This is a great start.

Anyone have any ideas on the type of display / props we should use? (if any at all)

it could be a mock up of the drags, a garage/workshop scene etc. etc.

If we need to print up cardboard number plates with a logo on them let me know and I can do it at work on the colour laser printer (to meet the concerns about cops collecting rego numbers)

Do we have any workshops/companies out there that would like the added attention that this many hot cars will attract? They could possibly set up a display alongside or in amongst our cars. (perhaps D1, AutoPro Tilbrook, MorePower or others)

**** da police .... if we don't take our cars out at all, or sell them and buy falcodores instead, then they win. Yes getting defected sucks, but we can't not live our lives in fear. And as for the 'there will be a defect station here, here and here' .... just look at what DIDN'T happen at drift day (which was supposedly going to be defect city) - I only saw 1 copper all the way home - and he had pulled over a commondore :)

Matt, did you get a chance to talk to Shaun at Boost Worx?

Anyone have any ideas on how we could/should display the cars?

I will send out PM's later to those who have expressed interest in attending with details on how to pay and dates etc.

Oops! Sorry mate. I forgot to update the thread!

I did have a chat to Shaun about Autosalon. But as it costs ~2-2.5k for a trader stand he has decided he probably won't enter. :(

Shaun is willing to offer free dyno runs to those who are entering so they can display a current dyno sheet with whatever info and format they want. So we could all have a dyno sheet with 'Skylines Australia' in a large eye catching font, all done in the same style/format, and of course it would also have Boost Worx on it.

If we go with a 'drag' theme (my personal preference) then those of us with timeslips could add a copy of their PB slip to the dyno sheet.

Maybe we could have a drift and drag theme? Steve's car is perfect for a drift/circuit theme and mine for drag. The others could pick which option they want to go for and then display the two themes side by side.

The drag theme is easiest to set-up. We just need a christmas tree (drag lights), a mock burnout/launch area and waiting lanes.

<- in

provided my schedule allows.

Excellent Paul :D We've got to have the GT-R represented under the SAU banner!

Having a 'Skylines Australia' display without the almighty GT-R would be a bit like drinking zero-alcohol beer :(

Edit: The only bummer is you wouldn't be able to do a dyno run on the Boost Worx dyno :( Unless Shaun did the remove shaft option?

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
