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.

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
