HIPSI, Some of the most active members don't own Skylines, and aslong as it's a form of Jap Import then they'll be more than welcome.

R33 Impul, We will be looking for donations, anything will be appreciated.

Mat, We'll be looking into CAMS affiliation once the Incorporation is complete.

Personally I think that all members should own a skyline. It is Skylines WA after all. Maybe non offical club meetings/cruises etc, could include other makes.

Not to shut others out or anything.

I hope this Doesn't Happen as I for one and dad (bully) Love going on Skylines australia cruises. we Attend quite a lot of meets and SAU is the only Car club apart from rice (our own rocko based group) that we cruise with due to the friendly nature to all import owners. Of course its always going to be skyline orientated but i'd hate to be rejected ;)

I agree with gen180 and Paul ..

there are a few members here who are active participants in the club but don't own Skylines, but I also agree with Steve in that it should be a Jap car club if we're going to accept other types of cars.

I mean after all it is Skylines Australia, and we're already pushing the boundaries that the name implies. If someone wants to join who owns another type of car, well there are plenty of clubs out there for that sort of thing.

Ok fair enough im not trying to leave people out but wats the point of calling it a Skyline club if owners of other cars can be members? I keep saying this because there is no dedicated skyline club in WA and when the idea came up on the forum thats wat i though it would be. If you wish to include other makes maybe a change of name?????

No - because the core base will be Skylines - it has after all come from the SAU fourms that this club will exsist - hence the name must be something affiliated with Skylines

for things like general imports , antilag or similar is the go. Though i know we arnt all imports either as we are performance based.

SAUWA is fine...

As long as its not a torana or something like that then i'll welcome it...

As tomj said performance is where we are based...not all our cars are imports... eg. R31s and shit like that...

I say if it has an edge like a datto with an SR ;) then we should welcome it :D

my 2 cents

Wy don't you have an 'affiliated membership' as per Commodore Car Club of WA?

In this, any non Commodore is allowed to join, however for track events where they compete against others, the affiliated members aren't allowed to join in?

The affiliated members pay less, since they are less 'active' however still get to join in on cruises and the like

I think the main core of members should be Skylines, and the rest as an affiliated membership where they are less proactive, as described above :D

I agree Paul - we have non-skyline members who are sometimes more active than some members who do own skylines. The RICE guys have always been willing to help out (eg the skills day) and not all of them own Lines. They also make a presence at many of our cruises and are well known within the SAU. We have never excluded them or other import enthusiasts before and we shouldnt start excluding them now.

I owned a 180sx when I first joined at I was welcomed to cruises etc, the friendly nature of SAU was attractive and I dont think we should lose this as a club.

I don't think you should limit it to any vehicle.

As this is a social club as well then what difference does it make?

The Nissan car club has commodores in it and the Mini car club has Nissans in it , so what?

At the end of the day , it is the person , not the car we are needing to make a club work and I know some top people driving some fairly average cars.

The average person would not normally consider being in a Skyline club if they haven't got one , unless they are passionate about them or enjoy the existing members company.

Don't forget , there needs to be a trial period with ALL members where the committee reserves the right to say you are a tosser and boot them out :D

My .02c ( cos the business has the rest... :)

What the old bloke said above........

And to the few who say "it should be Skylines only" - pull your heads out of your arse. Some of us have been around since day 1 and even before when we all used to hang on Skylines Downunder. We all have had Skylines at some stage and still appricaite them. Why should we be excluded when we have contribute to the forum, events, etc for years - and some of the whinging twats have just joined (2 months one of of you).

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
