BTW Terry, you don't see muscle car clubs dwindling in numbers, in fact they import more and more of them!

Same goes for hot rod clubs - every meet they have here seems to be growing in numbers!

Yes but hotrods and cheap turbo imports do not have the same demographic of owners.

I can tell you for a fact that 80% of people in Vic only own their skyline from 3 years or less.

This is going directly off the Vic club records. Most people sell their skyline and move on within a 3year period.

the other thing is that there is a lot of niche clubs - in Mildura in the past month alone we have seen meets for the Eureka Club (Pretty sure it was around 700 made total!) and a some 30's model Citroen Club!

I think it could be a workable idea, though it would be kind of different to the R31 club in that there was no mass produced Aussie version of the R32. But then what about a GT-R club, or an 80's Import Club, or an R33 Club etc lol. I am sceptical that this would actually get off the ground, but it would be cool :)

heck yes im up for this! and although skyline owners apparently only keep their cars for 3 years on average i predict this site to do well, since its about cheap turbo imports, which young people own and young people love the internet lol~

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
