Hi guys, I'm looking to join a skyline club. I've had my Black R33 skyline for other 12 months now and i always see a lot of skyline's coming into Shepparton, like the weekend just gone.

I'm totally new to car events and computer nerd by trade and could do with a friendly club to help learn ropes and more about my car.

The skyline nats are this weekend With any luck I’ll get myself entered, I think i spoke to someone a while ago at a bbq that was down at local park here in Shepparton, would be nice to join up and maybe meet some people over the weekend.

Shep laps are cool! Maybe we could work a reciprocal arrangement out as Shep is definately a tops place to visit.

have you seen that pink r33 around town? terrible :(

Hey David,

I think you may have spoken to me at the BBQ, in the park. If i remember correctly it was a FEW months ago (if not last year) and probably on the Sunday morning/lunch time. If that is the case, you took your time joining :).

Well hope to see ya around and participating at our events. Would be good to have a local guide us round the town's hot spots, after Taco Bells, on the Saturday night. ;)

Sweet thanks, will pm you soon.

Ok I will be posting this else where for everyone.

I work for local newspaper here in shep and Country new Auto is like a sub publication we do. I'm wanting to ask any members if they would be willing to come out to newspaper on Friday some time and get there picture taken with there car's and even perhaps answer a few questions for an article about the event. I will also be taking photos over the weekend for a spread that may run in following week’s paper. Might be a good bit of promotion for the club.

Thanks again.

'Cars Weekly' by any chance?

No Country News, There part of like a rival rag. where much bigger than that. Country news isn't just Shepparton, it's sent to benalla,seymour,echuca,cobram and many more.

Anyone know if Cars Weekly are doing anything?, they sometimes have good looking chick model with some of there cars.

Anyone know of any of Shepparton members? i see other skylines here but don't know there drivers.

'patche' was a member, but he's only here to sell his car I believe. (wants $10k!). "ITURNER" aka Dave was here, but he since sold his nice looking 33 and only has his 34 left. Which is also for sale. The only other member I can think of is NUTR33, but to be honest I am not sure if he is even still around in Shepparton.

As far as I am aware there aren't any (that I have seen) SAU Skyline owners in Shepparton. Members that is.

From the north end of Shepparton, Deca is just up road from me. I'm near the hospital.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
