There's an idea being thrown about for a new club...not a club that's centering around looks...but more performance...having regular track days, drag contests, 0-100's...etc...

Wouldn't matter if your car's 20 years old...as long as she's got the power and you wanna use it on the track...

The only requirement is to have a rating of at least 200hp at the fly...

That's the idea...thoughts?

It's a thought at the moment...it comes from a UK club called 200plus, myself and another member who recently moved to Auz are in talks with the owner about starting the Auz part of the club, using their name, stickers, etc...

It's an excellent club in the UK and their mailing list is also top notch, lots of performance knowledge etc...

I'm just getting feedback of people's thoughts and possible interest before putting in all the hard work and finding no-one's interested...

The website seems to be down for some reason at the moment but it's :

Thanks matey...but I remember clearly a solo-model car club that was at the Oran Park day when I was there and where the picture was taken actually...they looked down their noses at everybody else there because they thought they were better than everyone else...just because they thought they were king shit, all driving what they drive...

I'm not saying a skyline club will be the same but it's just something that has stuck in my mind as it was wrong and it really got up my nose...

(I'm keeping the clubs name out to avoid a slanging match)

hmm, know what you mean. happens quiet a bit i imagine. it all goes hand in hand with pride. i mean, you have bought a car cause you like it and are proud of it. it's only a matter of time before you get this mental attitude of 'i'm better than everyone else cause i drive this car' just human nature i guess. it'd be nice if we all appreciated all makes and models but then you wouldn't have a wonderous variety of cars.

with a solo-model club, everybody WITHIN the club is close knitted. They share the same interest in cars and can exchange knowledge and expereince about their rides. Sure, you will get clubs like the porsche club who will snob excels, but that just comes with having lots of mioney or whatever... you can't say that just because you have experienced one club snobbing another club, that suddenly any similar-make or solo-model club is going to act in the same way! THAT is called generalising, and is not something that I am fond of.

You keep telling me how N/A power is so much better than forced induction... THAT is narrow minded.

Wooohhhh...chill mate...

I said "I'm not saying a skyline club will be the same"....

And it wasn't a club that was full of rich people...let's just say it was a club that is full of another certain model of jap cars that are pretty common here..

And when I say about NA power being better than Forced induction I say it to pull your leg mate...

So please take a step back and have a deep breath mate...

I'm not trying to start a fight here...

ok...in response...answer me this...what makes a solo model car club close knitted then? [/quote:385d6e7f82]

Well, in my opinion, there are already heaps of clubs around that cater for mixed models of cars...

The whole point of a "club" is getting people together with the same interest, and sharing that interest. While most of us like and appreciate cars of all types, our main "interest" is Skylines.

We still drool over S15's and we don't even pay Minh out (too much) for buying a WRX. And that's part of the reason we will be close knit club. We can see beyond our Skylines, but it's the love of that particular car that will keep us together as a club.

oh and gsi, your idea of a club centred around top speed/performance is not a bad one. Like I said, people want to join a club because of a similar passion and if that's your passion then that might be the club for you.

It's not what i'd be looking for (with my totally stock car LOL) but best of luck with it.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
