A Date has been set is to be sunday september 10th........... there has been a show of interest in a show and shine at the first meet point before the actual cruise, gives all a chance to pretty up thier babys and show em off unofficially.

There has been a tentative booking made for a pre-cruise meet/show n shine at Albert Park Lake we will have the Swan Picnic Grounds & Car park <map 2K ref G5> from 9am - 12.30pm (the car park has enough spaces for 50 -60 cars) and cruise to Princess Park in Queenscliff <map 487 ref A12>there will be a cost of $10 ($5 for the use of albert park & $5 to the variety club) for the pre-meet/show n shine and need a minimum of 50 cars so get the word out and lets make this worthwhile

to just join the cruise it'll be a donation of $5 to the variety club.

also just to let you all know we are supporting Sheen Panel Service Car 55 in thier efforts to raise $35000.00 for this years bash to be the highest fundraiser. there will be collection tins circulated on the day to collect the donations!!!!!

hope to see you all there.

as there has not been enough interest in the pre-meet/show n shine this event will just be a cruise meeting at albert park at 12.00pm departing at 12.30pm

still a charity cruise $5.00 donation to the variety club, there have been stickers made for all those who make a donation.

the cruise is to queenscliff it will roughly cover 50-100kms

hope to see plenty of you there.

i was about to say that im there coz i still havent attended any SAU events since joining the forums but i checked the calendar and that is when im getting my audio and alarm installed. :)

I wish to attend but I am not in any club. Can i still attend the event. I have some mate too that might want to bring there cars. Is there a restriction on what cars can come.

your a member of this club arnt you?

feel free to come along as well as you have a nissan or mitsu.

No i am not a member of SAU yet but would possibly like too. I live out in gippsland and I am not sure i would make good use of my member ship if i joined. Is a bit far to travel all the time to participate. Depends on how much extra money i have at the time. I am in melb currently so i should easily be able to make it.

Considering this is posted in the general events section, I'd say its open to all forum members.

You only need to be an SAU-Vic member to attend our SAU-Vic cruises/events, and they're the ones you wouldnt know about, unless you had access to the members only events section :O

Hey hey there is my car. I saw the person taking that top pic in the car behind me. Was looking in the mirror and said to my mate "that dudes got a camera i think n taking a pic". Good stuff. I will have to keep an eye out for future cruises.

    • 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
