Well all you young pups how good are ya.The silver haired old man is about to purchase an R33 GTT so stand aside or lose a limb. :)

Hi everybody Total SAU noob but a skyline devotee since before some of you were born. I spent my younger years Cruisin, clubbin, draggin, short circuit racing and a variety of other motoring shenanigans in a variety of cars including HT 350 bathurst Monaro, SLR 5000 torana, several red hot mini cooper S' and a few other nondescript hotrods of varied performance and questionable condition.

As happens so often I got caught by a sheila and got married and had a couple of kids so the fun had to stop.

I spent the next 20 years driving a boring range of cars from a 180B, 200B, 2.4 skyline (damn good car) 3 litre aussie skyline several nissan patrols (currently own a TI 4.8 litre with some mild mods) and A couple of maximas. Wifes current ride is an 05 TI Max. (what a sweet ride)

Underlying all of this has been a burning desire to own a hot skyline. Ever since those gibson motor sports gtrs rammed it up dick johnson and HDTs arse I have worshipped at the skyline alter. Funniest event in motorsport was listening to Johnson cry a river claiming foul on the gtrs after he had dominated in the cosworth sierras for a couple of seasons. Jim Richards winning speech at bathurst lives in my mind as the greatest oratory in aussie motor sport. (for those too young to recall his words were something as follow to the the sorelosin gm and blue oval fans) YOU ARE A PACK OF ARSEHOLES

Nuff of that nonsense. I am going to tune a 2.5 R33 to somewhere around 240/250RWKW and play my heart out. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and sharing info, Ideas, and general bs sessions.

I wish to drag, circuit, and partake in activitys such as fun runs etc with others of a like mind.

I would like to join the queensland skylind clup (or whatever its called) and start enjoying what my soul has been craving for over 20 years. PERFORMANCE :)

Rules of engagement are simple. No taking it easy on the old fart cos, given the chance I will kick the crap outta ya and rub it in hard when you are down. I takes my lumps like a man and i dish them out like a mongrel so give me all ya got or dont play.

Just coming on here has made me feel years younger already. Just tell me where and when it all happens and lets have a ball. :P

Will definitely partake in both as time allows Nathan. I already like it here so it should be fun.

As a matter of interest, Am I the only old fart who chose a skyline over a harley as a midlife regression or are there other geriatrics around like me. :)

LOL. And one day I may just find myself in a gtr bloke. For now I just want a good rear wheel drive skyline to test the waters.

How do I find out what activitys and events are happenning and how do I join the club.

Welcome Noel, have a look at this thread in regards to joining SAU QLD it should answer most of your questions.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
