Autosalon 2004

[Clint32]

when is it? if my car is done then i may be interested, need a 32 in the mix and one that will stand out and compete in the dyno comp

[whatsisname]

I'm not sure mate? I'm guessing it must be a month or two away? July maybe? Someone on here will know.

[4door_Sleeper]

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)

[4door_Sleeper]

Its on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of July, and would cost $60 per car.

[whatsisname]

Oops! Missed that bit

I'll have a word to Shaun (Boost Worx) tomorrow re workshop input. He already mentioned he was going to have a stand at the AS.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Hmm my car is gay. Plus i have exams...

[MattR]

if ive got other planned mods done in time ill be in 200+ rwkw sounds fine:) need time slip as well

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

My only concern would be... can't cops come into the show and start defecting? I thought they had done it before? Or was that somewhere else?

If I can get my stereo finished then I 'might' enter. But then I am worried that I am promoting my stereo as "steal me".

[TIMMMAYYY]

I think they did that as cars left the show mel

[Nightcrawler]

**** 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

[P1E]

I'm planning a pretty big night on July 2nd, so I might not be able to make it. Unless the cars go in on Friday morning, in which case I might come. Will my car be safe there for half of Saturday without me? Will be even keener if I have my bodykit fitted and painted in time.

[4door_Sleeper]

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.

Excellent Paul 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?

Here's the updated list of "potential" entrants:

4door_Sleeper (R33 GTS25t 4dr)

whatsisname (R33 GTS25t)

Envisage (R34 GT-t)

cell (R34 GT-t)

Nightcrawler (S15 200SX)

Steve (R33 GTS25t)

skipppy (R33 GTS25t 4dr)

Clint32 (R32 GTS-t)

Pawley (R33 GT-R)

MattR (S14 200SX)

[Pawley]

i've taken that option in the past.

wouldnt worry me, provided we can borrow a hoist.

like i said though, im not sure if i have uni coinciding with the autosalon though (fingers crossed)

[chops]

Plenty hoist available at Boost Worx Pawley, so that part is easy.
