Dean's (KIL-08S) 200ZR should be just fine...as it was a power steering line that got a little too hot!!! from contact with an exhaust manifold runner.

200ZR - I stand corrected. That's good to hear nothing else went up with it and it was just flashing fluid!

:rofl:

Was totally buggered after the day...

I would like to thank everyone that turned up... so many commented on the total lack of dickhead factor, which is a huge acolade (sp?) for all 90+ entrants and all the specatators. There was also heaps of great comments and ideas for next year to make things run a little differently.

Also, if and of the Judges are reading through this, a HUGE thankyou must go to them... 90+ cars to be judged is a massive effort, and they stayed enthusiastic about it for the entire time... amazing!

For all those that worked tirelessly behind the sceens, Thanks you so very much, without these people these type of events just don't happen.

The sponsors and trade stalls, Thank you! I hope that you will in the comming weeks see the rewards! And I hope that you will be along again next year.

What a totally amazing day, I think one of the only downer was the wet grass from the rain last week, and I must say thank you to all people that turned up and didn't complain about putting there freshly polished cars on the grass. :P

It was a good day but I feel that some cars were UNDER Judged. I really do feel that the orginisers knew some of the winning cars and was upsetting to see the award go to other cars and I know if I mention the cars that should of won I will have alot of people up in a stir.

We did our best, and as has been said, we did our very best to select judges from all areas. But please do PM me with any suggestions that you have on how to make things better next time.

I would hope though that on the whole you enjoyed the day?

Thanks for all the feed back,

Dan.

Sam, I realise you think that your friend should have won best R34 GTR which is all good and well, but on the flipside there are also people who think that other cars were more deserving of best exterior :thumbsup:

The judges made their decisions based on a thorough criteria that was set, there was no favoritism, no bias.

Lets not get carried away and overlook the fact this was a show and shine and not Autosalon.

At the end of the day, the event was a huge success and everyone who attended seems to share the same opinion. Lets not tarnish the success of SNS 2005 with ill feelings over who did and didnt win a trophy :D

GTR32X, I was not sure which category you were pointing the issue at, but if it is the R34 GTR I agree, I thought that CYIFLY was well deserved as the best R34 at show. Please see my comments in the wrap up thread. I have even asked to see the score cards to see what I had that gave me the points. I suggest it will be the Mods that separated the score. I clearly displayed my mods list and supplied a dyno run. I think CYIFLY has just as much go fast gear but I dont think is was advertised or captured to highlight it to the judges. As a side note I did not know any of the judges who looked at my car? To be honest they looked un interested in the car and the win was a surprise. The score cards will show their opinions and differences in the cars.

You are correct. The organisers know some of the winning cars.

Do you really expect the ORGANISERS of a SKYLINES AUSTRALIA NSW CLUB - SHOW AND SHINE, *NOT* to know some of the entrant cars? Are you being serious here? :uhh:

This is exactly why we employed the services of representatives from all the SPONSORS to carry out the judging and not the ORGANISERS, so that people couldn't complain about biased judging, but I guess there's always one person who thinks that their car or their mate's car is the best and should have won every catergory offered rolleyes.gif

and was upsetting to see the award go to other cars

If you are seriously upset, because you or your mate's car didn't win a token trophy, some seat belt pads and a gearknob at a FRIENDLY Skylines Australia NSW Show 'n Shine, you really need re-assess your priorities.

Everyone was out there for a good time and to meet other Skyline owners, and all you care about is that you or your mate didn't win a trophy? Jesus :uhh:

Bins full stop.

And Paul, I was the only one of the Judges who knew your car and I didn't give it top marks. :thumbsup::D:D:D:D

Abo, as you stated, the fact you knew the car was probably a disadvantage.

Oh and by the way "Your car looked so Clean"

Ha HA!

i thought MADGTR was better than CYIFLY, but in the end they were both great cars.

Nope, I never saw "Why he flies"... Supposedly, neither did any of the judges dunno.gif

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
