I was away all weekend and missed it :)

Though from your pics Tharaka, no phat 350z's?? disappointing :D

There was one I remember taking a photo of...

But I'm guessing there isn't many because they're still relatively new, and a bit more expensive than buying an older car...

hey guys,

good to hear some good posts about autosalon, massive turnout and the sau boys were doing what they do best. stacks of good photos on the way. what a huge weekend its been. thanks to all those who organised parts of it, as there was a fair amount of logisitics involved in arranging all the stuff, and the costs too. did anyone manage to spot the midnight purple III r34 gtr? this thing looked hot as, just like the photos we've seen. absolutely awesome. some of the cars were a bit over the top but thats what its all about. just owners who love their cars and mod them or paint them extreme. some big power makers on the dyno's stacks of cars over 300rwkw easily. ash made a massive 369rwkw. leewah made 603awkw, tymsup made 334rwkw. nigel with his supra made a big figure and tons more, i wasnt at the dyno for most of the time so some others will post up the full results. big thanks for everyone for their parts and also we had a lot of new crew on board so a big thanks and welcome to them for their efforts.. we met a lot of new people and made some really good friends. some new signups also on the way and good to meet some of the forums members and give them a tour around and put a face to the names. very helpful. thanks again everyone. photos on the way, sarahs carmera has 74 so should be a real pisser to see them all :)

big thanks again for making it a great weekend

Just a quick note to say - fantastic effort from all involved with the SAU stand at Autosalon!

A great effort by everyone to get not only our stand up and running - but also keeping the dyno operations running smoothly all weekend.

The cars looked great, the SAU representation was great - so a very positive weekend all round. Bummer about the GT4 disc getting pinched though :)

Too many names to mention everyone - but a big hand to Ash (even if he was wearing a Fangartists shirt all weekend), Chris & Bec for getting all the bits and pieces organised - and to Pete & Adz, the supreme car marshalls :D

And of course... congratulations to Leewah and the Fangartists crew for not only winning a whole bag of trophies, but returning the Autosalon dyno power record of 604 awkw to its rightfull home!

Great job all - you can all sleep with the knowledge you made the world a better place ;)

Nice!  

20d :)

What filter did you use?

ehh filter??

didn't use any filters

most of the stands there were too dark to get good shutter speeds oh well

autosalon wasn't really that great this yr it seemed smaller maybe coz of levis and girls day out events nextdoor.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
