Club PSi is focused on the improvement and enjoyment of safe driving skills. 

We understand and try to promote the difference between the street and the track.

As far as we are concerned, driving like an idiot on the street doesn't help anybody. 

As a club, we are trying to uphold a standard and in doing so strongly discourage any sort 

of dangerous, irresponsible, or just plain stupid driving. If you want to drift, or speed, 

or do burnouts, then do it on the track, not at one of our cruises. Any persons caught 

doing so will be asked to leave, if they persist number plates will be recorded 

and forwarded onto police. 

Club PSi has changed from its original presence back in 2002, read the full story HERE

SO WHATS THE DEAL WITH CLUB PSI THESE DAYS?

You may have heard of us, seen cars sporting stickers, or maybe you even remember our formation and initial strong street presence from back in 2002. Whatever the case, we have come a long way since then, so allow me to explain a bit of our history, as it is important to what the Club PSi of 2008 has become.

The club essentially began as a branch of NissanSilvia.com. The main motorsport focus of the group back then was drifting, so the club organised many drift practise days in the days when the sport was still largely unknown. The cars were stunning and street presence was strong, so the club started to form a reputation of being focused soley on drifting.

But over the years, members and administration have inevitably changed, and therefore so have the objectives and direction of the club.

The Club PSi of 2008 is focused on the improvement and enjoyment of safe driving skills. The members are all in it for the same thing; to enjoy their cars to the limits, in safe and legal environments. This is why the club these days is so strongly based around various official motorsport events, as opposed to street driving. There is no better place than a track to find out how intune you really are with your car, and no safer way to become a smarter and more controlled driver.

It's not about what car your drive, it's how you drive it that matters. How our members are seen driving has a huge impact on how the club is percieved as a whole, so we strongly discourage any sort of dangerous, irresponsible, or just plain stupid driving. If you want to drift, or speed, or do burnouts, then do it on the track. There's loads of events to choose from. I can tell you from experience that it's just not worth doing it on the street, and the track is just so much more fun!

We are now an officially affiliated club with CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motorsport). This means that we can provide our members with access to racing licenses, such as the CAMS L2S, necessary to compete in pretty much any motorsport event up to a national level. It also grants us the ability to organise and run our own official motorsport events.

And we strongly encourage our members to use their licenses, but thats not hard as there is such a vast range of events out there to try. From technical slow speed motorkhanas and hillclimbs, to high speed circuit or drift events at Mallala, there really is something for every driver.

Off the track, we still have our monthly meeting/dinner where members can catch up and discuss upcoming events and plans. We also hold a monthly hills cruise, along with dyno days, BBQs, road trips, and other social events.

One of the most integral aspects to the Club PSi of 2008 however, is that we understand and try to promote the difference between the street and the track. As far as we are concerned, driving like an idiot on the street doesn't help anybody. As a club, we are trying to uphold a standard.

For more information, be sure to check out the (About Club PSi) and (Frequently Asked Questions) sections of the website. If you have any questions you can (Contact Us), or just come along to a meeting or cruise and meet the gang.

Cheers,

Paul Secker

Club PSi Vice President

Sounds good! Looks like you guys are heading in the right direction

Nothing wrong, just heard not-so fantastic things about the club in general in the past! Eg. More of a RCK-styled club.

not sure where you heard them from, back in the day it was about 'driving' and partying then it went lame and im not going to say anything else :)

Very much in agreeance. It was the in between time that it went down the pooper.

yup yup ah the good old days :D

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
