Intro - Vtec Yo! Picture Already Attached


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I recently bought a DC5 Type S following a 2 year break from car modifying and was looking for a forum/club that held regular open invite trackdays and was CAMs affiliated and found SAU VIC to be pretty much the only one around for JDM cars.

Given the name of the Club Skylines Australia, I wanted to ask whether it is an appropriate club for me to join?

I've had a history of owning JDM "sports" cars including a civic, WRX and s15 and am looking to just have some track time with the car with some like minded people.

And no i don't believe a B16A is faster than a RB26 because of VTEC yO!...But i do like Hondas :blink:

Considering that someone will inevitably post a picture, thought I'd save everyone the trouble:

Hahahaha! Don't think that posting a picture will stop the barrage of more :blink:

SAU is a pretty relaxed club. We welcome all cars and types of people. The Vic Club is one of the cheapest CAM's affiliated clubs too! I reckon it's a good move, plus you get to come to all the fun DECA days etc.

If you're keen to come meet some of us pop along to Christmas drinks - check out the events section :D

Oh and my personal fav......

Dont forget to stick on a Type R sticker, in red somewhere on the block(if its big enough for the sticker) - Gives you 50hp/wheel. haha. Just kidding dude. welcome along from NZ :blink:

Tonnes of info to be found on here.

Welcome. You don't need a Skyline to join SAU Vic, we welcome people of all walks...

Come along to a monthly general meeting...you don't need to be a member to come (though you can sign up there if you wish) and you can find out some great info about the club / what we do / when we do it.

And now for the Honda jokes because you provoked us with the posting of a picture:

What is the difference between a Honda and a wheelchair? Rear wheel drive.

NISMO = Nissan Motorsport; Honda Motorsport = HOMO.

Just some random club facts (that can be seen from the 2009 Ann Rpt)

Only 2/3 of our members drive skylines. So that means virtually 100 people without one in club ranks which is a clear indicator we are VERY diverse, and honestly i think we are one of the best car clubs in Vic :blink:

Ye i know im bias being President and all, but if you can find a better community of people both online & in person @ social events/cruises/circuit days, i'd be very surprised

Thanks for the welcome guys ;) I heard this one one of the best and active clubs in VIC as well, and one of the few that actually does events as opposed to only taking fotos of cars....

I'll definitely become a paid member asap so I can start attending some events. Right now the car needs a few things done to it, with suspension (previous owner had king springs which I think are chopped) being the main priority.

So I bought a set of Tein Basics and a CAI (for the VTEC yO! scream you know....) and will be installing them this week. After the xmas season I'll probably look at start attending some sprints or timed laps.

Probably won't be able to do full races for a while, at least not until i do something about the brakes, which fade pretty quickly and are frankly unsafe after even a 20 min spirited road drive within speed limits.

Hhahahahahaha i think Hondas are great if you know what they are... and don't worship N/A to the point where you start making unrealistic claims. Having owned 2 forced induction cars (S15/WRX) i'm all for FI... and would eventually hope for a Jackson Racing Super Charger in the Dc5 sourced from capa or USA.

So hopefully i'll see u all in 2010 at a track somewhere... just making my car track ready so that the VTEC doesnt fall off...

hahaha thanks guys.

Well this weekend the CAI, Coilovers and HIDs are all going in. Can't wait to see the car truly become "mine" once the customisation starts. Next week should see the various strut bars and sway bars and other reinforcement coming.

I'll take some pics of the car after the lowering and post them up, pretty stock looking but the key thing here is that my lady friend won't know naything has been done to the car until its too late :):P

Its really good to hear that SAU has such a diverse member base. I been on a few other forums/clubs over the years and haven't really seen anything like it.

I'm not a fan of Honda's to say the least...except for the NSX-R...but you're welcome buddy...all cars are welcome...I like how you approached it humbly...come to a few of our events...hope to see you soon...

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
