Now that SAUQLD is a CAMS affiliated club, if we were to hoist a couple of skyline only hill climb days at Mt Cotton with full timing would many you motor sport guys be interested? We would be looking at capping the events to 20 – 30 cars.

Discuss.

Definitely! Its a top idea Josh! I'd be up for that, I love Mt Cotton and haven't run there for over a year. 30 cars would get heaps of runs too. Good way for people to learn the place.

Only hitch is I'm not a member for SAU QLD and I don't currently have a Skyline! But I do have my eye on one now that I sold my Datto track car - btw Ben I might need to chat about RB20 mods in the not too distant future :thumbsup: But if I don't end up with this Skyline, it could be a bit of fun to allow the Supra in if you need to fill up numbers when it all happens??? I can just imagine the pitlane banter!

Yeah I'd love to have a run there as I've never done it. I'm not a Qld member either but can soon organise that :)

Johhny-O will come in his GTR, as I assume Ben will too.

Harry Harry Harry, what have you done?!?! lol

Would be interested, except would need clarification on noise restrictions!!! ?

Thanks for the reply lads! In an ideal world we’d love to have member only events similar to other established clubs, but from a numbers prospective it’ll be opened up to members and forums members.

2009 will be the first year for SAU to be a CAMS affiliated club, so we understand we need to “create” events to cater to everyone for people to want to sign up

Harry, I don’t see an issue with the odd one or two cars not being a Skyline. Makes for some rivalry and SAUQLD is just about enthusiasts as much as owners. How come you sold the GTR?

Michael off the top of my head Mt Cotton is somewhere around 96db – 98db, all be it a rather lenient restriction when I’ve been there at least.

cool. I think it was temporary insanity??? I sold it for the 230rwkw Datsun 1200 coupe, but I always regretted it. I may have another Skyline very soon anyway and if that comes through I'll join SAU now that they've got CAMS affiliation.

yeah the noise isn't too much of an issue at Mt Cotton. I think they say 95dB, but my CA18DET Datsun 1200 just ran an open side pipe and never got pinged for noise there!

I'll second wrxkilla's Morgan Park suggestion too, but having been involved in runing events there in the past with SPARC you find alot of people think its a bit far to go. Its definitely worth driving the extra hour past QR IMO. They have a pretty full calendar though so that would pretty much have to be a weekday thing I'd say.

Unfortunately it’ll have to be a day at MP. One of the Execs has a pretty good report with the people who run it, so exact date TBA.

230rwkw 1200 would almost be as much fun as the GTR I’d image, if not more. I have some Dato mates, one with a 1600 coupe and the little old L banger can bring a smile with its 100hp? :P

I second the above comments, we will have to offer it to the members first but I think but all should be welcome.

It may just help break down stigma's if we can include other manufacturers fan bases & promote the 'car lover-regardless' idea

from memory the Gold Coast shire section is 92db, not sure what Redlandshire restrictions are but 95-96db comes to mind(guesstimation from old mans reticent memory-thats me :D )

I'd be interested in coming up there if dates suit and you guy's want a cockroach invading.

Neil.

absolutely. I will bring something up too. even the volvo if need be.

keep saunsw updated and we will bring along some cars as well as Neil and myself. We were going to do a road trip anyway (Russ owes me a beer or 10) and I would rather support a SAU QLD event.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
