These new anti afilliation laws will be interesting as far as enforcing them. I haven't read the fine print yet but I did get pulled over by avatar near Darlington recently to see if & who I was associated with. I'm wondering whether dealing with an outlaw biker through his legitimate bike business for parts etc is allowed? Or whether socializing with clubs that aren't necessarily branded as outlaw clubs like the Long Riders, Vietnam Vets, Ulysses & CMA (Christian Motorcycles Association) will be tolerated?

My mate & I have been invited to one of their clubrooms next Friday night & we're actually contemplating it, moreso out of curiosity.

Well my dad was a member of viet vets and has friends in both VV and Ulysses... theyre all straight people, so if they get affected by this it'll do absolutely nothing positive for the community. As far as the association rules, I think theyre a load of BS personally. It totally contrary to democratic ideal of 'free assembly' and since its one of those moronic state laws, it'd most likely get overthrowin in the supreme court (if of course you have the money to chase such a goal.) In either case, its a pre-emptive punishment for a marginal group in society, who have not been proved guilty of anything illegal. Thats why its such a waste of money. Whatever comes of this, it'll just meen months of legal wrangling until it inevitably gets thrown out of court. Magistrates are going to be doing a lot of verbal bashing the police prosecution in the next year I think... we might not have a bill of rights but we do have 100 years of legal precedence to draw from, and this is clearly outside the box.

Its interesting that other states wont go down Rann's road even now that he has set the stage......I'm guessing they're scared of the ramifications.

I'm pretty certain the groups I mentioned (don't know about the Longriders yet) would be exempt from the "Anti Afilliation" laws but where do you draw the line between an outlaw in one of the exempt clubs and an outlaw club, and furthermore how the hell are they going to enforce these laws. If I get pulled over for associating with any of these exempt guys who turns out to be an outlaw, and I state that I wasn't aware of his history, what can they do, how do I know if he has a shady past?!

Although I'm sure Rann means well in cleaning up the state, he has unfortunately set the stage for outlaw clubs to settle their differences (even if only temporarily) and join forces financially to fight this in the High Courts......do you know how much drug & gun money they can put together, enough to drain the states coffers (tax payers money).

On the other hand, spokes people and lawyers for the government have said it would be pointless fighting these new laws in court because they are water tight....me thinks they are trying to bluff the bikers because they know they would run out of our tax payers money before they do!!

Hey Damo,

The stock guage does not actually read bar it read some other silly measurement. The nismo guage reads bar but if you want PSI you have to replace the guage completely like nightcrawler has!!!

Swing him a PM to see what is required.

yeah kg/cm2 or something like that. I was trying to avoid replacing the guage altogether, because if i change one, all three need to change otherwise it will look crap.

Ill pm him later, cheers Evil

mmHGx`1000, its a measure of mercury pressure at sea level. Pointless in automotive application tbh since bar and psi are much much easier (mmHG and bar are both metric, psi is imperial).

I too would like to find out what needs to be done, cause mmHG is craptastic.

totally agree pete....

i need to get a clutch for my 5speed thats going into the 31 (rb30e clutch)

which 1 and where shoud i get it from ? Read on the 31sky.club at my options and the xtreme HD sounds like the go, being only 25% stiffer over the standard (idem no. KNI24001DHD). How much am i looking at ?

Also do i need a new flywheel or can i use my current 1 thats in with the auto (obviously get it machined)???

thanks

i have a feeling it would be at the cops decision, is it like the hoon laws that you are guilty until YOU can provide enough evidence to persuade a judge of your association with the accused people?

pretty well much just writing insurance policies for customers. No grey imports though :teehee: good pay, thinking about selling the 33 as i bus it at the moment and see what i can save up to get a nice car - preferably one that works

haven't been to bad, gonna try and sort out some dates for the go karting this week so we can all catch up (or a ale house parmy night your sig is teasing me)

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
