went with a mate last year for the 1st and last time .. sersiouly there wasn't a single car there to admire. Yeh I missed the dyno shootout but other than that ..most the cars there were fugly ricers with real bad paintjobs. There wasn't a single car where I went zOmG I want something like that...

ok i heard a rumor. now dont quote me but apparently someone new bought tha franchise for autosalon show series and has decide that this year there will only be one autosalon in december then from next year on the normal series will be on but with a new format. aim at decent hight power cars not just all these crap sss pulsars. he want it to be more like tokyo autosalon with high end cars in it.

now that just what i heard not sure if that the case but thats the story im sticking too. :)

Really? You didn't like our 300awkw track Nur Spec? :)

Or the 550rwkw stroked and turboed V35? ;)

Or Bakes beautifully immaculate R34GTR? :devil:

Or Marijans clean, spotless, perfect GT40 equipped 500kw R32 GTR? :devil:

Or Charlies drag spec fully built, lumpy as hell 32? :devil:

Or Zilchs nicely modified, 300kw street bayside blue 33? :devil:

That's a shame...

dont think I saw any of those on there ..I think we came on the final day, 2-3 hours before close so maybe they all already packed up and left :P The 32s and 33s aren't for me ..but I would have spotted Bakes' 34 so he must have left already ..ORRRR maybe i got lost and didn't see all of the cars

SAU shown and shine should be heaps better anyway I reckon, no stupid fees and more relaxed

Yeah we we're some of the last ones out. I drove the Nur out of there that night, and except for a few cars being loaded onto trucks etc, it was the last one to leave... We had a lot to clean up, our set up is larger then most, and we sat down and ate some pizza too :P

I'm assuming you didn't see us.

Wooo good times!

Just got an email from Auto Salon, basically, no events til 2010

Statuus Corporatioon today ann ounced that the next Autto Salon event will be helld in 2010.

Havinng acquired the well-knoown Auto Salon brand in February off this year, SStatus Corpooration

strivees to maintaiin it as one of youth cultture's most rrecognised bbrands. "Wee've put into place

somee rather highh objectives for Auto Sallon" Status CCorporation'ss Director MMark Keomannivong

autommotive aftermmarket indus try, it is funddamental thaat we ensuree our event pproducts are fresh,

pioneeering and in dustry-leadinng."

Auto Salon's evennts, which haave expandeed interstate and internattionally, are tthe principle outlet

for thhe late-modeel modified caar scene. "WWhile Auto Salon is alreaady synonymmous with booth the

youthh market andd today's ennthusiast, wee are now deeveloping a new, innovaative event fformat

that will draw mmore people to our induustry while aalways stayying true to our core vaalues"

Keommanivong conntinued. "Wee made the ddecision to ddelay our eveents until 20110 because it was

moree important too get the neew formula riight instead of rushing too do '09 eveents purely for the

sake of it. With thhe backing off the industryy, we're conffident our neew event formmat will be noothing

short of groundbrr

eaking."

Whilee details of tthe new eveent format wwill be annouunced at a l ater date, SStatus Corpooration

todayy outlined th at Auto Saloon events wwill incorpora te additiona l segments of the autommotive

aftermmarket, incluuding an inc reased focu s on the funndamental pperformance sector. "Wee want

Auto Salon to bee Australia's best modifi ed car showw. By this w e want to deliver not onnly an

exciting and uniqque entertainnment packaage to the paatrons, but aalso a lucrattive and benneficial

formaat for our spoonsors and cclients" Keommanivong saaid. "Some oof the conceppts we have in the

pipeliine are very exciting, with the new foormat includi ng an evoluttion of our coompetition juudging

regulations. We' re certain iit will be eexactly whatt today's ennthusiast’s ddemand from an

internnational evennt series like ours."

2009 will see thee Auto Saloon brand colllaborate wittcan Turbo eevent held inn Abu

h the Barbic

Dhabbi. "Australia is home to truly world-cclass afterm arket brandss and manuffacturers, annd our

involvvement with the well-knoown Barbicann Turbo evennt will becomme Australia'ss outlet into ssuch a

key eexport region" Keomani vong stated . Barbican TTurbo is orgganised by UBM, one oof the

do we plan on inviting other clubs as well for some variety and numbers or will it be exclusive?

I know when we were in the EH Holden club we would have our anual show but also invite other clubs, think even open too public entry, just gave people some other stuff to look at..........but judging was seperate.

pfft autosalon....come to the SAU show n shine instead it will be bigger than Autosalon :whistling:

Late October, stay tuned

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
