Seeing as no-one else has started any threads... here's mine..

I took about 1gb of pics, and managed to shrink it down to 30mb, so rather than making a thread that kills connections, I made a site for it, and split it into 7 pages so it loads easy

Link: http://www.tharaka.com/Autosalon/

Enjoy.

Umm, I dunno if you wanna make this thread the official thread or whatever.. :cheers:

Oh, and if you want hi-res pics, just PM or email me.

Skylines were everywhere

Oh and the "MYSHOW" S15 pumped out a whopping 110Kw !!! What huge power. They were even making excuses for it. Awww he only gives it 3/4 throttle so the gold plating doesnt go off and the only reason he is on the dyno is to get points.

Nice pics taka, u must of gone early coz it doesent look like there are alot of people around in the backgrounds of the pictures

Thanks, yea, I got there at around 10:45 or so, there was no-one in the line which was really good.

Then left at like 3:30 after it got boring, and you can see the line in the last photo.

wat was the ratio of skylines to other cars?

Yeah there were heaps of Skylines, at least 20. Obviously lots in the SAU stand, Fangartists and various other stands. For me the SAU stand was the best because it represented the best of what you'd call "street" machines, the kind of cars you can drive without getting too much unwanted attention.

I caught up with Paul and Scott at the SAU stand who both have great looking cars and Paul was helpful in explaining alot of things I was wondering about the R33 Series 2. Got some ideas for future mods too :)

I fogot my digital camera but there was a guy selling a CD of pics he took before the show opened, so there are lots of nice clean shots without people getting in the way. It was $20 but worth it, especially as i'm a crap photographer anyway.

So if you haven't gone, you should before it closes, and if your reading this after its closed and you wished you'd gone, you missed a great show!

And leewah(don't know if thats the right spelling) got his Dyno King crown back by 1kW, which he had previously lost to a competator at Brisbane Autosalon.

Great show..

Mike

Nice pics!

Did any1 else see the rear wheel of this car? :)

IMG_3241.jpg

Yeah, i thought the angle looked a bit farked (toe-out on the rears :( ). Even in the engine bay some piping was missing, wouldn't know why?

Nice shots there Tharaka :). Was a pretty good day overall yesterday, and congratulations to Leewah for breaking the AWKW record! Was right next to the fence on the rear-quarter of the car. Recorded the run with my cousins phone and my cousin recorded that run on his digital camera. We'll try and put em up for download. Great run there, loved the flamage! Made my day......

......Great setup SAU guys! All of your cars look terrific; great display of superb skylines!

Steve.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
