Hi all,

I just received an e-mail from the Autosalon organiser Alisa Lan, telling me that there is a new enthusiast network of websites called the "Hardtuned network"...

I was wondering what it was about so I had a look - http://www.skyline-gt.com/

Looks good.

Just thought that I would share...

(Mods - If it is inapropriate posting here about another Skyline based web forum, please delete).

in all fairness tho SAU has been around a lot longer than skyline-gt/hardtuned.net

you're right it is made by the ppl that made nissansilvia.com...but it is moderated by ppl that own skylines..so its not like a guy with a 180 is tryin to teach ppl about how a GTR driveline works...

I wont deny SAU is one of the best places on the net to get Information for the model range.

http://www.Skyline-gt.com just offers a different take on things, and allows us to cater to the Skyline owners who loved nissansilvia.com, and wanted an area of their own.

If anything we are wanting to support the events of clubs like SAU-NSW, as you guys are one of the best, if not THE best car club for skylines in the country.

People need to get over being internet website fanboys, hardtuned.net is about helping real car clubs promote their stuff, no matter if it's got the SAU branding or not.

(hardtuned.net isn't a club itself... it's an auto website network, - we are wanting to take the large amount of traffic we get to help promote clubs that are wanting to be affiliated with us)

If your skeptical, just sign up and check it out... if you hate it then don't go back.

I dont expect people to stop using SAU, and if anything with skyline-gt.com being launched it may even bring traffic BACK to SAU

(i mean i come on here a bit and browse around and own a SILVIA!).

Well put Loz,

I have been a member of SAU for a few years and I occasionaly have a look at NS.com (probably weekly) but I am not a member.

The forums on NS.com are excellent and I think that the idea of putting together a link for enthusiasts of almost every different import brand is a brilliant idea especially when there is such a huge amount of traffic going to your site every day.

Im going to sign up and have a look around, but I have to admit that SAU is my first and foremost club and always will be. :D

I've been, I've looked, I'va also joined and posted :D Have you approached SAU to perhaps be a partner site or anything? I didn't see any sort of comradery between the two which is quite a shame for such a large undertaking that seems to be going on here.

The idea behind it isn't a bad one, but that is a lot of car fanboys under one tree :)

And when you say SAU:NSW is one of the best, as much as I hate saying it, you should really give SAU:Vic a visit some time... They've been doing it for longer then us and have it down to a fine art ;)

SAU n NS used to be hosted on the same server back in the day, but we kinda went our separate ways a few years ago as we got too big for each other to share.

NS is following a good business model trying to tie in the various fan bases and unite them into one forum, giving sponsors value for their dollar etc. and the users a great experience.

SAU is still an enthusiast oriented community, so our business model's not as aggressive. ATM we're happy concentrating on one thing, skylines, and being good at it. The problem with affiliation is that the SAU forums, SAU VIC, SAU NSW, SAU WA etc are all their own separate entities, so even if one endorses a site or partnership, its not guaranteed to be reflected across the site.

We approached SAU a while ago to be part of the hardtuned.network ( and keep the SAU team & clubs just redesign the actual website ) unfortunately we couldn't come to any final agreement, and so in the end i made the ultimate decision as to create a new forum based around the ns.com platform, and launch it with the rest.

I have already given a couple of people from SAU access to post their events on our front page, to help promote your club.

I guess with many of the sites being in such an infant stage of their life i can already see that it's become a project that is now way over-scope, but hopefully if we make the right decisions, and MOST IMPORTANTLY get the right people on board as moderators / content contributors the whole project will pan out for the best.

I think once we roll out racedates.com.au and clubs.hardtuned.net in the next couple of months things will become a bit more clear, we aren't trying to take over or stamp out any clubs, we are wanting people to post news about their events etc. on our site so it reaches a wider audience! our ties with, and support from the key people in the industry: drift australia, superlap, ignitiondvd, express publications, and autosalon magazine & show series - along with the support we have had from all the racetracks - will hopefully cement us as the go-to place for news & info on car club events & motorsports in australia, and be a real benefit to helping enthusiasts find the club that suits them best.

Sounds a bit like what we tried to do with NSW SAU and ACT, to no avail as of yet.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
