AutoSalon 2004 - less than 2-months to go...


Recommended Posts

I typed a big post before... but it logged me out.

Anyhow.

R34 GTR wheels will fit my car if R32 GTR wheels still dont sit out enough :O

and R33-t wheels dont even fit on my car due the offset.

But as for everything else... Good ideas coming out here.

Dont forget that this wont all come cheaply.

Last year (as some may not know) there was a bit of a hand from the guys at BMT to get us, and our stand to MAS.

Just remember in your ideas, to try think costs, and economy.

I dunno if a joint stand will occur at this stage, but if it does not... then we will have to think very smart.

While i sound like a poo etc etc... these things need to be remembered.

Other than that, any idea is a good idea!

And if we can 'borrow' things from here and there for the weekend, it'll work in our favour.

I think we all learnt a lot from last year that should make this year a SH(T load better in planning and execution (remember the t-shirts)

But yeah. I've got no ideas at the current. But if i think of something... then it'll get posted :zap:

as a question guys, what do we have left from last yrs event that we can salvage for this yrs?

also i think that if someone can look into getting prices for hiring fencing (or whateva its called), prices for t shirts / banners and associated items we might be able to get the ball rolling

basically nowadays, if someone brings me one for a mod, or a repair, i just say to the ppl that want mods, $450, they ask why i say $300 for a new PS2, $150 for the chip :) for those that want a repair i quote $300, flat rate, they ask why, you guessed it :)

lol narky, the older the model of PS2, the shitter the design of the laser and motherboard, nothing to brag about, the most current one u get in the shops however, is WAY ahead of the others, like WAY ahead...

pft! mine is like a 30002, one of the first ones. Since then haven't had ONE problem, still working fine chipped and all. Fired up GT3 the other day .. built a nice s13 drift racer.. man that game rocks!

gt4.. drools.. then drools some more, then wipes drool and drools a little more.

i was talking about the GT3 game f00!

I have about 45min of skid-pan footage

Also have about 1000 pics that can be put on a cd and played via a DVD player or computer (better image res. on computer)

Keen to play a part in this show, including entering my car.

Those t-shirts were my curse last year...

Myabe this time we do just one design - even I can't screw that up :P

I still have the big BF Goodrich R34 banner and all the PS2 link hardware.

Investigating some light-truss towers.

Ula - would love to have your car!

Fencing... can be 'borrowed' possibily :P

Heh - I don't know what you mean...

Maybe a meeting next week for people who want to be involved?

Pizza and drinks to talk about ideas?

Depending on the dvd player the jpeg's load up real slow.

I have my 119cm widescreen tv, but i aint to keen lugging that 60kg thing around.

There are a number of oportunities coming up to get more footage if we want to make a dvd.

We have the GOR cruise coming up.

Another skidpan weekend coming up

I have track days this weekend and mid march

Al was looking at a DECA day/weekend before the end of March

There will be skylines at the Drift Nationals

Im SURE we can arrange a day/night at Heathcote/Calder

Other day or night cruises can be arranged with short notice.

If someone has the facilities to take footage then Im sure we can make a pretty kick ass mixed dvd without too many problems.

James mentioned the idea of a racing theme - theme's are good in my opinion. As a slight variance to a racing theme could be a general motorsport theme including circuit, drag and drift. Show the versitility of the skyline as the ultimate motor sports car.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
