What I would like to get from you all is if there is a minimum of 20 Skyline’s here that may be interested in participating in this event. It would be great if we could get 10 from NSW and 10 from the ACT.

In line with the mandatory rules of WSID, some of the other rules we have been thinking of are:

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

2. All cars must be street registered.

3. All cars are limited to no more than semi-slick tyres.

If there is a car that does not comply with any of the above additional rules but intends on joining us for the day then this car will be excluded from all prizes.

Cheers

Ross

I own a Stagea, which is basically a Skyline chassis with a wagon shell. Would this rule me (and other Stagea owners) out?

At this stage I'm going to have keep it to Skyline's and Supra's only, but I will be reassing this in about two weeks if I can't achieve the 40 car limit. I have a lot of interest with Toyota owners that have dropped in a 2JZ GTE into their car's and I'm thinking of maybe opening it up to hybrids.

I'll have a definite answer in a round two weeks.

Thank you to everyone that have shown some interest to date. This Skyline group could consist of NSW owners at this stage as a lot of the ACT Skyline owners are umming and urring along with the NSW Supra owners.......

Cheers

hahahahaha yeah the NSW supra club owners are a bunch of pussies they love their supras and covet them like they are the best car on the road but they are too scared to take them on the track and give them a real hit.... (except for the odd few that havethe guts) i have been to several supra NSW club cruises when one of my mates owned a supra and i was the only skyline along for the ride of course i was generally waiting for them up the road a bit cuz they dont like to give it a squirt lolz....... anyways thats my little rant done and its a bit off topic i might say....... SORRY *SHRUGS* im very interested but not 100% just yet as i need to get the car tuned before any hard running

I really need to see if we can achieve the numbers first before I lock in a date. I need 20 skylines and 20 Supra's at this stage and from what I can see we're around 10 down on each model if I try to keep it to ACT & NSW owners.

I will have a definite answer for everyone in around 2 weeks, say the 2nd week in September.

hahahaha wont be a matter of look who's talking champ..... i got defected last sunday and have to get everything in my engine bay engineered so there goes all the money i have saved up to buy my aftermarket ecu....... otherwise i would have said straight up that i was in like flynn and be showing a few supra club owners what my baby is made of lolz may not keep up with some of the more modified TT 2JZGTE models but like i said the majority of the ppl i have met on there dont like giving their 3 litre babies a good squirt hehehe....... but im more than happy to have my ass handed to me by a supra i got nothin to prove just wana have some fun but to do that i need the car to be running right and not dogging out when i put the boot into it lolz... as i said i will know more closer to the date and will post up whether i will be in attendance but confirmation of a date would be very helpful so i will know if im actually available or not hahaha

I think opening it up to hybrids would be really good. It could it be a 'RB v JZ' event instead of 'Skyline v Supra' to achieve the numbers needed. There are heaps of hybrids out there.

Since when is a street cruise a race? If you came out on most of the SAU cruises you'd see that people generally dont give their skylines "a real hit" during a skyline cruise either!! It's that sort of behaviour that gets car clubs cruises blacklisted by the cops..

Agreed though if Supra NSW dont get any/many local entrants then that's a pretty poor effort!

There's a lot of talk re: the NSW Supra owner's and how there is a lack of interest. Don't forget that the ACT Skyline owners are also showing very little interest in this event as well.

If someone says that there aren't many Skyline's in the ACT then how many Supra's do you think are down here?? :-p

Guys/Gals

I've decided to postpone this event until next year. I'm well over my head and luckily I have had some members offer to assist me with this event but there is too much involved to have something like this go ahead this year.

A new thread with an expected or firmer date will be posted sometime in the near future.

Thanks to everyone that provided input, it has been very useful and are being considered for when this event takes off next year.

Thanks again

Ross

      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

      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

      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

      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.
