I'm just going to make a final statement on this.

This issue is a mountain out of a mole hill. No one has indicated they will be displaying a non skyline/skyline related model to date. Those that have been mentioned as having other cars are displaying with other clubs that they belong to or attending in a spectator capacity.

I've been disappointed in the fact a majority of SAU have apparently been over ruled regarding SAU displays by those who do not, or can not support the SAU displays. To gain support some have tried to confuse the issue of the entire wheels event with the SAU display or tried to say people with other types of cars are not welcome in SAU. I think the majority have seen through this deception.

We have seen all sorts of suggestions from skylines only to:

Including any car in the display

Including any car as long as its not lined up with the skylines

Include any car as long as the non skylines are on the outsides of the display

Include any car as long as they don't out number skylines

Include any car as long as there's only a few non skylines

etc etc etc etc.............................

As I stated in the first post, I don't care what the outcome is I'll organise to get a spot for SAU. What I do care about is the vocal minority who don't actually support an event, overruling the quiet majority. In fact it pisses me off.

To give some perspective to what some of these suggestions can lead too....My parter has a rusty shit box, she attends more events then the majority of the people posting here and if we go with "any car" then she wants the rusty shit box to take centre stage. She's earned it by attending SAU events, organising drinks etc and attending early events to get things organised so the majority of SAU can enjoy the day. How dare anyone say she can't park where she wants.

But I'm being too silly, in fact I'm quite willing to let anyone of the people who disagree with me or anyone else for that matter organise our attendance at Wheels. Most of the information is in the post regarding the event and half the work is done already. I'm quite happy and willing to assist anyone if they are willing to take on the responsibility of running the day for SAU.

Could you be any more melodramatic??? *hands you a tissue*

This thread was all about those to have an opinion but regardless of the numbers up the top, if there are other people that feel the same way as you have then they've let you down by also not speaking up.

Have other people that have voiced opinions not been involved in any events? I see Hill climb people, people that have attended the dyno day, people that attend cruises.

It's a big call to say the "majority of SAU have been overruled" if they think that don't you think they'll speak up for themselves?

I am really disappointed that I can't make the wheels event however I have to leave Canberra for an engagement party of a friend that I've known for most of my life.

Yes there may be no non Skylines on the day but what this all comes down to is if that ignorant statement hadn't been made at the start there may have been no issue at all.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
