Show was really good i thought.

Not many GTR's, turbo 4 and 6's -alot of V8 and the sort - but the cars that were there either were historic and in fantastic condition or well engineered.

Pissed all over Autosalon and other ricer shows.

The crap ricers were kept to a absolute minimum....

I enjoyed it.

I went , and thought it was ok for the $15, but thought that it was a bit boring, other than checking out lots of cars there wasn't much else happening. The dyno comp at the Dome is in a much better position than at the Convention Center, and some huge power figures. I hope the show continues to grow, and incorporates more Import cars.

I went on Sunday. Got there just before the C-Red GTR went on the dyno (lucky). Wasnt bad for $15 even though it was a holden and ford fest mostly. Quality of most cars wasnt to bad though. Did anyone else think that the 1500hp ute looked like it stuffed its motor? there was smoke pissing out of the engine bay

Yeah it was OK

Couple of horrid (IMHO) Imports which had so much metalflake in the paint looked like they'd been attacked by a gang of Fairys. (Magical type not tradesmen)

An LS1 powered 33 with lower dyno HP than other GTS's was interesting.

Best fun was counting the Mullets :D

Yeah, the AME show was previously the Ford vs. Holden show. Was nice to see how they put on there shows, but other than the price being good, I couldn't see anything they do theat we don't.

I agree that a couple of the imports did look shit, but C-red's and Xspeed displays were nice :P

I thought 15 simoleans for entry was pretty good, got some pics of the few imports that were there. My brothers and I actually saw more imports in the carparks than there were in the show, including a bayside blue R34 GTR and several R32 GTR's and Supras. That LS1 R33 was freaky, but the twin exhaust was sweet! I was a little dissapointed at the absence of any Supras, but I was a fan of the Dodge RT/10 on display. But yeah it was a mullet and Ford/Holden fest, and waaaay too many chrome rims for my liking.

    • What does everyone think about PSR vs Garrett? I've got a genuine G30-770 but would probably get away with a G35-900 because I've got a sequential. Are the real ones worth more than double the price?
    • @Duncan That's good to know. The luck I've been having with the car lately, a part of me was thinking something has gone wrong which is why the voltage is lower now.
    • That makes sense @Kinkstaah Would that mean the car would run as it always has until I get the tune? I’m just asking because I’m trying to understand whether I should try and get injectors and tube done at the same time. (I’d still need to drive from one place to another)   But I don’t want the car to run rich or crap itself while it’s got higher capacity injectors without a tune. Hope that makes sense? 
    • Sorry I can't explain they why, but I've observed voltage is always higher at cold start. 
    • so, while bored at work this week was going through some build threads and saw CRSKmD's thread and saw the free cooling improvements in the front end just by trying to direct the air better and thought i wonder how my car looks. basically, it's terrible gaps from every single point and so with some time today decided to start and tackle that.  nice and easy one to start filling in the gap at the top between the body and radiator.   then while jacking the car up found this fun surprise, never thought i would have to move it as my car isn't exactly stance nation spec but anyway decided to fix that first. so trimmed it back abit applied some primer and used some old rubber hose around all the edges to ensure it wont rub through secured it all down and while putting the fender back on realised the headlight bolt to fender wasn't installed so chucked a new one and now the headlight actually lines up with the body so big win there.   sorry for the poor pictures but went for covering up the gap between the intercooler and radiator and it took me longer than i would like to admit.   the indicators have always been really saggy and had huge gaps between them so tried to improve that and then cover up the gaps still in place to try and stop the air getting in behind them.     some awesome trimming work has been done to fit the massive China intercooler that used to be on the car but ran out of time to fix that up today sadly so plenty more to do
