Hi All.

I had an awsome day on Sunday, and a big thanks to all the organisers and SAU people.

I was surprised to beat Malcom,s awsome Nismo R33GTSt, but very happy I won.

*Does anyone have any pics of my car MPH459, my pics didn't turn out that good.

Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words but just so it is clear my car is in no way sponsored and never has been. It has been my hard work that has paid for it. I just don't like the idea of people thinking its a sponsored car when it isn't and i've worked hard to get it. Although i can't give Advan enough credit for the awsome job they did on it.

Back on topic  :)  Looking forward to an even bigger and better show next year  :D

I stand corrected - fair enough it's a nice car too :D

I think I saw a card with the mods listed and a few advan stickers parked with a couple of other advan cars and I just assumed - sorry no offense intended.

:)

Id also like to agree that the s14 that picked up best non skyline should have not also picked up best engine bay (rb26 or not), Id also like to agree that does this mean that it also should have picked up a best gtr as well ?!?!?

Maybe a proposal for next year with regard to this trophy may be that there is a "Best non-Skyline Engine Bay" and a "Best Skyline Engine Bay" trophy.... or the category be re-named to "Best Skyline Engine Bay".... its all about letting the committee know what you liked and what might work better for all next year, it can only get better that way :)

I think given this years numbers and the shows growth rate, it may be a possibilty to increase the number of categories to include Skyline and non Skyline awards..... but this is obviously up to the organisers :)

I did a rough, back of the coaster calculation on the day - and I reckon there was close to $3Million ($3,000,000.00) worth of Skyline at the show on Sunday -  

 

That's a lot of Skyline :D :D

I would say a fair bit more than that actually.... 100 cars makes them only worth $30k on average each working it out at that value. A few cars, such as GRACER and the 34GTR's, would cost at least 6 figures to build or buy

What a fantastic idea - I think that with a possible 100+ cars entering next year that the event could afford to spread the love about more by having at least 30 categories to help ensure that most of the cars entered were appropriately considered for their often unique and original attributes - this will also help to ensure a friendly and sportsmans like atmoshere as the event grows and that the focus of the day is on all of the various cars entered and the individual tastes and influences of their owners - cheers Malcolm.

I think another one mentioned several times would be "Best Skyline Factory example"! This will cater for the non modified original cars.

I'll second this idea! Not that I'll be in the running for that category,though,LOL!

I like those ideas of having more categories, and I am by no means discounting them at this stage... the only problem with more categories is the time it takes to judge, collate and award them.

Do you guys have suggestions on how we can streamline this process, I understand that this is a slightly difficult question as your not totally in the know with the way judging was done this year, but any suggestion is a good one.

Cheers,

Dan.

I would make the judging easier my grouping the cars.

For example when the cars were being parked. R34 GTR's are located all together, R34 GTT etc etc. This will allow catagory by catagory to be done quickly. The sub total of exterior etc etc can then be pulled out.

I think this will also allow people to get some great pics as well

majanal, i agree

idea for next year people:

BEST R31 GX

BEST R31 GXE

BEST R31 EXECUTIVE

BEST R31 SILHOUETTE Series 1/2

BEST R31 SILHOUETTE Series 3

BEST R31 TI Series 1/2

BEST R31 TI Series 3

BEST HR31 GTS

BEST HR31 GTS-X

BEST HR31 GTS-R

BEST HR31 GIBSON MOTORSPORT RACECAR

that should make everyone happy.

Thanks Oz, that is what I was thinking... will require more parking attendants, and also for prizes to be awarded throughout the day hopefully.

Keep the suggestions coming, unfortunatly I don't have any T-Shirts to hand out... but you will get the Respect!

(and to the guys that asked me to come back with some shirts for comments, I didn't forget, just got busy counting, and when I looked up everyone had moved there cars onto the parking area and I had lost you.)

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
