I stand corrected - just got the e-mai lol.

Auto Salon hosts a HIGH-TECH performance Automotive Show on the Golf Course Fairway (that's right people we're back on the golf course) only metres from the back straight. It's a great weekend for everyone to catch up and a good excuse to check out the race. This year, it falls on the 26th - 29th March.

Its a fantastic opportunity for all us car lovers to bring the Auto Salon Event Series fourth and show what we're all about and we've got to offer. It also gets the year started for all you Victorians as your Auto Salon round won't be back in Melbourne until the 2nd half of the 2009.

All show and shine competitors receive the following:

* One Official Grand Prix 4 day Accreditation Pass

* One General Admission 4 day Pass

* The chance to win one of the 15 trophies awarded in various categories

* It will also allow you to watch 'THE WHOO' concert from the General Admission Area

That's over $350.00 worth of value for less than 1/2 price!!

Entry costs $160 for a private car or $140 if you are a club and have 6 or more cars attending. As a bonus, interstate competitors get discounted entry at $100.00. No matter how you look at it that's a saving and even more reasons to come along.

Cars will need to be at the venue on Wednesday 25th March and must remain at the Auto Salon Stand until Sunday 29th March (7:30pm).

The entry form is attached and due to the short notice we ask you to please fill in and RETURN ASAP to ENSURE PARTICIPATION as there are limited spots available.

SAU-Vic at this stage, wont be attending.

Between the two offers - CAMS/Cabin… they both cannt confirm where the cars will be located.

After the rather 'poor' location leading to cars being covered from nose to tail in brown dust (as they were parked on DIRT)... until the position is actually confirmed as grass, pavement or other suitable area for a car show'n'shine/displace. We've told these two bodies we really are not interested.

Honestly I would never want to put members and their cars in the situation that occurred last year. It was nothing short of appauling.

I dont think its fair to ask people with expensive paint work and so on to park in a dirt area for 4 days.

I believe Cabin have 'said' it will be on the grass like years before... but until I see that in writing we are not going to accept that as things have been 'said' in past years and we know better :)

Hopefully that clarifies the situation a little better for you and the goings on in the background that Bec/myself have been dealing with the last 2 months on/off

Cheers

Bought a grandstand ticket this year, so definately not putting my car in. Hopefully you guys end up putting some cars in so I have some people to talk shit with (and drink with).

They jacked the price up a bit this year though!

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
