course you can, no point in having lots of cars if nobody can go see em!

I just would have thought they'd explain the spectator part a bit better. Website nor JDMST says anything about entry prices or whether its a closed off event or if anyone walking on the yarra can get a look see.

I like the idea though, Auto Salon with fresh air and a view + music + food should be awesome. Wonder if next year theyll get a bigger venue and start getting stalls for parts etc. like with ARC meets.

I remember reading somewhere that it's open to the public so anyone can come and have a look, entry is free for spectators i believe.

Also will it be a night time or day time event?

Daytime, from about 9am (i think) to 5pm finish

Entrant Fee goes towards organisation of the event, hiring the location, permits, advertising, keeps the bogans in "SOFRESH" plated VN Commodores away and stops people doing skids because the event organisers have all the details of the cars and their owners.

They'll be making a profit, which hopefully will all be put towards the next event and improve the scene with higher quality events :)

I'd guess that some of the entry fee is probably being used to bring some of the 'show' cars down from Sydney also. <br /><br />No doubt these guys are running it like a business and will aim to make a profit. From the little I know about events, its pretty rare they make money on the first time because there are always unexpected costs so maybe they have built a bit more fat into the entry cost than necessary. But I guess if you don't like that then you don't have to enter your car - you can still attend the show on foot for free. <br /><br />What I would like to see from the though, is some better communication - they're doing a great job of building the hype on social media, but as an entrant I've only received one email, requesting my payment and nothing else. Hopefully they will increase the flow of information closer to the date once things have fallen into place.<br /><br />On another note - I went down to the location on the weekend, so long as they don't jam the cars too close together, it should be an awesome lay out and lots of foot traffic.

      @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline

      Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best.

      Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things

      I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
