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.)

    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
