course who didn't like the RH9 car!?.

Was good to chat to Leewah and see some of your local cars... keep it up guys...

cheers, M.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
