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.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
