i know i talked a lot about it and would really like to have a shot but don't really want to join some random club just for cams would of likes SAU SA to be cams affiliated already

plus haven't got my new rims or 5 stud conversion on yet and need new tyres as im on the wear indicator for my rears so don't really need to be pushing it at an event

you will one day see me at one of these events and once you do I'm guessing it will be in the blood

Undertable Madaz if the car is not ready you do no race it, its that simple.

There has to be others that are ready and keen to compete in some way.????

Come on People

As they say the bullshit stops when the flag drops yeah? so where has everyones competitive spirit gone?

As for SAU SA not being CAMS affiliated, that is pretty slack of everyone on here, when i had my line i remember people talking about it, but it never eventuated.

There are soooo many of you and it really doesnt cost that much nor take much effort to become CAMS affiliated.

It would be really good to see SAU SA as a formal car club.

As a club SAU SA would have no problem getting members there are plenty of skyline people who are in to their cars and cruises.

Andrew, get your AWD Turbo Challenge entry form back to us before the event on the 25th and you will be eligible for the events that you next compete. You do not have to do each event mentioned, you may only wish to compete in one you feel most competitive in. However, the AWD Turbo Challenge Trophy counts the points over all mentioned rounds.

Don't worry about joining a club just pay for a Day License. Also keep the receipt and what you pay for your day license will come off your full license. I'm going to give this hill climb a miss as I'm going to do the track day at Mallala on the Saturday after and i can't afford to do both.

Yes I know :) and it's a dam shame!! ;) You guys seriously dont know what you are missing out on...I hear "but my car isnt set up yet or properly", How would most really know unless you got out there and really used your car....

I have got the Track bug now and I cant stop and my car inst even set up that great, Good Tyres are the key and then you go from there with what upgrades you need..

There is alway's travelling to another state, I know that sounds huge but its well worth it I can promise I.E Deca, any of the VIC track days..driver training days..

The Mitsibishi club have the right idea and have been putting on motorsports event for as long as I can remember The SVD club used to join in on some of them...Could always do the same and join in on one of there motorkhana,trackdays,hillclimbs to get the feel for it or even share the hiring of the track, If more people get into this sort of stuff then it has to get better!!

This event is awesome and I am in a similar club (SSCC) that run this sort of stuff through out the year.

Great to see that some are going to at least give it ago..and yes Maz you should put your skirt on and lead by example and get out there and do one of these events :)

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
