Tenegah have a deal on supply and fitting of genuine Exedy's http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ex...rt-t279096.html Be very careful of some of those "too good to be true" prices, as quite often they use some non-genuine parts in there kits.

Can I be your friend ?

Exedy HD is really good

There's not too many people who can handle 45min in a Kart that is vibrating to buggery, so you'll find even with two drivers you'll pit a couple times each.

The Tuning event is usually on there little circuit and does not include any driver training or instructors, but they will keep an eye on you to make sure that you don't do silly things. They are a good event to do once you have recieved some driver training, but I'm sure you'll have fun regardless. Whilst the track looks really simply, there are a few interesting technicalities.

Tom, If you need someone, I'll go with you, but don't pit on the last lap ok

Congrats

Yep, mid-week cruises are not much good for those of us who work early, but I guess it will suit Uni students

The factory ECU doesn't run overly rich if you leave the car standard, but if you start to modify the car (exhaust, intake, turbo etc), then the stock ECU will over compensate, and overfuel. For minor mods you can just get an SAFC, which modifies the signals to the stock ECU, and helps control the fueling. A well tuned aftermarket ECU will provide the right amount of fuel for the mods it has been tuned for, but if you change the mods it will require to be tuned again. Hope that helps.

This thread shows where to pick-up the voltage and illumination wiring from http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Po...ts-t273839.html

Most likely be a Sunday morning cruise, ending up with a late lunch at Mindarie.

We could do a cruise along the coast and up to Mindarie, that way there are plenty of places to eat at the cafe's there. If people are keen I'll write the cruise map.

I'll check for you when I get home

I agree the whole Voltmeter thing is a waste of time, if the car doesn't start, you don't have enough volts Anyway, all my wiring have been done to the wires behind the ashtray underneath the Stereo, you should have access there to all the +12V, GND and Illumination wiring for the cigarette lighter. Splice the wires and solder is best, but you can buy connectors that simply pierce the wire without the need for cutting.

For the exact reason that you guys would think of organising a cruise through Northbridge

Umm, mods and SAUWA are two different things. Mods moderate SAU (the forums), and SAUWA Committee moderates what the SAUWA Club does. Hope that explains the difference. And yes, Northbridge would be a complete fail

Any suggestions for a final meet point ? Don't forget there is a reasonable chance of rain these days, so somewhere with undercover BBQ's would be good. If you suggest a good spot, I'll make the cruise.

RyRy, I already told you to ditch the POS A-LSD and put in the whole GTR rear diff and cradle. It was one of the best mods I ever did. I may still have my old CIG locker if you prefer I had the GTR diff shimmed up, to give it more bite, but that's for higher power and track racing reasons.

SAUWA is the club, but if you want to organise normal monthly Skyline Cruises, then please feel free, but make sure that people are aware it's not affiliated with the SAUWA Club.

I've found the additives make the plugs look organge. White plugs tend to indicate that the AFR's are too lean. Best bet is to put it on a dyno, and get the AFR's measured. It may be something as simple as a stuffed fuel pump.

The first of the AHG Driver Training events is now up in the SAUWA Members area, with the possibility of running a second event if there is enough interest. Obviously you need to be a SAUWA member first. If you don't want to join the club, then you're best off calling AHG directly to see if they have any open events happening soon.

Yes, it has been done before, Ant Scali has done it in his GTR. Looks really neat and still works well

Are you talking about AHG track or Wanneroo track ?

The first of the AHG Driver Training events is now up in the SAUWA Members area, with the possibility of running a second event if there is enough interest. A number of the SAUWA Members do track days at Barbagello, but we do this with the No Limits Car Club http://www.nolimitevents.com/, as you need about 35+people to break even on the cost of an event like that. There are alsp HillClimb runs etc at Jack's Hill, but they are also run by other clubs. Cheers Paul

Chris, To be honest, I doubt anyone not based out of there backyard would do this, too many safety issues if something went wrong. I'd have thought someone would swap a set of 4-stud rims for your 5-stud ones, or are you chasing a particular brand that doesn't come in 4-stud ? You can always check with Alliance Rim Repair whether they do it, and whether it is safe. http://www.alliancerimrepairs.com.au
